Privacy wanted on full-length glass front door to house
Hi, I live in a Prairie style house and our front door is full-length glass. Whilst this is nice sometimes we need privacy - as per 9 year old pointed out! When it's dark outside and we are home with lights on, anyone can see our hallway, staircase etc. I'd like something that looks nice both sides - especially anyone approaching the house - like a reverse roman blind - which is inkeeping with the rest of the house as we have mostly romans on the windows. Any ideas most welcome (e.g. can a Roman blind look lovely on both sides?)
. Thank you!

New kitchen, but just not working.
Comments (448)fragle0 ... congratulations on the new addition to your family. Have been following your lovely changes. You probably won't have time to work on the decor for a while. Just wanted to suggest that you try pulling the nesting tables forward to be more in line with front of the chairs & placing your floor lamp to the back of them. This will give a bit more light at night for reading in that area.Also switching the plant by the fireplace & the one on the corner by the sofa....See MoreRevamp our hallway
Comments (44)Paint the doors black matt and the fames cream add silver crome door furniture. Huge silver mirror above the covered radiator then add a runner of any colour you like and match it with the lamps and lighting. hey presto done....See MoreNeed Help with long sitting room.
Comments (4)I'd put another set of sliding doors between the lounge and the playroom rather than a solid wall. Reason being is that it gives you more options. You get to sequester the mess and noise when you want and you still get a good flow later on when the kidlets aren't such mess monsters. I'd make both sets of sliding doors have full-length frosted glass inserts. That will let in the light. Or you could use shoji doors if that suits the decor better. From your plan, I'm assuming the house is semi-detached, so windows on the right wall aren't possible? Also, you might consider a pocket door from the hallway to the lounge and from the hallway to the utility room. That way you don't have to allow space for door swing....See MoreCurtains for living room nook & large slider patio door in kitchen
Comments (2)I agree, blinds, they are large windows so that is a lot of material / expense if you go down the curtain route, plus curtains may block out light. We have sliding doors like yours and have chosen to keep them free of any covering, however we are not overlooked. You might also want to consider translucent / sheer roller blinds which offer moderate privacy yet still retain a degree of visibility. We have them on our front windows for privacy as we are in a single storey house / bungalow, people can't see in (during the day) but we can see out. We also have curtains with them in the sitting room as we wanted it to be more cosy / private at night. In the other rooms we have another blind that sits over the sheer blinds, but this wouldn't work for all windows....See MoreSonia

6 years agoHave you thought of Intu blinds - they can be made in roller, pleated or metal venetian and they fit snugly into the door (or window). It´s a neat solution as they have minimal framing. You can find more photos if you follow the link below.

Good luck with your final choice
