I would remove the wovens and use drapery panels or sheers.

What scares me about vertical blinds is if it's going clash the style of the house and make it more traditional style? My decor is more leaning towards... Restoration Hardware meets a craft style home. Very industrial/modern.

Attached is the only style that hunter Douglas makes on the woven shades with the material that o have for the other two windows in that room. Removing the other two is not an option... 1.) spent a lot of money already on them 2.) I love the style. Thanks in advance

The struggle comes from the door opening being so much lower than the window openings. Ideally, they would all go the same height. I'm assuming you don't want to remodel to add a window panel over the doors, though that would be ideal. Using a liner on the door shades to hide the different height of the doors and windows would create a different kind of disparity; some shades transparent, some opaque. How using a header on the door shades with a height that extends from the top of the surrounding windows to just under the top of the door frame?

The reason everyone is talking drapery panels and vertical blinds (vertical blinds are not a current look) is because shades that you have to pull up to go through the door are awkward. That's a long length to have to pull up. That's probably why there are none there now.

You might also consider some sort of pergola or shade structure on the outside patio so you don't need a sunscreen on the doors at all.

Lastly, how about horizontally sliding flat panels of your shade material. I don't have a pic handy, but think about Japanese sliding screens to get the concept. You could match your shades, and they're easy to slide out of the way.

Here's what I meant with "sliding fabric panels".

That's okramar, I would love the idea of your picture, but Hunter Douglas doesn't make it available to woven shades. I was wondering if I can do another tone with out creating to much disparity with styles? Also, I have thought about the pergola for the sliding door... We do have a lot of shade with trees in the summer, however the problem is during the winter. snow + sun can add tremendous light into that room.

Also, in all honesty... On the horizontal shades: I don't see me having them pulled all the way down. I just need something to cover half of the window, during 3-6pm

Definitely need to match the fabric. In my area we have a shop that does custom window coverings. I literally picked out a fabric from any supplier - they have hundreds of sample books - and they created any kind of shade, drapery, or blind that we decided on. My thought is, you can order just the material from Hunter Douglas, or you will find some shade fabric so close as to be indistinguishable from another supplier. If you don't know of a shop that can do that, I'd contact a local decorator who can find you such a shop and have it made.

I would do draperies hung on a rod placed at the same height as the shades. It would add some softness to the room.

I need a little more convincing on the idea of draperies for a few reasons:

1.) yes, it would soften the look... However not sure if it's needed in a kitchen/family room area. The look that I am trying to lean is more modern/industrial.

2.) if I do a drapery it would have to be an ivory of very light beige. I am planning to paint the walls in a warm gray tone.

a.) the problem with ivory or light beige is that I do have kids

3.) draperies can create more shade and I do want some light to come through the window in the evening a sheer drapery, I feel like it be extremely feminine and will create some disparity on the style that I am trying to create (I might be wrong with this thought process, but that is my initial thoughts)

Once you paint the walls a warm grey tone, I don't think seeing the 13" above will be an issue vs seeing white behind. You'll have consistency in the room from a height and design perspective.

Okramar- I have looked a little into trying to match the other blinds. However these are wooden natural woven blinds with 5 colors in them. It's hard to find an exact replica with a competitor.

Attached is a picture of the style that I am trying to go for, more or less

Sliding panels are the way to go.

Maybe you could have matching blind made with a valance large enough to cover the height difference.

Match the coverings on the other windows, match the height, and don't worry about the opacity.

in the same vein as the valance, you could build a simple cornice board for ech window amd start it at the ceiling and have each one come down to the same horizontal line. if you want to keep it modern, the cornices could match your walls. I realize the cornices would hide the tops of the windows, but it would give you more symmetry and a continuous horizontal line to tie the widows and sliding doors together.

if you went with the horizontal shades on the door, then they would be hidden until they are lowered as the shades would be on the windows.

Where did you get your light fixtures? The hanging glass ones. Very pretty :)

Or hang them lower instead of higher on the wall assuming you can still stack them high enough to open the doors.

What is your HD designer suggesting? I would go with same shade as in first picture in above post. Verticals are going to clutter up the nice clean lines you already have going with the other windows. Verticals need stack back space and it looks like you'd have to split it on each side due to the narrow wall.

What groveraxel did. The higher one lined. Perfect.

These might be better pictures. The Cornice boards... I don't think I have ever seen them mixed with woven wooden Roman shades. I don't have an interior designer.

Light fixtures are from RH.

Could you tell me the height of your ceilings, door, and windows? We are thinking about having our windows higher than our doors, so I would be interested in knowing your dimensions. Thx!
