Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Apr 11, 2012 9:07 pm This is one thing that has had me stumped since I purchased my house. We currently have timber venetian blinds (on all windows and sliding doors ) and I hate them with a passion... they are impossible to clean and they collect dust. I want something modern but easy to maintain and relatively cheap... What has had me stumped is what to put on both doors and windows that will go together and look nice. We have 4 large windows, 3 glass sliding doors and about 7 smaller windows. Any suggestions? Re: What window/sliding door Dressings 2Apr 13, 2012 8:09 pm Hi Jadielee 87. There's so much you can do and it really depends on so many factors. Here are some of my ideas. 4 large windows: Sunscreen roller blind - You can then layer this with side drapes that don't move but will just decorate and dress the windows. It can further be dressed with pelmets if you want. 3 glass doors: Panel Glide blinds that match - matching pelmet if you decide on the pelmet on the windows 7 small windows: Sun screen roller blinds I'll try to come up with other ideas and maybe find photo inspirations for you. They are all easy to maintain.

I'm looking at the panel glide for the sliding door but I'm just not sure, we had a normal block out curtain in our old house on the sliding door and it looked great but im not sure if it's too heavy for our new house.

I may go with the roller blinds - the ones with the double screen thing. I think that may be all the OH will go for! lol I showed him the roman blinds and he didn't like them at all - he is so hard to please! haha Re: What window/sliding door Dressings 5Apr 16, 2012 11:01 pm Yes there are so many options out there. Double roller blinds are great. Have you had any quotes yet?
