French Door Curtains: Full Privacy, No Blackout
French doors are a gorgeous gateway between your home and the great outdoors, and they’re well known for letting in the sun. Each door has a noticeable window that lets light in, though.
While sunlight can be nice, however, the window aspect of French doors means that your privacy is sacrificed. Whether you’re worrying about nosy neighbors or you just like that peace of mind, the solution is obvious: Put curtains over them! This is where French door curtains come into the picture.
The Problem With Blackout Curtains as Window Treatments
Blackout curtains can be great for a bedroom, especially when you want to sleep a little more. But they can be a problem for French doors.
They’re Heavy and Don’t Look Pleasing
Blackout curtains have weighty fabric, which can be the opposite of what you want.
Letting in Sunlight from Your French Doors is Good for You
Some people like total darkness, but that’s not necessarily good for everyone. In fact, many studies show that if you don’t get enough sun, you may suffer several health effects. These effects include poor sleep, depression, and lack of energy.
When the floor-to-ceiling wall is covered with sunlight, you may feel happier. This is because the sun releases serotonin, a feel-good chemical. If you use this room to work, sunlight may help you feel more productive and less stressed. For example, if you’re a writer, the touch of sunlight may open you up to a variety of ideas. When you leave your bedroom and are greeted with light, it tells your body that it’s time to wake up.
Finally, in the wintertime, blackout curtains that filter out the sun mean that your home won’t be heated naturally through sunlight as well. Light filtering curtains smartly let in light in areas you want heated. Meanwhile, blackout curtains work in places you want cooled, such as your bedroom, and can save you quite a bit on your heating bills, especially in peak seasons.
Why Our French Door Curtains Are the Perfect Drapes
French door curtains are perfect for your room for several reasons.
Privacy Without Blackout
French door curtains, such as the ones we offer, come in many material types and thicknesses. Our cotton curtains, for example, will give you enough privacy in your room while only blocking out the sun by 20 to 30 percent. This means that sunlight can fill your space without being too harsh or heating your home up too much.
Our store offers French door curtains in different opacity, from see-through, no-lined door curtains to blackout drapes.
Beautiful Colors
Besides being stylish, French door curtains come in many unique colors. For example, our shop has curtains in many colors, from hot pink to smooth green. Different colors can complement or add contrast to your room, allowing your curtains to match the space and style.
Adjustable Width and Length
French doors can come in all shapes and sizes, so should your window treatments. Our curtains are selectable by length and width, letting your curtains hang to the ground or halfway. Before ordering these designer curtains, be sure to measure your French doors properly to see how wide the curtains need to be and how low they should hang.
Adjustable Size for Your Curtain Rods
Good curtain panels will come in several sizes for your curtain rods. Larger sizes allow the curtains to be fixed or moved along. Three inches is the most common, but needs are different. Luckily, you can change the pocket length.
Not Just Curtains for Your French Doors
Another alternative is to look toward shades for your window. For example, our linen Roman shades uniformly cover your French door window, letting in sunlight while also providing privacy for your space. There is also a decorative selection, with the pull cord coming in several varieties and an option to add cleats to protect any children in your home. Our shades extend and retract easily and quickly when you want to add more or less sunlight or privacy to your home.
Dress Your Room With Our Curtain Selection
Window treatments are a minor yet striking part of your home decor. They may match the style of your home, tying your aesthetic together, or they may contrast. Our store offers many types of curtains and shades for French doors, which add a unique touch to your space. The curtains we offer can function as subtle light filters, offering privacy while keeping the sunlight in your room.
Our curtains come in different prices, too. We have many luxury options, or you can skip that for a more budget-friendly yet still pretty option. Our curtains range from tab-tops to blinds that hang as low as you want them.
So, if you want to light up your living room, sunroom, or bathroom while keeping a man cave or bedroom darker, we have you covered. Shop around our store. 3HLinen has a style that fits your needs and your budget, guaranteed!
