If you do rods and drapes, you will not be able to open the doors without hitting the drapes as you don't have enough space on either side to stack the drapes beyond the hinges.

I would leave the doors white. The only kind of curtains you could do is put a small rod at the top and bottom of each half of the door and put sheer curtains on the rods, but to me the blinds have the most versatility and the white blinds look minimal and appropriate. I think beautiful area rugs would look very nice to give some warmth and color to this area, as would paintings on the walls.

Love the doors and I'd leave them white. Consider covering with shutters. As Ingrid said, art work and a rug, will warm the room.

If the doors were painted black ....

Note: beach sign + red leather sectional are going away ... waiting on new sofas to arrive, large area rug, artwork, decorative accessories and large chandelier/pendant to replace current ceiling fan.

After seeing the French doors in black, to me more than ever white looks better, especially because of the windows above, which tie in with the French doors. I'm afraid they would look oddly disjointed if one were black and the other white. What a beautiful room, by the way. I hope you'll allow us to see the completed room when your furniture and accessories are in place.

Ugh, to black doors. You would have to paint the French door muntins, the door trim, all of the fireplace trim black, and possibly the upper window trim and all the baseboards just to match the TV and firebox. Please do not get pulled into the latest trend in your beautiful home. The white shutters look to be a nice solution.

I like the white doors, not black. I'd probably do shutters on them if you need something. Not drapes. As mentioned it would be awkward going in and out.

I like the black doors in the room kiko posted, but not in yours. It looks odd with the white muntins and upper windows left white. If they were without muntins, it might be okay, but not with.

The Lauren Liess room has doors like I have, not TRUE french doors as one does not open. The false door leaves room for a curtain stack, but you don't have that. From the look of the hardware anyway. I vote for leaving them white. If you have to have coverings I would vote for something that stays tight to the doors when opening and shutting. Windows beg for dressing up, doors not so much IMHO.

That is an awkward placement for French doors that open inward. It appears that any of the four doors sticks out into the room as there is no wall for them to swing back flush to (bookcase on the far right is in the way). Do they get left open for ventilation? Which door and what side is usually opened? The answer to that affects what kind of treatments to use.

If only one door is usually opened and it's the inner door, it does look like there is room for drapes to stack back into the outside corners. There may not be enough room to swing a door back open with drapes there though. Do you need privacy?

With all of the other white trim on that wall, I would not paint the doors black unless you want them to be the focal point. Is the beach out those doors? Then maybe go black (and share your address!!)

The professionally decorated room looks nice with black, but it's the clever and appropriate decor that makes it work. Still, the effect is not so great that I would take the trouble to do it, and in your situation you may regret it. The light-colored drapes also help somewhat to soften the black color. Notice also that the walls are white, while yours are not, which would dilute the effect of the black.
