Creative Window Treatment Solutions for Sliding Glass Doors? – ApartmentTherapy
Q: I’m wondering what creative window treatment solutions are out there for sliding glass doors. I want to avoid using those traditional, cheap vertical blinds. Would a roman shade work? Any tips?

Contrary to the other comments, I would use roman shades. Mounted high enough above the door so that they stack completely out of the way. You won’t lose any of your light and can freely use the door. You can make your own fabric shades if you don’t want to buy them or buy woven woods. There are several sites online with reasonable prices. If you decide on curtains, I would extend the rod enough so that the curtains stack to the outside so they don’t intrude on your light and easy passage through the door. Whatever you do, make them work with your other window treatments. – TulumChica

Window Treatments for Patio and Sliding Glass Doors – HunterDouglas
