French Door Window Treatment: Modern Designs


There are so many window treatments on the market that it can be really confusing. But one unique window shape that is really difficult to dress up is French Windows. French door window treatment designs are not only difficult to do but take a long time to finish. They usually allow access to another room, a patio, a balcony or an outside area and have to be kept free of any encumbrances that will block the window. You can try French door window treatment designs as mentioned below to liven up the room-

    1. Thin sheer curtains work really well to revamp your windows. French door window treatment with sheer curtains ensures that the window is free of drapery that will block the hinges, and allow free entry of air and light.

    2. Glass frosting kits are great for creating effects on the windows. You can use commercial glass frosting kits that are available on the internet or craft stores that are made expressly for this purpose. You may have to dismantle the window and lay it down though before you actually start with the French door window treatment.

    3. Tweak the doorknobs of the French windows to create an instant makeover. Try to search the local thrift stores to find one of a kind handles and door knobs. It does not matter if you find mismatched door knobs; if you use them cleverly then the mismatched pattern looks kitschy and chic.

    4. Another French door window treatment that almost everyone likes is using curtains and drapes. Remember that French windows are made to let in light and air. As a result, choose custom valances, blinds, hardware and contemporary designs that work well in any setting.

    5. Another really pretty design is the use of decorative swing-arm rods also called as portieres. These are commonly used to attach effects in the window corners. Portieres measure only about 18" in length and are just right for creating window effects. You can choose sheer floating, soft effect with colored sheers or other lightweight panels along with holdbacks or other tiebacks in the corners. Then whenever you need to open the door, just swing the one treatment out of the way.

Please remember that hardware and modern patterns may be cheaper but they might not last as long. Try to choose hardware and styles that will last for a long time over cheap patterns
