What it is, and why it matters.
French doors swing, and that makes a treatment tricky: it must stay clear of the handle and move with the door. The classic solution is a light-filtering or cellular shade mounted on each door and held close to the glass with a small bottom bracket so it does not swing. Another option is a hinged shutter panel in the same style as plantation shutters.
We also consider whether you want a treatment that opens from the top, so daylight still comes in while the lower glass stays private. In Nashville dens, dining rooms and bedrooms that open to a patio, the right covering looks neat and does not fight with the handle or the swing. Measuring depth and hardware clearance is key.

French Door Coverings: common questions
Will blinds on French doors swing and bang the glass?
Not if we use hold-down brackets or mount them correctly. We secure the treatment so it stays steady when the door opens.
Can I have light and privacy on French doors?
Top-down shades and café-style shutters keep daylight coming in while the lower part stays private.
