How would you hang drapes over a set of three French doors? These three doors are in my living room. Thank you.

I'm not a big fan of covering French or patio doors unless I have to for privacy, a bad view outside or serious sun issues.

Use white linen sheers shirred on a decorative rod. They soften the look of the doors and still allow light into the room. You can get them at Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, or Country Curtains.

On my last home I placed rod to draw curtains all to one side, off of the doors. I used a light weight imitation crinkled silk. Light could still shine through but blocked afternoon glare and provided a bit of insulation on winter evenings.
