When it comes to home decor, blinds play a major role. If you already have window treatment to match the theme of your home but doors are still neglected, then it’s high time you buy the blinds for your doors.

One thing you need to consider before buying is that the blinds for doors should complement the window treatment. We have compiled more such things you must know before you shop for door blinds.

Front Doors

Let’s begin with the front door of your home. If you think that the way you got your window blinds working perfect for controlling light and privacy, door blinds wouldn’t achieve the same.

You are wrong in that. Yes we agree that the front doors vary in shapes and sizes and that their design may pose some difficulty but it’s not an impossible mission to achieve.

If you want to block the light completely, you can opt for blackout vertical blinds. At the Solar Blinds, they are available in variety of colours and materials online.

Front doors often have sidelight windows. For privacy reasons, you would want to cover sidelight windows with blinds. Also the look of your door from outside would become better.

Apart from vertical blinds, you can opt for roller blinds, mini blinds, honeycomb shades and window film.

Front door arches are other major concern of front doors to be covered. You can go for Cellular arches. They fan into a semi-circle shape and so ideal for front door arches. Arches can be covered from the inside or outside as per the mounting depth and surface available.

As already told that the blackout vertical blinds are ideal for front doors, there are other options as well.

Roller blinds or shades are efficient and handles too get easily fit. Window films can also be used. Roman shades are great of shallow windows.

Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding glass doors add beauty to the house. So when choosing blinds for sliding doors, you need to consider those options that will only add to the beauty.

Before buying blinds for sliding glass doors, just consider the theme of other window blinds already there in the room. Vertical blinds can easily coordinate with your already existing blinds.

Glass door is mostly used door in your house, so better to choose durable blinds for it.
