Comments (4)We moved into a house with bifold doors and I didn't want to spend an absolute fortune on large bespoke curtains for them. So I found some beautiful ones on the high street that were the correct height, then bought two pairs. I found an extra long curtain rail online and whilst I was going to originally sew the pairs together to make two large curtains - one either side of the door, I actually left them separate. This way I can pull three of the four closed but leave one pulled back on the opening side door, making access easier. Hope that makes sense!...See MoreSunroom and sliding door blinds
Comments (3)Hi Jennifer, Great question - firstly, I don't think that two different types of blinds will necessarily look odd, but it's a case of carefully matching them. However, I'm not sure panel blinds will have the desired effect of controlling the heat in a south-facing room. You say you have looked at PerfectFit blinds - these types of blinds can be made with honeycomb Pleated fabrics which help to control temperature extremes. Our ThermaShade Pleated fabrics are just like this. Read a little bit more about them here http://www.hillarys.co.uk/blinds-range/pleated-blinds/ Pleated blinds have the added advantage of folding up really small. Alternatively, you could try Roman blinds, but these have a deeper stack at the top of the window when closed. Hope that helps, Zoe...See MoreBlinds for large sliding doors
