If you are puzzled over what window treatments to use for your French doors, look no further than Silhouette blinds. Unlike traditional blinds, Silhouettes are a unique blend of pleated shades and mini blinds. The look is soft, subtle, and fantastic, making them popular in all shapes and sizes of rooms. One reason why Silhouettes are so popular as dressings for French doors is because of their light, airy look that softens the light and view from the outside world. Silhouette blinds also fit into most budgets, making them an affordable option that looks great.
Traditionally, Silhouette blinds are not the first type of treatment for French doors. Vertical blinds or fabric panels are often the standard for creating a look for any type of doors, including French doors. These other options for window treatments can make a heavy, bulky look that may not fit into all types of design plans that you have in mind for your specific room. Also, these options can be pricey, so why choose a type of window treatment that does not quite fit into the style plan of your room and costs a fortune? Instead, Silhouette blinds make the choice simple and easy. One use of Silhouette blinds is for French doors that open into the interior of your home. It is becoming more and more popular to exchange traditional wood paneled doors in bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, dens, offices, dining rooms, and any other type of room for breezy French doors. One reason why French doors are replacing traditional solid wood doors is because of their look. Especially for small rooms, French doors are fantastic for tricking the eye into believe the room is actually larger than its true size. So instead of closing up a room using bulky window treatments, Silhouettes allows this trick to remain in place. Silhouette blinds are actually sheer fabric panels between which horizontal pieces of opaque fabric have been suspended. Think of Silhouettes as fabric mini blinds. Just like mini blinds, Silhouettes can be opened or closed to allow for more or less privacy and light. However, unlike the harsh look of mini blinds, the sheer fabric panels of Silhouette blinds allows for a softened, light look for your room, even when the blinds are in the closed position for the maximum privacy. Many homeowners choose to include Silhouette blinds into their decorating plan for more practical reasons. Silhouettes are a great deal lighter in weight than mini blinds, vertical blinds, and even fabric draperies, making them easier to install and maneuver. Furthermore, Silhouettes are virtually silent and will make no noise when the door is opened or closed, unlike other types of window treatments. This annoying tapping or banging is a huge drawback to other types of blinds, even when those blinds are secured on both the bottom and the top of your French door. If you are looking to provide your door with a beautiful look without sacrificing privacy or light blocking, look no further than Silhouette blinds. |
