Find the best door blinds for your living space with our helpful guide. We’ll take you through everything you need to know about buying for french doors, patio doors, and interior doors. Plus, we’ll share the top picks from our made-to-measure blinds for each style.
Best Blinds for French Doors and Bifold Doors
With french doors or bifold doors, it can often feel like your options are limited as you need to make sure you can still slide or fold out each door comfortably. The great news is that with Perfect Fit blinds you can shade each pane independently and keep that all-important movement. They’re easy to install with no drilling required, so you can quickly update your living spaces with a fresh new look.
If you’re looking for a simple, more traditional alternative for your sliding glass doors or bifold doors then roller blinds are also a great option. These can be rolled up far enough that you can open folding or sliding doors and step outside. They can also be matched with your window treatments for a seamless look.
Here are some of our favourite bifold door blinds and french door blinds.

Best Blinds for Patio Doors
Like french doors and bifold doors, perfect Fit blinds are also a great option for patio doors. As they fit directly into the frame of the door you don’t need to worry about closing them to one side before you can open your door. This makes it quicker for you to hop outside and enjoy the sun in your garden. You can also use these blinds on a conservatory to create a unified look across your living space.
If your garden is overlooked and you’re after some much-needed privacy for your back doors, Day and Night blinds could be the ideal alternative to voile. These blinds feature an innovative design that combines light flow and privacy, with the ability to easily switch between the two. These can be fitted above your patio doors and rolled up to provide easy access. Patio door blinds are a great alternative to heavy curtains or drapes, and can create a unified look across your home with matching window shades.

Best Blinds for Interior Doors
Having interior doors filled with glass can really make your home feel bright and inviting. Sometimes, though, you’ll want to block out some of that natural light — whether that’s to get cosy and watch a film or seek out privacy in your home office.
Interior door blinds are the perfect way to add privacy and reduce the light streaming in through a door acting as a room divider. Whether you opt for a simple yet smart easy to fit perfect fit roller blind or a perfect-fit wooden venetian blind, there are plenty of options to match your interior style. Unless you don't need to open your blind, opt for horizontal rather than fabric or vertical blinds. Interior door blinds also work well for front doors where there's a lack of privacy, or where the sun streams in too much.
One of the biggest considerations when buying interior door blinds is how easy it’ll be to use the door handle. To avoid problems, look for a blind that’s fitted close to the door. And if you’re worried about the noise of blinds moving as you open and close doors, don’t panic — hold down brackets can be installed to keep them in place.
