If you have sliding glass doors....

If you have sliding glass doors....

What type of window treatment do you have with them. I have one leading out to our backyard and I Really want to have some type of curtain put on them, but I can't find anything with a width of 74 inches and two panels does not work either because one side of the doors is against the wall where you would open the door.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a double curtain rod with sheers and drapes that I pull to the side with holdbacks.

We didn't do any drapes. We bought vertical blinds, and like it a lot better since they are in our EIK!

Re: If you have sliding glass doors....

I am not a fan of the verticals so we took them off when we moved in. We just have a valance across our doors now, we did get a shade to use for privacy (although there is no one behind us, just freaks me out if I'm home alone!) and we rarely use it.

We just have a valance now but we don't have any neighbors in the back. If I do anything it would be panels hanging from a rod.

Same here. When I redo our kitchen I plan on doing panels with decorative tiebacks on either side. Maybe a cornice across the top...

I have 4 panels of pleated curtains/drapes hung on ring with clips on my doors. I didn't want verticals but wanted the doors to be useable.

Nothing on our sliders in the living room, although I really would like to put something up. For the bedroom sliders I have the vertical blinds which look ok in there.
