What kind of window treatment for my sliding doors (pic)
PLease help me dress my sliding doors.
I do not want vertical blinds, but I need some type of privacy for these sliders.
The right side is a little short, see where the moulding meets the wall? So if I hung a curtain rod, I dont think it willl look right.
What other options are there for sliders??

You could use a swing out curtain rod...or a tension rod(you'd probably need two-not sure if they sell them that long)

i put bamboo roman shades with curtains on mine but i can see why you don't want a curtain being that the end of the door and molding is so close to the end of the wall....myabe plantation shutters? or 2.5 inch blinds?
i originally wanted plantation shutters in my house but they were $$ and it wasn't in the budget for us, my MIL and SIL have cordless blinds on their sliders - the ones you can lift up - but my door is a lot wider and taller than theirs and i bet yours is even bigger than mine so i don't know how that would work...
if you want to stay away from curtains i would say shutters or maybe even those sliding panels?
i'm in FL, are you? the pic reminds me of a FL house, very nice!

Do you have any pics of what you're referring to? Would 2.5" blinds work? The sliders are pretty wide. I've been looking online at the sliding panels, and a swing curtain rod like PP suggested (never knew such a thing existed). I would love shutters - we priced it out a couple yrs ago, and it was very expensive - we just cant afford that at the moment with the baby and all her added expenses, lol.
And yes, I am in FL. St Lucie.

I have linen sheers on mine and I love them. They slide over very easily when we want it fully open but give us the privacy (without taking away the light) when we need it.
ETA: I have a similar situation with the rod in my bedroom; we simply didn't add the finial on that side and it looks totally fine.

I have sheers and sliders over my doors.
I think you could do a curtain. It would prob give the illusion that your door is centered.
Like Leeners said - don't add the finial.
