A better pic would be to stand back so folks can see the entire room - in the daylight.

Its approx 9 feet wide...each panel approx 3 feet wide. I don't need privacy, it leads onto high fenced deck. What I was hoping to do is keep the verticals up that are already there (don't like them) but they sure come in handy in the summer on hot days for keeping sun out. If I kept the verticals up and put drapes on both sides it would look unsightly with the hardware from verticals showing and the rod I hang drapes on. I don't want it too formal but definitely classy looking in a tailored way.

I agree that mirrored doors tend to look "dated" no matter what. With that said, for mirrored doors, these don't look bad. I imagine the intent was to make a small space appear bigger. Any barn door would encroach on your space more than these doors. I don't mind the OP's inspiration barn door for this space, assuming other furniture ties it all together. However, on OP's application, they would be narrower and wouldn't look quite as balanced. I actually like the idea of wallpapering over the mirrors if it's done right. How about grass cloth or similar - either in a tone that matches your blacksplash or a grey tone? I would probably try to mimic the wall color as much as possible. I think that can look quite lovely and finished if done right. How much space is between the two doors when they slide past each other?

:) Valid questions The office room will be used as a bed room. So, I dont have a "real" office room. I do work from home a lot and that dining room would be really multitasking. kitchenette is wife's demand. So, no questions asked there :) In fact, she does lot of cooking and often cooks with spices that make the home smell like a curry. kitchenette is to avoid that. With a nice vent system, that kitchenette would help us contain the smell. We are not really thinking about the house for sale down the road in the near future. We wan to build one as we want it and live next 30-40 years happily ever after.

Too, these are not good pictures. You'd want to place the camera some medium distance from the subject and line up with the center of it. Then, you'd pan the camera from far left to far right taking slightly overlapping views (180*) so that we could see the whole subject with its surroundings. You'd keep the camera at the same location for all pictures with that view. Also, you'd take the pictures at a time where there is not a large portion of the scene blocked out by dark shadows. For a backyard, the subject is usually the back of the house (for which you't take the camera toward the back property line and aim it toward the house.) And it is also the view which is seen from the back of the house (for which you'd place take the camera to the back, center of the house and show 180* of the view in slightly overlapping pictures.) If you don't show all these things in this manner, it's not likely that the site will be well understood. Or it will be too difficult to figure out.

Why do you feel you need something? My first impression is that your room is already looking crowded with the massive sectional and huge television. Is that furniture you brought with you or bought for this space?

If you don't need to cover it, don't cover it. You have only a small bit of wall on the left, so drapes aren't going to work unless you don't mind covering part of the window. Usually drapes on a slider pull all to one side, away from the side that opens.

I see an overcrowded room . What is it you want to do with the door / Do you need privacy ? Will the door be used daily? Is ther issues with the sun ?

Can you stand back and take a pic of the entire room? It will help folks give better advice.

I put Bali vertical cellular's on my sliders to the back patio.

If you don’t need door coverings for privacy or light control, consider keeping them uncovered.

There isn't a lot of wall space on the left side of the door for a drape stack. I personally dislike a stack on the right side if it encroaches on the door handle.

It would be great to see a daylight photo of the view of your balcony. Do your condo rules allow balcony plants and seating? A good-looking balcony vista will enhance your view when inside your condo.

My Bali vertical cellulars stack on the right or the left and I can stack them only in the middle. Nice and flexible!
