One of the best ways to up the design appeal of a door is to upgrade its window treatments. The Beginning to End Interiors design team loves helping clients with these projects, and we feature custom Hunter Douglas products. There are many ways to design door window treatments, but two of our top choices are plantation shutters and horizontal blinds.

These two choices work well on doors with limited clearance. Unlike curtains or drapes, blinds don't impede movement or get caught in the door. You can pair both with matching window treatments like valances for a rich, textured look.

Hunter Douglas Horizontal Blinds for Doors

Horizontal blinds for doors offer an excellent balance between privacy and light control. They're mounted on brackets and manufactured with horizontal slats that you adjust to allow varying levels of sunlight into the room. Whether your door leads to the backyard, patio, or balcony, horizontal blinds offer a sleek, modern solution.

These window coverings for doors are versatile, too. They're available in materials like wood, faux wood, aluminum, and vinyl, with styles to suit every taste. We customize them with an impressive selection of color finishes and slat sizes to match your existing interior design scheme.

Hunter Douglas horizontal blinds are relatively low-maintenance, requiring only occasional dusting or wiping to keep them in good shape. As importantly, their durability and ease of operation make them an ideal choice for high-traffic areas such as entry doors.

You can choose from these styles:

• Parkland® Wood Blinds feature natural wood and are available in over 50 colors
• EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds resemble natural wood but resist fading, warping, or bowing
• Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds are available in over 70 colors and have a sleek, minimalistic appeal

 Add Elegance with Plantation Shutters on Doors

Plantation shutters are all about elegance and sophistication. These classic, upscale window treatments feature adjustable louvers mounted within a solid frame instead of onto brackets. When installed on doors, they have a more permanent feel, adding architectural interest and a clean, uncluttered look.

Plantation shutters let you adjust the louvers to your desired angle and are renowned for their durability and longevity. Crafted from high-quality materials like hardwood, composite, or vinyl, these shutters withstand the test of time, making them a wise investment.

Hunter Douglas offers them in those three materials:

• Heritance® Hardwood Shutters use natural hardwood, with over 20 color choices
• NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters come in 8 colors and look like genuine wood
• Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters stand up to UV rays and moisture

Plantation shutters and horizontal blinds are both well-suited for doors. Whether you prioritize elegance, versatility, or practicality, our experienced designers will guide you in the right direction.
