Door Panel Curtains

Door panel curtains offer privacy while still letting in light and can easily be coordinated with the rest of your decor and even matched to your window curtains. Also called a "door window curtain" or "door window treatment", door panel curtains typically come in thirty to seventy-two inch lengths and have two rod pockets - one on top and one on the bottom.

Panels can be used on single or french doors and even on on side lite windows. Window toppers can accent your curtains and come in a wide variety of solid and sheer fabrics with plaid, floral, and country prints. Your panel curtain can either be ordered off the shelf or from one of the many custom mode to order designers around the internet.

Another option if you can't find the design or print you're looking for is to make your own curtains and, if you use discount material, the entire process will cost only a few dollars. Making French door panel curtains can be challenging but, to start, remember that they look best covered in lightweight or even sheer fabric. For longer lengths you can even use sheets or tablecloths providing the fabric is light enough so that the tops and bottoms will gather tightly. Rods for door panels are inexpensive and can be found at your local home improvement store.

No matter how you come by them, door panel curtains offer an inexpensive way to change the mood and character of any room in your house. Sheer fabrics like organza or lace add a light airy refreshing feel to your living or dining room while heavy more opaque fabrics like velvet, satin, or the ever popular cotton add an air of elegance and class. Plain solid colors are a safe and understated way to complement the rest of your home's colors or you can be more daring with more decorative prints. And, if you're looking to be really daring, try a tropical, psychadelic, or ethnic print!
