Window Treatments for Sliding Balcony Doors
My partner and I are currently building a house and we both like roller blinds throughout the house but are undecided when it comes to our bedroom. We have North facing bi-parting sliding doors that lead to our balcony which we are really excited to keep open at night to let in a breeze.
I really love the look of sheer linen curtains like the picture below, just because I think they make a statement and just look really luxurious. My partner isn't convinced as he wants an option that will block out light when we need it to and would prefer to continue the roller blinds throughout. I'm not sold on the roller blinds as we currently have roller blinds in the bedroom and they bang when the wind blows through the windows which is very annoying!
If any one has any advice or recommendations we would love to hear from you.

7 years agoHey there Amy Williams, we may be slightly biased but we're huge fans of block out roller blinds (especially on the weekend when we're needing some sleep).
Would you consider having both the sheer curtain, and the roller blinds? The sound of the roller blinds as the breeze blows can be easily fixed by sticking some small foam bits on the parts of the blind that come into contact with the window edge.
This way you get the best of both worlds - the romanticism of sheer curtains, and style and functionality of block out roller blinds.

Comments (2)I'm in the same boat as you, we will be having black venetian blinds and I was thinking of having a silver sheer net curtain to go over it. Trouble is we are building a small house and in the open plan there are two windows only at the back right next to each other and one is the sliding door. So I thought it would look silly having a curtain on one and not the other but as its the only exit to the back yard it will be a pain to lift blind draw curtain!...See MoreWindow treatments in our spare room
Comments (18)We have custom made blinds from Spotlight in our bedrooms. On the tall narrow Windows I put dual roller ( that is privacy & blockout) on the large windows we put roller privacy then Roman block out over the top. While they all look lovely & I am more than happy with the quality they do restrict the breeze. It is difficult to have privacy and a fresh breeze. Which I never considered at the time of purchase....See MoreWindow/sliding door treatment?

Comments (10)Hi cprestonthomas if you want to maintain privacy with daytime light control, replacing the clear glass with white translucent glass is a great idea! Then for night time privacy a simple chain operated blockout roller blind on the reverse roll is the way to go. Is that another window beside your sliding doors? If so I don't think you have enough stack back for curtains. This means the curtain fabric would cover part of the glass on the sliding doors which would be extremely annoying for loss of light as well as ease of access. If the extension is quite modern, blockout roller blinds on both the sliding doors and window would work well here too. There are some fabulous roller blind fabrics these days in some great neutrals, colours and patterns....See More
