If you have a patio door in your home, you may wonder whether to accessorise with curtains. 

The answer is yes! 

A patio door is a large section of your space, and if it isn’t dressed properly, your room can often feel bare and unfinished. It is essential to choose curtains for patio doors for a variety of reasons, including:

Privacy

One of the most important reasons to have curtains for your patio door is privacy. While patio doors are usually on the back of your house, if you have any neighbours overlooking your garden, they could easily see inside, especially at night. 

When your lights are on at night, people can see directly into your room,  but you can’t see much when you look out! Without curtains, you’ll never really be able to see if somebody is looking in, so curtains for patio doors are an absolute must.

Made to measure curtains are an excellent option for curtains for patio doors, allowing you to customise your window dressing for both style and privacy.

Light Control

Curtains for patio doors can also help you control the amount of light that enters your home through your patio door, and with such a large window space in your room, the light can stream in.

Curtains for patio doors provide a way to block out light when needed, but they can also be opened to let in natural light when you want it. Curtains for patio doors don’t have to be dark and heavy. Instead, you can opt for a pair that will allow you to play around with the light, keeping your space light and airy while allowing light control to suit the mood.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is the phrase on everybody’s lips right now, and curtains for patio doors can certainly boost energy efficiency within your home. 

During the summer months, your home will heat up, whilst, in the winter, cold air will manage to find a way in through the cracks in your patio door. With such a large space allowing for this, it makes sense to have curtains for patio doors that will help to insulate your room.

Style

Of course, curtains for patio doors don’t always have to be about practicality; they can also add a touch of style to your home. The beauty of curtains for patio doors is that you can completely customise your made-to-measure curtains to suit your taste, creating a window dressing that is truly beautiful and an eye-catching focal point within your room.
