Love French doors, but you're probably looking for window treatments that will give you a little privacy and shield your furniture from damaging rays of the sun while still letting light in. Here are a few options:

1. Go to your craft store and get a glass frosting kit. Stencil a beautiful leaf pattern or scroll pattern onto the glass. It's very inexpensive and quick to do. If you don't like the look or make a mistake, the design easily scrapes off with a razor blade.
2. Hang a thin curtain rod on top and bottom of each door panel, and hang sheers or silk shantung or muslin. Cinch the middle with a matching sash when you need more light and keep it full for maximum coverage. If you can't sew, take the pre-measured, cut panels to a dry cleaner - they'll be happy to make a hem or curtain rod pocket.
3. Buy pre-made pleated shades or Roman shades that screen the light and protect the furniture. They'll add instant elegance to your French doors and can be easily removed and dry-cleaned.
4. Don't neglect the importance of your doorknobs. Your French doors instantly look more important with substantial doorknobs and hardware adorning them.
