Hi
Looking for some advice on window dressing for large bi folds doors. There is no a lot of room for curtain stack back but the room does need softening off. Any suggestions welcome

    It all depends whether your doors are still on order or you've had them fitted. Origin Bifolds have a fantastic selection of bifolding door blinds that work not just with their doors but all bifolding doors. They're available manual, automatic and solar controlled. Highly recommend them.


    Your other option is integral glass blinds that is blinds housed between the panes of glass of your double glazed units.

    There are only a few manufacturers of these the for reliability and quality you need to shop around. Pellini are the worlds largest designer of these blinds and they are made by their approved manufacturers, Morley Glass of Leeds being one in the UK and the biggest. Visit most quality double glazing showrooms and its the Morley product you'll probably see.

    With these blinds, quality is everything - you really do get what you pay for. There is no immediate drawback to these blinds other than some may find them more expensive when budgeting for their bifolds but the benefits they provide are excellent.

    The integral blinds, between glass blinds, integrated blinds or however they may be referred to are in a hermetically sealed unit. You can't get to them, you can't clean them - that is the purpose of them. The result is blinds that don't get in the way, blinds that don't need cleaning and when closed you can still enjoy the great appearance of your bifolding doors without obscuring them.

    In the unlikely event that the blinds fail, you have to replace the whole glass with the blind as it is one component.

    It's also worth knowing that these blinds can be fitted to existing windows and doors. If you have older bifolding, sliding or french doors and even windows, there is no reason why you can't have integral blinds if you want them. As long as the unit is 24mm or wider, it should be fine. It'll mean new glass fitted with blinds.

    Integral blinds fitted in the latest generation glass could even help to make your older windows far more energy efficient as well!

    Hope this helps everyone, please do get in touch if you need help with these, where to buy and further information.

      Have you thought about hanging a sheer curtain from the roof/edge of the door like this, a natural sheer linen would look very softening but still remain clean and simple.

      Hello cathcairns, I will suggest to go for Roman blinds and place them on outer wall above frame.

      How about fitting a corded Metropole (have a mooch online) above the window recess? Dress this with a single voile curtain with a wave heading, stacked to the left hand side of the large bifolds. A modern and simple look which would soften the space without blocking out too much light.

      I'd go for a thin voile/sheer floaty curtain on a rail or track that is fixed to the ceiling!

      If you decide to go for curtains, have a look at https://curtainringclips.co.uk/ for clips, hooks or tiebacks to soften the look of the room.

      Fabulous looking room! Love the doors! I would hold off on deciding whether you need something on the windows to soften the room. First have your furniture in place, perhaps go for a larger rug. And with the walls finished, some art and all your furniture in place you might decide it's just perfect as is. I think that the current unfinished state makes it look 'colder' then it is.
