What blinds/ curtains for constantina / Bi fold doors?

Just had 6 panels of white aluminium bi-fold doors put in our kitchen.Love them but we need to have something to cover them from the inside.
Should we use vertical shutters to obscure them, or curtains or top-to-bottom blinds?
We want something that will look good but not horrifically expensive as we have spent quite a bit on the whole extension.
Any views/ tips appreciated!

Could you try one of the big name blind companies (Sanderson or Hillarys)?

We have uPVC windows and we have horizontal blinds (metal or wood) that fit in the panes themselves and move with the windows/doors ... they aren't too cheap or perhaps some conservatory blinds might do the job?

I think those "screen" blinds look great. Contemporary and clean lines which will go well with the modern doors. I think Ikea make them but I'm not sure on sizing - they may look a bit odd if they're noticeably different sizes to the doors. Will try to find/do a link.

My next favourite option would be some plain lightweight material curtains. Please don't clutter them up with venetian/vertical blinds!

okay try this:

If it doesn't work, they're called panel curtains and you need the Kvartal hanging system (which might be a drawback as the track will go on the floor).

They also do good value plain curtains.
