Looks like you may need something for privacy too, so I'd go for something like this for the patio doors/windows...

The photo below could be an option for your window. If you need privacy, an inside mounted roller blind in a transparent fabric and an outside (close to the ceiling) mounted Roman blind in a pretty fabric.

Another option for the window would be inside mounted Venetian blinds. That will give you the option to let light in while keeping your privacy and closing them completely at night.

Hello, It is definitely not an easy task to dress such a unusual shape but this is exactly why your window brings such a charm to your room! I would suggest to make the shape for your curtain as in image number 1 attached. However, a thin white fabric would not be up to the the charisma of you bold window so I would use a linen, gray or beige (image 2), with a little touch of color on the bottom (image 3) - color that could be nicely re-used somewhere in the room on a painting or on some cushions somewhere... Image 4 is just for your ref. but I would not recommend to follow the slope of the window, I think it would damage the architectural lines of your space... Bit too heavy and might end pompous... Hope you'll be inspired ^_^ Cheers!

Lovely colour and floor. I would use the alcove round the window like a box bay and fit a rail all the way round so that floor length curtains can pull back right into the side walls of the alcove when not in use. I would go floor length because those doors/window combinations tend to be a bit draughty.

Hi, It is a tricky one :( Do you want curtains? If so, a small track rail (like what is there at the moment) it probably best as it is slim and allow curtains to be out of the way of the door hinges when open. Otherwise, for a more minimalist look, you could get « clip on » blinds. We have those on our French doors in our kitchen, it is almost invisible when open. https://www.blinds-2go.co.uk/door-blinds.htm?gclid=Cj0KCQiAhs79BRD0ARIsAC6XpaWjTxzY6Frs4xeaahLdPDMVQJaGj9mF0zWzptqtoAKRrZEZvZS2DIoaAsJlEALw_wcB

I’m about to try a combination of blinds + plain linen/cotton curtains:- Blinds I’m thinking of:- https://www.blinds-2go.co.uk/perfect-fit?gclid=CjwKCAjwgZuDBhBTEiwAXNofRJCF8jxzDuhCCSz5teZI4vfpdBZHpr04BU9Zvs8_GEL2YrH4vMO6ExoC_-8QAvD_BwE I’d never seen these type before but they definitely look to be the most practical solution for a patio door and the top // bottom opening system means you’ve got great control over the amount of direct light that’s left through. Curtains / Voile:- I’ve seen a few offerings, surprisingly Zara Home stood out the most and have a good range that should offer something for everyone, I’m most impressed by the range of textures they have on offer, the waffle-knit really caught my eye as something a little different https://www.zarahome.com/gb/living-room/curtains-c1020264598.html Dunelm also offer a few options that offer a more light-and-airy feel:- I had also seen something a little heavier in the Next range, bonus is they are a soft velour so it’s a way to introduce another texture into the space and I do feel it also gives a little bit of a luxurious vibe (you can always get a double curtain rail and layer these and the voile, although that with blinds might be starting to over do it). I also wouldn’t rule out IKEA, I think a lot of people only think furniture when they think IKEA but I’ve always found their range of textiles and soft furnishings a good budget offering that although not in the same quality tier as stuff you might find in the likes of John Lewis or some of the previously mentioned retailers they are still a solid choice and worth a look.

Voile blinds will let a lot of light in and aid privacy
Wooden tape blinds look like shutters from the outside and are quite trendy. Also the weight of them means that you don't particularly need to worry about the blinds flapping when opening and closing doors.
You can have the blinds and tapes in a multitude of colours. We have them on our spa

Also, If allowable, for better privacy as the patio doors open on to a car park, maybe some sort of screen ie a Glass Ballustrade for outside. That way you can open the doors and not bee seen.
