So it’s important to choose a window dressing that best suits the style and function of your French doors.

Dining room French doors

Roller blinds are a great choice for dining room French doors. Combining practical benefits with stylish looks, Roller blinds not only help reduce unwanted glare for diners, they’re also easy to clean and maintain. Available in a range of performance fabrics, including moisture-resistant, PVC and blackout options, Roller blinds are sleek and streamlined, giving you flexible control over light, with the added benefit of rolling away neatly when you want to fully open your doors.

Bedroom French doors

French doors allow the early morning sun to flood in, which is lovely, except when you’re trying to sleep. So layering is a good option here as it gives you flexibility. A soft Roman blind layered with curtains gives you the right level of sophisticated style, as well as allowing you to effectively control the light and temperature, especially if you opt for thermal linings which give you added cosiness.

Kitchen French doors

Kitchens are high usage areas where muddy footprints and sticky fingers call for a functional, hardwearing performance product. Vertical blinds are great for these areas as they filter light beautifully but are also hardwearing and robust. They are available in special finishes and fabrics including waterproof, Teflon coated, PVC and anti-glare options for easy cleaning and maintenance.
