Choose a covering for a plain or unsightly patio door based on your budget, the material the door is made from and the amount of poor weather the door will be exposed to. Does this Spark an idea?

Home Decorating Books

Home decorating books and magazines are prime sources of ideas for every part of your house, including the patio doors. Look for books that specifically deal with sunrooms, patios or terraces for a wealth of new ideas to apply right in your own backyard.
Model Homes

Spend a day or two visiting model or sample homes in new housing developments. Model homes are expertly decorated inside and out, and you can draw some ideas from the way that the patio doors are covered.

Gardening Magazines

Even though the primary focus is on gardening, many magazines catering to the green-thumb crowd have valuable outdoor decorating ideas. Leaf through a few garden- or patio-themed books or magazines and look at the way the homes and patio doors are decorated to get some new ideas for your own home.
