We have these floor to ceiling back doors in our living room which are quite hard to hang a pole across as so close to the ceiling. This is a through lounge in typical victorian semi, front window is bay and we'll eventually have white shutters in the front. Can anyone suggest what to put over these doors in the form of blinds/shutters/curtains (if you think it's possible)?

Help with curtains/blinds for an apex window
Comments (14)I have no idea if they are duette or not. It's so long ago now that I can't remember what they are called but they are a pleated blind. Mine aren't black out as it's a sunroom but I'm sure you could get a black out option if needed. I have attached some more photos so you can see what they look like open. As others have said it might be worth shopping around. It's a long time since we got ours so there could well be more companies doing a similar product now....See MoreGlass kitchen back door a curtains/blind etc?

Comments (2)Good news is that I've chosen some curtains - a neutral pleated set, with a black out lining, from John Lewis that go with the wallpaper background without being sparkly...! On the off-chance that someone has experience with fitting curtains on awkward walls, can anyone recommend what sort of curtain rail / tracking to use for this window? I.e. a couple of inches of wall space to the left, and zero to the right of the window... Thanks!...See MoreCurtain/blind help needed
Comments (3)I’m not sure why but I do have a love of sun and shadows and so for window coverings I will always bear that in mind if the room faces south or west. And if it does I like blinds that give shadows such as Venetian, new double roller blinds with sheer panels , shutters and I’d even consider vertical in the right situation. It also depends on what time of day and what purpose you use the room for though. And if you’re overlooked, especially at night. I once had a west facing living room with mid “golden” coloured wood venetians and in that particular room the afternoon evening sun gave a magical effect. I’m not suggesting you go for that , just that you think about the light??...See More

8 years agoI've been thinking about different ways i could dress my sliding doors, and i'm thinking it might be nice to go for something quite interesting rather than purely practical. So you could get some hooks or door knobs/handles or something similar that you could screw in either side, and tie a nice thick rope going across. Then you could slot through a sheer or soft style curtain and tie up with some pretty ribbon. I couldn't quite find a photo to illustrate but this is sort of similar. Hope this helps!

8 years agoHi there,
Shutters are definitely doable if you'd like a really coordinated look - and they always look beautiful. However, there is a blinds system called Perfect Fit which is absolutely fantastic for patio doors like yours. There's a frame that simply clips into the uPVC frames which means there's no need for drilling, and within this you can have a choice of Venetian, Pleated or Roller blinds.
Here's a picture of the kind of thing - they're so neat!
