Blinds for French Doors

Expertly Made, Professionally Installed – Without the Wait!

French doors are a classic feature in many Australian homes, known for bringing in light and connecting indoor and outdoor living spaces. While they add style and openness, their swing motion and full-length glass panels require carefully selected blinds that won’t block access or damage the frame.

The right blinds for French doors must allow the doors to function freely while still providing light control, privacy, and a clean finish. Whether you’re after minimal design or a soft flowing look, there’s a solution that balances both form and function.

Check out our Blinds by Room guide and Blinds by Window guide for expert advice on choosing the perfect window coverings for every space and window style in your home.

Roller Blinds for French Doors

Roller blinds are a simple and versatile choice for French doors. Fitted snugly onto each door panel, they offer a clean, modern look while allowing the doors to open and close freely. The slim brackets and low profile make them ideal for tight spaces.

Available in blockout, sunscreen, or light-filtering fabrics, roller blinds provide flexible light control for any room. Add double rollers to switch between day and night settings, or go motorised for added convenience in high-use areas.

Vertical Blinds for French Doors

Vertical blinds are a practical solution for covering French doors, especially when installed over the entire doorway. Their rotating slats allow for precise control over light and privacy, and they stack neatly to one side when the doors need to be opened.

They’re ideal for larger openings or where you want a cost-effective, low-maintenance option. Choose from durable fabrics in neutral tones or textured finishes to suit your interior style.

Panel Blinds for French Doors

Panel glide blinds are perfect for wider French door openings, delivering a sleek, contemporary look. The wide fabric panels slide smoothly on tracks, making them a stylish and functional alternative to curtains or verticals.

When open, they stack off to the side without interfering with the door function. When closed, they provide excellent coverage and can be tailored in blockout or light-filtering fabrics to suit your space.

Plantation Shutters for French Doors

Plantation shutters bring timeless appeal and practical benefits to French doors. Custom-built to fit around handles and hinges, they allow full door access while adding insulation, light control, and visual impact.

Choose from PVC, timber, or aluminium plantation shutters depending on your room’s moisture levels and style. Shutters offer exceptional durability and can be designed with a mid-rail or cut-outs to accommodate the door’s design.

Veri Shades for French Doors

Veri Shades offer a soft, flowing alternative to traditional blinds or curtains. Ideal for French doors, they allow easy walk-through access while switching between sheer and opaque with a simple twist.

They’re child-safe, low-maintenance, and bring a relaxed yet modern look to living areas or bedrooms. Their flexible design makes them perfect for doorways that get frequent daily use.

Roman Blinds for French Doors

Roman blinds add warmth and texture to French door areas, especially in bedrooms or formal spaces. Installed over the full door opening or as individual panels, they offer excellent light control and a soft, decorative finish.

When raised, Roman blinds fold neatly above the glass, leaving the door fully exposed. When lowered, they provide privacy and insulation without feeling bulky or intrusive.

Venetian Blinds for French Doors

Venetian blinds are a great choice for French doors where adjustable slats are preferred. They can be fitted to each door panel, offering flexible light control and a classic or modern look depending on your chosen material.

Available in timber, faux-wood, or aluminium, Venetians are durable and easy to clean, making them ideal for kitchens, offices, or high-use areas with French doors.

Curtains for French Doors

Curtains are a timeless solution for French doors, adding softness and flow to any space. With a properly mounted track above the door frame, they can open wide to reveal the doors fully, or be layered for privacy and insulation.

Use sheer curtains for a light, breezy effect, or add blackout lining to improve energy efficiency and light control. Curtains are especially suited to bedrooms, living rooms, or heritage-style interiors.

Electric Blinds for French Doors

Electric blinds offer unmatched convenience for French doors, especially where daily access or frequent adjustments are needed. With remote or app control, you can raise, lower, or tilt your blinds without touching them.

Available in roller, Roman, or cellular styles, motorised blinds are safe for children, smooth to operate, and perfect for hard-to-reach or high-traffic areas.

Smart Blinds for French Doors

Smart blinds integrate with your home automation system for seamless scheduling and control. Ideal for French doors in modern homes, they adjust automatically based on light levels, temperature, or set routines.

Smart systems can link multiple blinds, provide voice control via Google or Alexa, and help improve energy efficiency by managing sun exposure during the day.

Summary

French doors bring style and openness to a space, but choosing the right blinds is key to keeping them practical and beautiful.
