What type of french door window treatment would look good in a room that has white window shutters?
Question by Curious Me: What type of french door window treatment would look good in a room that has white window shutters?
My family room has white window shutters. My dilemma is what type of window treatment to install for my french doors which are in the same room. I don’t want to use something that will clash with the white shutters.

Why would you want to put “window treatments” (curtains?) on a French door? The purpose of a French door is to let light pass through so I don’t understand why you would want to block that or clutter up the door with useless “decor.”. If you absolutely need something over the glass for privacy, the only thing I’ve ever seen that looked decent on French doors is top and bottom rod-shirred sheer or lace in ivory or white. Since your shutters are white, use white.

I saw some stunning lined voile curtains recently, they are white lined with a black flower, the pattern is not too over-powering and is light enough to let the light in
A Roman shade would be nice. Something like…

Try a different look by placing curtain rods on each side of the window panes instead of top and bottom. Use white sheers and gather them to mimic the shutters. Or if you want to add a touch of color use sheers in pastels or bolds. Three different ideas that are least expensive but can make a definite statement.
Shutters go on the outside of the house.
