Personally, I like simple blinds, but you could add roman blinds or the french door draperies that attach at the top and bottom of the door. I would not do loose curtains that close to the wood stove.

I find the woodstove in an odd place for heating but I need to see the whole space . Is the woodstove the primary source for heating? The reason I am asking is that where I live that woodstove install would not meet code .What is the black rectangle on the wall ? Is taht light above the table made to choose LED color ? It is IMO mounted a bit high but not really ideal as a chandelier either I hate doors with interior blinds thay never last and once askew no fix . Are you planning on a new door ? I think drapes are a bad idea that close to a woodstove but I alos do not like plinds on patio doors . Have you looked at the siding panel type window coverings thay might be agood answer.

Here is a wider view of the room. The woodstove is professionally installed and passed the inspection. We have slanted ceiling in this room. And it is not the main source of heating. The black rectangle is just a painted pattern the wife decided to do (I'd like to do something about it but it will be another project). The LED pendant light does not allow color change, we should be able to lower it down a bit to serve as a proper task light.

I suggest roman shades for your doors and a rechargeable battery operated sconce for more light in the area you find dark.

Replacing the door has been on our mind for a while now. But would changing it to sliding patio door make it better? We might still have the same problem with window covering.

You could try a product called the "PD Door," which can function as a sliding door or be opened as double doors at the same time.

It's a very nice door, I see no need to replace it. Perhaps you could get outdoor roller shades mounted on the exterior of the doors. You would have to step outside to raise or lower them.

The only other thing I can think of is drapes that open only to the left. We have two drapery panels on our double French doors that open only to one side because of a beam. We close them in direct sun and at night with no problem. Our Miulee velvet blackouts fold flat when open.

Mount the rod under the transom window.

They make plug-in sconces btw.

Thank you @KW PNW Z8. We love the table too!

I agreed with your inputs. Perhaps that is the only option in my situation. I guess the next headache would be choosing the style/color of shades that aligns with the overall style of the house....

@tracefloyd Thank you. But the thing about plug-in sconces is that the cable is exposed and we do not have an outlet on the left side of the door....Battery powered ones may work, but it is an hassle to have to change battery every so often...

I believe rechargebale sconces were mentioned...no batteries to replace which I agree is a pain.

There's always solar window film and/or privacy film if that is a viable option for you.

@tsuweicherng

For your info, the sconce suggested is rechargeable no battery replacement required. Look-up rechargeable sconces on Amazon, you'll find they have several models and you'll also see how easy they are to recharge. Maybe they also sell them in stores but I've never looked for them so I don't know where you find them. I have a mini rechargeable table lamp I use and love it!

You can mount any kind of shade on the doors - I'd look at cellular for your style of house. Roman feels too fussy for your decor.

Are you wed to that chandelier? Another style would illuminate this entire room.

Your table is fantastic.

Have you considered softening the wall color?

If you don't need the view, you can get film for the door. You can also replace the slats on the blinds for something more colorful.
