Windows on the side of your front door
I have 2 windows next to my front door (they are about 8 x 36 - so not to the floor.) I think they are called sidelights. Anyway what do you cover them with? I tried searching for curtains, but I can't find any.
ETA my door doesn't have a window.

Re: Windows on the side of your front door
What's your primary intention? If it's privacy, I would go for window film. You can get a frosted film from HD that lets almost all of the light through, but nobody can see through. I did that to my front doors. If it's decorative, they have plenty of sidelight curtains available.
Here's just one example, but just google "sidelight curtains" and you'll find tons of options.

Thanks. I love the curtains, but the only one's I can find are to the floor. Mine aren't that big.

We have the half side-lights on each side of our door. We live in a high ranch though, so when you "see" in, you are only seeing the stairs. The glass has some weird design that distorts everything anyway, so we actually have nothing on them.

you could try to buy etched glass decals. They are just stickers that look like etched glass and then you can't see in the window. My Mom has them and it looks great!

The site I gave a link to does custom sizes, and it's the same price. I did a test one, just to see, and an 8"x 34" curtain (custom size) is still $29. Their site says { NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE for "Custom Sizes" }
