Ask Mr. Fix it

Your enclosed door blinds can be a stylish addition to your home. Although some people consider this hard to do, you can find blinds that add to the decor of your room. People disguise them under curtains or try to ignore the decorating problem they present.

Often blinds in condos and other rental units are chosen because they are inexpensive and can be easily replaced if damaged. Don’t let these blinds frighten you off from using them on your patio door. These enclosed blinds for doors fit between glass panels and have a control on the outside frame that opens, closes, and adjusts the blinds.

Many of the so called experts are divided on the subject of enclosed blinds. Believe it or not, blinds for a patio door give you a sleek, contemporary look with the same light control and privacy of regular blinds. Some patio blinds are covered with fabric or have embossed patterns, so it’s not difficult to find something with a custom look that matches your style.

Remember that vertical blinds with weights at the bottom will not swing or curl like cheaper versions. Your blinds will hang better on your door and look better with the added weight.

You may want to soften the look of patio door blinds by adding fabric window treatments. A great swag, scarf, or panel curtain can enhance the look of the blinds and your room. But you don’t have to stop there. Keep looking and you’ll find that extra something that can really enhance the look of your doors and the look of the rest of your house.
