Top tips for dressing your doors

A modern alternative to net curtains, Vertical blinds are ideal for wide expanses of glass as they provide fingertip control over privacy. They are designed with a wide range of colours and fabrics to choose from. Plus, they come in a huge range of performance finishes, from glare diffusing to blackout and waterproof.

The real beauty of Vertical blinds is that they’re perfect for sloping, shaped or sliding doors too. Each individual louvre can be cut to an exact shape and size, and they can be neatly pushed to one size to allow access to the door.

Curtains are a great choice for most door types, including traditional patio, French and metal-framed doors. Heat escapes from many homes via doors, so drawing curtains over these areas will help prevent any draughts.

The length of curtain that you need will depend on the size of the door or the effect that you want to create. For a neat and precise look, chose curtains that just graze the floor, or add lots of length for luxurious pooling if that’s more your style. If space above your door is limited, wave header curtains use a slimline track that can be fitted close to the ceiling and create modern-looking soft waves in the curtain fabric.
