Choosing Wood, Metal or Faux Wood Blinds

By

Blinds are a great option if you’re looking for beautiful, classic-looking window treatments that are also highly functional. However, once you decide that blinds are the best fit for you, there are still choices to be made! Here at The Shade Store, we offer a few different types of blinds, each available in its own selection of colors and finishes. When it comes to choosing a blind material, here are the things you should consider:

Our Wood Blinds come in over 60 eco-friendly materials. The large collection of color and finishes available can match any décor or design style. If you’re looking for some added interest, our Wood Blinds also come with the option to add Decorative Tapes. These 1 ½” cotton bands cover the holes in the blinds’ slats, lessening light seepage. They are available in 12 colors, each providing a beautiful, custom touch.

Our Wood Blinds offer multiple control types, including cord lift, cord tilt, cordless, and wand tilt. Additionally, we have a motorized tilt option. This allows you to control the openness of your blinds from your smartphone, tablet, or home automation system.

Faux Wood Blinds are a nice alternative to regular Wood Blinds, especially if your window is in a high-moisture area, like a kitchen or bathroom. Made of eco-friendly foam wood, our Faux Wood Blinds are resistant to moisture and mildew. One of our least-expensive options, they are also available in eight stunning finishes, so you are guaranteed to find one that works well for your space and your budget!

Metal Blinds

Our Metal Blinds are a part of our EconoShades Collection. Starting at only $136, these blinds are the best choice for low-budget projects. They are both versatile and functional, and available in five different colors. Their sleek, aluminum design makes them easy-to-clean and very durable.

Window Treatments for French Doors

French doors are often pieces of art in their own right, providing a unique and attractive transition between two rooms. When paired with the right window treatments, French doors can become a focal point of any space. Capable of adding color, creating privacy, blocking out light, and enhancing the overall appearance, size, or shape of the doors, window treatments can prove to be a valuable addition to any set of French doors.

Pull the look of your room together with one of our favorite window treatments for French doors – Roman Shades, Drapes, or Blinds. Whether you’re looking for sleek and modern, classic and soft, or something in-between, The Shade Store has a solution to meet your wants and needs.

Roman Shades for French Doors

Roman Shades are an obvious choice to enhance the look and functionality of your French doors. Roman Shades offer privacy, block out light, and deliver a sleek, modern appearance. Because Roman Shades stack up evenly as they are opened, they offer a unique and clean look while still adding luxurious texture.

Choose from our six distinct and meticulously handcrafted Roman Shade styles available in more than 400 different materials. Learn more about the unique styles and benefits of our roman shades here.

Drapery for French Doors

If you’re in search of a soft, romantic look for your French doors, drapery is a distinguished choice. A classic look with a modern edge, drapery is mounted at the top of each door and hangs freely to the length you desire. Drapes deliver a lavish softness to any space, thanks to their cascading folds of high-quality fabric. Choose from simple, understated designs to create a backdrop for your room, or choose a unique, eye-catching design to make the drapery a focal-point of the space.

The Shade Store features eight unique custom drapery styles to meet the needs and enhance the personality of any room.

Blinds for French Doors

If you’re looking for a simple, minimalist method of creating privacy and blocking out light, blinds remain a classic choice. Wood blinds offer warmth and texture, while metal blinds deliver modern functionality and durability.

We encourage you to take a look at our three types of blinds, wood, vertical, and metal. Wood blinds are available in a number of stains and finishes to complete the look of your French doors and enhance the design of your room.
