Sliding glass doors provide wide-open views, connecting interior space to the outdoors. You can leave them uncovered or get off-the-shelf window treatments, but neither do these doors justice. The Interior Views Design Center design team recommends custom window treatments for sliding glass doors the tailored fit and finish are worth the investment.

Window Treatments for Sliding Glass Doors: The Essentials

The primary purpose of the shades should align with your needs—whether it's for light control, privacy, or insulation. Keep your priorities in mind when shopping. Other considerations include finding fabrics and materials that complement your home's interior style. Look for colors and textures that coordinate with existing furnishings and decor.

Think about the space's overall look and feel. Blinds with a more classic appearance might fit better in a traditional home, while innovative options like Luminette® Sheer Panels can enhance contemporary settings.
