HOME DECOR – What type of blinds/window treatment should I use for the window in my front door?

Question by J A: HOME DECOR – What type of blinds/window treatment should I use for the window in my front door?
I have an exterior (front) door with some glazing/a window in it, approx 24″ x 36″ in size. For privacy/security reasons I need to cover over this window at night. I haven’t yet been able to find anything suitable – light enough, easy enough to open, easy to install on the door. Does anyone make blinds or covers specifically for this purpose? Or has anyone come up with a DIY solution?

Answer by Elspeth
I’ve seen some blinds advertised for doors that are encased in two panes of glass. They don’t need dusting. They can be pulled up to enjoy the view or lowered to provide privacy. I’m not sure what company makes them, but I think I saw it on HGTV.

A DIY solution: You could hang drapes across the top of the door with tie backs that could be drawn at night. Sorta like a victorian parlor treatment.

Hope that helps.
