Traditional
The simplest and most familiar option is to use straight curtains, placing them on both sides of the balcony block. Ideal for those who rarely visit the balcony. Fabric curtains make the room cozy - if desired, the balcony door can be disguised by simply closing the curtain.
Usually, designers strive to beat the window opening so that the room seems larger: for this, the cornice is placed along the entire width of the wall, so that the main part of the curtains covers the walls. So the window opening seems to be larger and makes the room visually wider.
Choose a mount so that the curtains slide as freely as possible, and the fabric does not create creases. A practical option is considered curtains on eyelets, and more aesthetic - on a hidden cornice.
Roller blinds

Roman curtains

The choice of Roman models with an elegant and even lush design is so great that it is easy to pick them up even for an expensive classic setting - with them a window unit with a balcony door will look expensive and elegant.
Can be hung complete with roller blinds, curtains or blinds - the furnishings will only benefit from this. Combine a variety of materials by type of fabric and degree of transparency to achieve an interesting effect and give the impression that a designer has worked on the design.
Sheer door and tulle

The problem is solved by using thin tulle curtains - this is ideal for those who feel uncomfortable with uncovered windows.
