Blinds are a necessity to control your homes privacy. But having blinds on your doors is not appealing. The blinds fly everywhere while you open and shut your door.

Plus, it’s super easy to install and can be completed in less than an hour.

Simply cut an opening and slide in a piece of door glass, or pop out the existing outdated glass and slide in a fresh new design. The new look will do wonders for your entryway. The best part?
