French doors can be tricky to dress. Such an expanse of glass which, although beautiful and essential when trying to bring a little bit of nature into your home, can at times feel cold and under dressed.
French door shutters can be an inspired idea as a way of letting light flood into the room, yet they finish off what can look to be quite bare windows. French doors are great, they are functional and an integral part of many homes, letting light in, providing access to other areas of property as well as many other uses. Shutters for these doors hang right down and cover the French door glass to give fantastic privacy as well as giving that final finishing touch to the home.
Many other French door coverings are just too restrictive; for instance curtains just obscure the view to the outside. Simply dressing the windows with out-dated, puffy valances reminiscent of prom dresses from the 80’s really are not the solution for many customers with a keen eye for design. Curtains and valances tend to date quickly, they can gather dust and if you alter the room, the fabric would need to be changed which can be an expensive thing to do year in and year out.
Door shutters, offering floor to ceiling coverage where the view to the outside can be seen or closed off with just the tilt of a few slats are a fab idea. Shutters for doors offer decorative yet stylish contemporary coverage for your windows. They are fully functional; the panels can be pulled open to gain access to the outside or the slats can be tilted fully open to let light flood in. Or the slats can be closed to keep the light out of the room, creating a snug and cosy atmosphere inside.
French door shutters help to create a focal point, and they solve problems that many other window coverings simply do not even begin to tackle. They look contemporary and fit in with any décor. Whether you want to transform your room with an eye catching shutter design, or to make it fit in seamlessly with your existing décor, the Kelly Hoppen range of designer shutters definitely have something for your French Doors.
