The Best Vertical Blinds for Sliding Glass Doors
Vertical blinds have seen many changes over the years, starting with simple treatments to cover large windows and evolving into a wide range of styles. Modern versions are sophisticated and streamlined, offering elegant, practical solutions for covering sliding glass doors. Their innovative designs allow easy operation and provide excellent light control and privacy. With all of these innovations come lots of choices; materials, colors, and functionality are essential options to consider when selecting vertical blinds for your home’s sliding glass doors.
Sliding Glass Door Blinds: Materials and Motorization
Several vital considerations are involved when selecting vertical blinds for sliding glass doors, starting with the material used to construct them. While fabric vertical blinds offer a softer look and are available in various colors and textures, vinyl blinds are more durable and easier to clean, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
Another important consideration is the mechanism for operating the blinds. Some vertical blinds come with a cordless or motorized option, providing added convenience and safety, especially for households with children or pets.
Design Tips for Vertical Blinds on Sliding Glass Doors
These design tips can help you achieve the perfect look for sliding glass door blinds:
- Coordinate with Your Decor: Select blinds that complement your room's colors and style. Consider matching the blinds to your furniture or wall paint for a cohesive look, or choose a contrasting color to make a bold statement.
- Consider Light Control: If your sliding glass doors receive a lot of sunlight, blinds with light-filtering or room-darkening capabilities will reduce glare and protect your furniture from UV damage. That is especially important for rooms with valuable artwork or furnishings.
- Choose the Right Mounting Option: Depending on the configuration of your sliding glass doors, you can choose between an inside or outside mount for your vertical blinds. An inside mount provides a sleek, seamless look, while an outside mount offers better coverage and light control.
- Accessorize with Valances or Cornices: To add a finishing touch to your vertical blinds, consider adding a valance or cornice above the door. This will hide the blinds' headrail and enhance the space's design aesthetic.
