You’re bound to be well-versed in the ways and means over covering windows. Curtains, shutters, roller blinds, vertical blinds, you name it. The possibilities are almost endless when it comes to shutting out the light for a peaceful night's sleep and some privacy. But what about doors? Can roller blinds be fitted to a door, for example?
Natural light is an incredibly important part of any home. It empowers us to live comfortably indoors without feeling like we’re shut up in a cave! But, when it's time for a nap or a much-need sleep in on Saturday morning, that natural light can be a little pesky 🛌🪟 Beautiful French doors and panoramic sliding doors may be great for soaking up the view, but they make naptime a little bit more difficult. Therefore, let’s find out whether roller blinds can be fitted to a door, and how you can achieve the serenity you’re seeking.
What’s the Problem?
Usually, French doors and sliding doors are difficult to cover because they are much bigger than the average window. Store-bought blinds and curtains usually aren’t very big, so if you have wall-to-wall patio doors that frame a panoramic view, you might struggle to find blinds that cover them completely.
Furthermore, some blinds restrict the accessibility of your doors. You might not be able to roll them up entirely or move them completely out the way. Restricted access like this can be dangerous because you might have an accident when trying to move around, or risk damaging your new blinds 😫
The good news is that you can try custom roller blinds as a unique solution to your problem! Roller blinds can be fitted to a door or doors to block out the sunlight when you want to, and let it in when you need it most.
