Window treatment help! French door & large window
Hello! Need advice for 2 things....
1. Window treatments for french door & front window. I'm leaning toward a shade for french door bc the sun is blaring in my yard in the summer. Woven wood attached to the top? Want simple & low maintenace
Also need for the big front casement windows. I have the PB cast iron rod so was thinking .a neutral drape but i need a shade bc its close to street so have to have privacy. Would woven wood be too much brown or do i go with cellular or something else? light, dark color?
2. The space on each side of french door needs something. I have very little space to put art, photo frames etc so was thinking narrow tiered shelves ? Do i have to match each side?
Wall are edgecomb gray.
Thank you for any help you can provide :)

last monthThank you!! i have these 2 samples from Curtarra curtains for front window. The right one (called Harris beige gray) is what you'd recommend or lighter? My other issue is the room height is 94" so i need custom drapes bc 84 is too small & 96 too big. Or is it worth it to buy 96 & have them hemmed? or try another custom site?
The 2nd pic is the room on the other side that has neutral cellular shade. Think i should just match it & do the neutral curtain? i think that would prob look best :)
Last pic is sample of Bali woven shade in Birdseed . Is that the right color to use on french door or go lighter so it blends more? https://www.lowes.com/pd/Bali-Avonlea-Birdseed-Light-Filtering-Reed-Roman-Swatch/5014449931

Comments (2)Hey There: We got you covered - literally. With bottom up top down operating pleated blinds, you will achieve light, privacy and looks. The blinds get installed directly to the door panels and travel with it - so no need to operate the blinds when you want to open the door. These minimalistic blinds easily pass behind the handles and don't interfere with it.

Comments (2)I think your blinds look excellent. I love curtain panels but I don't see the clearance space around the doors and windows for a rod and properly sized panels. Perhaps you could consider some more lamps for the space. I see that you are using the overhead light which should really be a light of the last resort....See MoreHelp with window treatment ideas for sliding door & half moon window
Comments (7)Looking at your setup from that second angle suggests you’d have proper clearance on the left but now I wonder about the right side The space on the right is limited by the protruding fireplace “trim” (the mini “hood” above the fireplace opening and the detail below the opening). To see what might work you could purchase a 96” or 104” drapery panel, (whatever appropriate length) hold it up at height rod would be, and see if it hangs ok. Does it look squished, left to right by the fireplace? Does it hang freely? A heavier fabric panel will take up more soace, especially if it’s lined. Maybe a cotton canvas but no lining, or a blackout panel would fit. To help you decide about adequate space, consider the function of the slider. Do you open it a lot? Is that outdoor space a spot you use all the time, or does the door stay primarily closed and youre not going theough that door much. The right panel could hang partially over the door handle (door seldom opened) or it could hang so it fuly clears the door handle (use door all the time). Alternatively, you could mount a shade over the arched window that is long enogh to cover the sliders when shade is let down. (Prob requires a custom made at this length). Whether a shade or drapery, the slider door handle and limited width and height of space will inform your decision as Im sure you already know. Either woud work, but neither are ”perfect”. But perfect is seldom needed. The pros have great advice; maybe they‘ll weigh in...See MoreRelated Professionals

PROlast monthlast modified: last monthFor your door you use bottom-up top-down honeycomb shades that install as outside mount or inside mount to your door. Make sure it is mounted on all 4 corners, so it does not dangle around while opening the door or with wind. For your windows you use three individual inside mount bottom-up top-down shades. Keep the design integrity of the window and maximize light and privacy.
