Comparing the Best French Door Blinds and Shades

The Rebarts Blinds and Shades Store design team loves it when customers ask us to help them design window treatments for French doors. These double doors have glass panels that extend most of their length. They're so elegant that they add design interest to doorways leading to outdoor decks, balconies, and patios. Sometimes, they transition between interior rooms. Certain Hunter Douglas window treatments are better suited for these doors, but still, there are quite a few choices.

French Door Shades and Blind Styles

These are the main categories to choose from:

  • Cellular Shades: With a honeycomb design, these shades are versatile, soft, and energy efficient.
  • Roller Shades: Ideal for contemporary homes, roller shades offer simplicity and a streamlined aesthetic.
  • Roman Shades: Known for elegant profiles, Roman shades offer excellent room darkening.
  • Metal Blinds: These blinds are modern, practical, and perfect for casual settings like playrooms and offices.
  • Wooden Shutters: Genuine wood shutters are always in style and add elegance to bedrooms, living rooms, and dining rooms.
  • Woven Shades: This newer style adds organic appeal to French doors.

How Can I Choose the Best French Door Blinds or Shades?

The starting point is function: What do you need your blinds or shades to do for the room? If your French doors allow excessive brightness and heat or cold into the room, think about insulation. Or, if neighbors are peeking in, you can prioritize privacy. Look for styles that are customizable for French doors; you'll want a perfect fit.

Since choosing just one isn't easy, we've selected three of the best to compare. We can customize all three (and install them) as French door blinds or shades.

Three French Door Window Treatments With Style

  • Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds: Available in ½", 1", or 2" slat sizes, these sleek blinds come in over 70 colors and finishes, including pearlescent and matte. You can add cut-outs for French door handles and window cranks, and the de-Light™ feature eliminates or decreases the size of cord holes. de-Light™ minimizes the light leaking through the blind or shade for a darker room.
  • Duette® Cellular Shades: Incredibly versatile, these honeycomb shades form an air barrier when lowered, regulating room temperatures and saving homeowners energy costs. We custom-order them in various horizontal and vertical heights, widths, and pleat sizes. And that's not all—choose from 150+ colors and textures and convenient upgrades like Duolite®.
  • Provenance® Woven Wood Shades: These nature-inspired French door blinds look stunning wherever installed. They feature artistically woven wood and other organic materials that bring texture to the forefront of any room. This design might seem delicate at first glance, but it's surprisingly durable, with minimal bowing, stretching, or breaking. Hunter Douglas offers this in Roman, Recessed Roman, Waterfall Roman, and Vertical Drapery styles.
