Window Coverings for Your Doors

If you’re looking for treatments for doors and you’re concerned about matching the style to your window treatments, remember this: It’s okay to have one type of window covering in one room, and a different type in another—or even in the same room! Contrast in interior design can give a room more depth, interest, or style.

At Bretz Interiors serving the Denver area, our trained consultants will be happy to walk you through all the things to consider when you’re looking for coverings for your doors.

Choices of Window Coverings for Doors

Here are some of the many different window fashion combinations for your doors and windows:

• If you have wood blinds on your windows, try vertical blinds or complementary custom-made curtains on your doors.
• If you have Hunter Douglas’s Silhouette® shadings on your windows, try Hunter Douglas’s Luminette® Sheers on your door.
• If you have bamboo woven wood shades on your windows, try vertical woven wood panels on your door.
• If you have honeycomb shades on your windows, try custom draperies or Vertiglide® by Hunter Douglas on your sliding glass door.
• If you have roman shades on your windows, try split-draw drapes on your door.

Coverings That Work for Both Doors and Windows

Sometimes, the best way to achieve the look you want is to match coverings of both windows and doors. If you feel like you really need to have all of your coverings match, here are some stylish window treatments that can work well on both doors and windows:

• Designer Roller shades
• Honeycomb shades, horizontal for smaller openings, vertical for sliding glass doors and large opening
• Alustra® woven texture shades by Hunter Douglas
• Plantation shutters

Remember Function as Well as Style for Your Doors

Certainly, style is a top priority. But without the perfect functionality, you’ll find even the most beautiful treatments go out of date quickly. A door serves a much different purpose than a window, which means it should be looked at differently from a style perspective, too.

For example:  If your living room has two windows and a sliding glass door, and your adjacent kitchen has a large but short window over the sink and a skylight, you have several distinct window covering needs. To achieve both seamless style and functionality that adds convenience to your home, you’ll likely require different products that can be custom-made to complement each other.
