Best Window Treatments for Doors

Classic Blinds & Shutters • October 24, 2025

The doors to your home are one of its grandest features. If you have doors with inset glass, like French doors or sliding doors, then they’re allowing in a lot of light—and could be a privacy concern. Treating your doors to new window treatments adds value to your home—they are an excellent investment that will give you light control over your home.

Today, our team at Classic Blinds & Shutters Design Center is delighted to introduce our favorite window coverings for three different door styles.

Cellular Shades for Your Sliding Glass Door

While the size of sliding glass doors opens up your home to a world of light, they also leak in a lot of cold or warm air. Covering sliding doors (or leaky windows) with Hunter Douglas cellular shades is an excellent way to temper the climate in your home.

Cellular shades are among the most energy-efficient window treatments available on the market. Their innovative cellular design traps inside and outside air at the window within their hidden honeycomb pockets, keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Not only will our cellular shades make your interior more comfortable, but they will also add a subtle textured aesthetic to your interior design motif, adding control options and a variety of opacities from a soft glow of light to room-darkening opacities.

Shutters are the Best French Door Window Treatments

French doors add character and charm to your home. So why not elevate their sophistication by adorning them with shutters? Shutters will add a layer of aesthetic depth to your French door and protect your home from harsh UV rays that can leak in through the many glass panels of traditional French doors.

We are proud to carry vinyl, composite, and durable hardwood shutters. We suggest vinyl and composite shutters for rooms where moisture and humidity are an issue, and wood is perfect for more formal rooms, such as your living, dining, or bedroom. You can also select from various slat widths and a host of colors and stains to create the ideal look for your home.

Vertical Blinds for Your Sidelight Window Treatments

Sidelight windows are the panels of glass that surround the most important door of your home, your front entrance. Sidelights expand the size of the door and add a vertical rise, giving your foyer a sense of aesthetic height and privacy.

Vertical blinds are an excellent sidelight covering that will complement the upward look of your sidelights. One of our favorite vertical blinds is Somner® Vertical Blinds. We offer them in a wide selection of materials, colors, and textures so you are certain to find one that matches your current interior design style.

Whether you live in a coastal cottage, a Southern Victorian, or a modern Georgian home, wooden window shutters can add distinction, charm, and elegance to any window setting. These beautiful window treatments come in a wide array of styles, colors, and designs, but one of the biggest choices that can make a huge difference in the look and performance of these shutters is whether or not they are stained or painted.
