Would LOVE to see what you're seeing! A photo or two will aid in advice.

Are you totally ruling out by pass shutters for your slider? We live in an area where the homes are very close together and we need the privacy at night. We recently had by pass plantation shutters mounted on our slider that share the same wall as our blinds, beautiful look.

Bad pictures added for now since I'm at work. I'll update later this evening.

I haven't officially ruled out a shutter for our sliding door, however I just haven't found a style that's pleasing to the eye. We don't have any neighbors to the back or the side, but there's a walkway that can peek through if they really try. All in all, the intention is to block out the glare when we are watching TV.

Patricia - are you a professional designer?

Ohhh with those windows in such close proximity to each other, I would do one type of treatment. PERHAPS, if you're feeling daring, use the same fabric, but split up the design with Roman shades paired drapery?

Banded/trimmed Romans is one of my all FAVORITE looks.

Similar to what Gordon's Window Decor suggested above, I would do roman shades on the windows and a full length curtain for the slider. Just make sure to offset the curtain so when it's fully open the curtain rests mostly over the wall giving you optimal light. Something similar to this...

Unlike the photo, I would do an inside mount for the roman shades.

Hope this helps and congrats on the new home!

You can absolutely mix window/door treatments on the same wall!

What you way find to be an issue once everything is installed is you may see need to balance the softness of the shade on your door with something on/near the wall running perpendicular to it. This could be achieved with a decorative shade- like a roman shade- over one of the shuttered windows, a large floor lamp or pendant with a fabric shade, or even a textural throw blanket on that side of your sectional. Shoot for function first on this one, then form.

Best of luck with your project!

The shutters installed on the windows facing the side yard are fine. Generally shutters are good for light control and privacy but kill your view.

Outside mounted roman shades, woven woods or inside mounted roller shades work for all of the windows and are possible for your slider as well. Using a valance above the roller shades can even out the difference between inside and outside mounting.

One option not mentioned is to do operating drapery panels on the slider and then do some variation of either drapery, shade or shutter on the windows.

The roman shade and shutter options are generally more costly than the roller shades. Adding a valance can balance that out.

Really you need to decide if you want to see your backyard or not. Then go from there. If you are in Southern California feel free to contact me.

Thanks again for all the comments. If better pictures are needed, here they are from two different angles.
