Vertical blinds have long been the go-to solution for large windows and sliding glass doors. But, with modern design trends and innovations in window treatments, homeowners now have more stylish, functional options than ever before. If you’re going to take down vertical blinds for a fresh look, read this first because we’ve got key insights to help you make the best choice.
Before You Go Bare
Tempted to take the blinds down to enjoy that stunning view? It’s understandable. Those wide glass doors often frame beautiful outdoor scenery. But before you strip your windows bare, consider what could be waiting for you: intense glare, UV damage, overheating, and no privacy. Bare windows can lead to challenges inside your home.

If you’re serious about saying goodbye to vertical blinds, make sure you have a plan. The good news? We’re here to help. Our design specialists offer free in-home consultations to explore sliding door window treatment options tailored to your space and lifestyle. From measurements to expert recommendations, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
Love the View? Try Sheers.
If your priority is preserving the view, sheer fabrics could be your new favorite solution. Luminette® Privacy Sheers, for example, blend the elegance of drapery with light control and privacy. They glide smoothly across specialty tracks, offering flexibility to filter or block light all while maintaining that connection to the outdoors.
Want a Modern Look?
A major reason people ditch verticals is to update their home’s aesthetic. While traditional vertical blinds are still functional and stylish for many spaces, there are modern alternatives that offer more flair.
Consider Skyline® Panel Track Blinds. They are available in wider panel widths of 11″ and 17″ with a variety of textures and colors. Choose manual or motorized operation, and even coordinate them with Designer Roller Shades for a cohesive look throughout your home.
Protect Your Interiors
Leaving your windows uncovered can lead to fading furniture, higher energy bills, and uncomfortable indoor temperatures. If sun exposure is a concern, vertical honeycomb shades are a smart solution. These insulating shades help regulate indoor temperatures, block harmful rays, and offer smooth, sliding functionality in both manual and motorized options.
Make It Yours
One common complaint about vertical blinds? They just don’t feel like “you.” If you want to reflect your style, custom drapery might be the answer. Choose colors, textures, and patterns that complement your home’s design and express your personality. It’s an elegant way to make a space feel truly yours.
Add a Timeless Touch
Prefer a more classic style? Plantation shutters offer both elegance and durability. Their bypass design makes them a natural fit for sliding doors.
They’re available in bi-fold panels for versatile access. It’s a timeless option that blends form with function.
