Curtains over bifold doors or something else?

We have bifold doors which are great in summer, but no so good in winter. I'm wondering about getting curtains across them to keep some heat in but not sure if they'll look right in a modern-looking room.

Are there any other options that would do the same job?

Interested!
Ours has got blinds between the panes of glass, but was wondering yesterday if there was something else I could do. Ideally temporary. I wondered about a pressure fit shower pole, with curtains for the winter, to be taken down in the summer?

Might Zebra blinds work?

Following as our living room opens into the conservatory (no wall between) and the bifolds make it very cold!

I wondered about blinds, then I wasn't sure if they'd keep the heat in the same way?

Also thought about a pressure rod but that wouldn't be strong enough to hold up thick curtains.

I’d go for the curtains, as long as you get a nice modern pole and lovely curtains it’ll be fine! No different than curtains on a big window. Just tie them back in summer or swap for voiles
