Bedroom Windows Design Dilemma

Curtain Dilemma - Sliding Glass Door Meets Corner Window

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

Help! We have a large sliding glass door in our bedroom next to a corner window. We’d like to do window coverings for both, mainly for the sake of privacy but also to add some decor to the room. Our first choice is curtains but we’re struggling to see how we could make it work, especially because we keep a dresser right below the small window.

We’d love any suggestions!

Seems like there is enough room in there for some vertical blinds.

IMO move the dresser then do drapes that wrap around the corner and stack back from the patio door into the corner or split in the middle of the door if you ave space for the stackback on the left side of the door.Just think this left window is actually your patio door

If you must keep the dresser there, a Roman shade can work. Then make matching fabric long drapes that fully cover the sliders.

Curtains for the door and a matching fabric blind for the window
