Choosing Window Treatments For French Doors
French doors are iconic architectural elements that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living spaces. Their distinctive design, characterised by tall, narrow panes of glass within a wooden or metal frame, has captivated homeowners for centuries. French doors are renowned for their ability to flood a room with natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere. They can be used as both interior and exterior doors, offering flexibility in design.
