Selecting Summer Patio Door Window Treatments
Decorating an enclosed patio for the summer is such a rewarding project! You can add colorful outdoor rugs, weather-resistant cushions, and a mix of potted plants. A small bistro table or a bar cart is helpful for entertaining, and string lights or lanterns can create a celebratory feel for evening gatherings.
If you want to take things up a notch with summer patio door window treatments, Nest Expressions is your resource in Wexford, PA. Our designers can help you select ones made for these types of doors to improve the style and performance of your home.
The Beauty of Custom Patio Door Shades
When selecting patio door shades, consider materials and colors that suit your décor and needs. Light-colored patio door shades reflect sunlight and help keep your home cooler, while darker tones provide better light control for when you need it most.
Duette® Cellular Shades work well on patio doors, providing insulation against heat and cold. You can customize them in vertical orientations, and these patio door shades come in over 150 fabric and color choices.
Sheer patio door shades soften the space's appearance while allowing natural light to filter, creating a bright, airy atmosphere. The design of Luminette® Sheer Panels combines sheers and blinds with luxurious fabrics, making your patio look elegant.
The Benefits of Patio Door Roller Shades
Patio door roller shades can easily roll up or down, allowing you to adjust the amount of privacy and natural light in your space. They’re also available in many materials, with fabric, solar screen, and blackout options. Fabric roller shades add a soft touch to patio doors, while solar screen shades block harmful UV rays and reduce glare without completely darkening the room.
Stylish Drapery Ideas for Sliding Patio Doors
Draperies are another option for dressing up enclosed patio doors. Light, airy fabrics create a relaxed, summery feel. Patterned drapes can introduce visual interest and coordinate with other elements in your room, while solid colors can blend in or add pops of color.
Consider using drapery panels on a decorative rod, or for a more modern look, opt for grommet-top or tab-top drapes, which are easy to open and close. You can keep the drapery tied back and use other window treatments on the door for light control and privacy. This layered look adds depth and texture as well as lots of visual interest to your sliding patio doors.
Tips for Choosing Patio Door Window Treatments
When selecting window treatments for your patio doors, consider the following:
- Accurate measurements are essential for a perfect fit on your patio doors. Carefully measure the height and width of your patio doors and look at any obstructions, like handles or locks.
- Think about how often you use your patio doors. Ease of use is essential, and motorized window treatments are a good option.
- While it is important to choose window treatments that enhance your décor, privacy and light control are also key considerations. Look for treatments that offer the right balance of style and functionality.
