I would personally do a sheer vertical on the slider and a sheer shade on the other window. You can close the vanes on both products when you want more privacy.

Definitely get rid of the blinds. I would frame that slider with curtains that are hung closer to the ceiling to give the added effect of height. I think it's hard for windows or doors, to "pop", they are not usually the focal point pf the room.

There really isn't much space for curtains on the slider. Solar roller shades with a wood valance may work

Interesting question, I have a similar problem in a room with a sliding door and a large window. The verb she used was "flow", as in not a focal point, which is an important distinction, I think.

The poster above is probably right, think roller shades and natural materials in neutrals, along with a colorful rug to bring attention to your pretty wood floor.

Thank you for all of the feedback! I will definitely take all of these ideas into consideration! The only problem I see with framing the slider with curtains is how close the door is to my bedroom door, but yes, raising the curtains is definitely on my "to do" list! Our offer was accepted, so hopefully, if all goes well, it will be ours in a few weeks!

I found a similar discussion I'd saved, great ideas for sliding doors.

You can also do rollers shades that can match sliding panels on the slider. They have many textures and colors to choose from. You can always add a top treatment to add some color.
