Would you put curtains over french doors?

If you have a lot of property and are secluded I would not hide them with curtains. Leave the light in and the wide OPEN outside. It is beautiful the way it is.

I meant to say a foot past either side but when they are closed they cover they cover the doors when open the doors can be opened with the curtains behind them

Use nothing; let in whatever light you can. Privacy shouldn't be an issue since the doors open onto a sunroom.

I would if I wanted to. Depends on what you motive is. It is decor, or, insulating for bad weather? If decor is your answer, these windows couldn't be more beautiful surrounded w/14k gold. If you need insulation, I like Maryloosgriffin's idea about being able to open them past the door opening so the doors would open fully w/the drapes behind them.

Either way, have fun experiment. You'll find what works for you. Good luck.

If you're looking for privacy, I'd hang a rod with grommet panels. You can easily open/close them or move them all to one side.

Your doors are beautiful as is and a long curtain rod would take away from the beauty and the wonderful moldings. If you want privacy, consider adding window film. You can find a variety of window films on Amazon and on Ebay. If you really want curtains and are not concerned about privacy, then hang stationary panels on each side of the doors using command hooks or a small flash sash rod.

I certainly WOULD cover them up. I don't know about you, but when it's cold out and the windows are uncovered at night, I FREEZE. A long, thin-but-sturdy rod just under the transom, and drapes on rings that you can pull out of the way during the day so you can see all the way to China if you want to. Make the rod long enough to pull them to one side or the other. All of the glass here gets covered - at night.

I wouldn't cover them since they lead into an other room and that room appears large so unless it's absolutely necessary enjoy them. I would love to have something so beautiful in my home. You never stated why you needed them covered? If you don't like them send them to me,HAHAHA ! Is it due to warm up the room because seasonal room allows a draft? I think that would be something you should indicate so that we can offer more opinion.

I would never cover or put curtains on French doors.....they let in beautiful outdoors and light and are beautiful, just the way they are.

Oh no please don't cover your French doors, they are beautiful. I agree with another comment, if privacy isn't an issue, leave them open. They are beautiful, I love the windows above the door. Thank you for sharing.

BEAUTIFUL.....as far as privacy..can a person see from sun room through theses doors? i would leave them as is..room dividers that are in line with your decorating theme...opened up at evening ...closed and off to side during day...non invasive...and no commitment...sound like a plan? or a relationship...ha ha

I love the doors also. However, if you really want curtains, you can get small spring-type rods that attach directly to the doors, both top and bottom. The curtains would have rod pockets at both ends so they are fitted and would not move or be in the way when opening and closing the doors. During the day they can be cinched in the middle so you can still see out and get light in, But it would definitely diminish the view. Sheers or lace though might be nice.

Traditionally these French door & windows @sides of doors are treated with a small rod @ top & bottom with a white sheer curtain,no heavy drapery. Creates privacy,yet light comes thru..good luck!

Definitely not , this is perfect the way it is , such a beautiful view , only cover french doors if you are wanting privitcy,like a bedroom !

They are beautiful as is, clean and uncluttered. Curtains would crowd the fireplace.

No!! But if you decided some type of drape was needed maybe use the half rods that swing back toward the wall, popular in the 40s

I think. Or maybe a decorative rod over the door frame with a

fabric sleeve bunched on it like on chandelier chains.

I think they're gorgeous exactly as they are.

Nets or Voile and may be Dress curtains either side.

Just sheer ones .. it is beautiful as is

Hi Bobbie, hope this helps.

Like the idea of making it blend into the wall by painting it the same shade.

If privacy isn't an issue I wouldn't but if you feel you need to why not go with a sheer material but with some texture to it like a sheer woven material. With sheers you can pull them back when you want to let light in and when closed you can still see outside.

Hello, hope this helps you out. You can do curtains, or vertical blinds or a pull down roller blind, or venetians] blinds, any of which would look gorgeous! Depends on your personal taste! Good luck!

No the whole idea of the french doors is to let light in and they do date a set of french doors. If privacy is a concern why not frost the doors so light still comes in but noisy neighbors can't see in.

No you wouldn't.

I wouldn't.

You can attach two individual curtain rods, one on each door and hang curtains from the rods rather than hanging from the overhead door trim. You might want to measure and also place a rod at the bottom portion of each door to keep the curtains in place rather than free flowing when the doors are opened and closed.

Yes, Use a curtain wire on each door and hang Shire or Lace or Net curtains on them.

I like them how they are.

You can or you could add somthing to the individual panes of glass. Just cut out the size needed and you can choose either a material that totally blocks the light or some that lets some light thru. The choice is up to you!

Yes - Sheer Voile that is weighted at hem.

I like the doors just the way they are. Since you have a sun room on the other side you do not have to worry about heat or cold coming in.
