One of the biggest decorating challenges we’ve faced in our apartment is how to stylishly cover up our glass door. The door leads out to our deck, so we definitely knew we needed a treatment that doesn’t get in the way, but also provides some privacy once nighttime rolls around.
If we owned this place, I would probably cover the glass panels with bamboo shades or some type of roman shade. But since I hardly felt it was worth ordering a custom-cut shade for an apartment, we decided on sliding panels mounted on a long curtain rod.
First, we hung the rod high above the door and extended it past the door frame on either side by a few inches. That way, when we want to access the deck or just open the door for some fresh air, we can simply push the panels out of the way. This set-up also allows us to use the middle bracket, which prevents the rod from sagging.
When we want some privacy, we just slide ‘em shut. The metal grommets make them glide over the rod (which was another Christmas Tree Shops steal at $11.99).
And about those curtains—we scored them on clearance at Bed Bath & Beyond, and they just happen to match the drapes in the living room. I love when a space just comes together.
