Creative Coverings

Drapes, shades, curtains, blinds or shutters – all of these are excellent options when talking creative coverings. There are a few superb examples of what one can do to make their doors look all the more beautiful. A few bevel-style French doors can be completely transformed with colorful and bright pieces of fabric. If the pieces of fabric do not excite you or create a sparkle, try a world map or a landscape for a change. Other alternatives to this could be the use of lace or window films like vines, stripes and flowers. Frosted window panes can also bring a refined look to these French doors keeping intact the degree of privacy that you want from a good window covering.

Simplicity with Shades and Shutters

Often times we are in need of something we can pull down when it’s too bright or pull up when it isn’t. The tiered Roman Shades are for homeowners with French doors who do not want big bulky drapes or permanent coverings on their windows. Woven wood shades are best in the sunny warm climate as they are lightweight and are super easy to open and close. Wood shutters on a pair of French doors add rustic charm and render a give you a tropical look to a room while also being super easy to open and close. One can also use simple striped shades which are not too overpowering or dark, but are just enough to let light in the room. Last but not the least, there are the white plantation shutters for your French doors that help block excess light and create a private retreat for your leisure.

Drapery on a Grand Scale

If you have French doors in your rooms and are looking for curtains and drapes then ‘big’ is the word for you. The desired look can be achieved if they are hung high above the doors though. If you own one of those amazing black French doors, teamed with bright yellow drapes, the rest of the décor can be well-matched with an exciting pout of color. Patterns like the black-and-white Hampton toile or the blue buffalo checks hung high above French doors can really get the job done for you. Last but not the least, there are simple white drapes to bring celestial translucence.

French doors, with their multiple small windows can add a very stylish look to your home. Traditionally available in hinges and pairs, with either an in-swing or out-swing, the beauty of these doors can be reflected with the selection of appropriate coverings.
