Bamboo blinds on 2 x windows and no blinds/curtains etc on sliders wall?

Last decision to make on our newly extended kitchen family room. Thinking of having bamboo blinds on the west and east facing windows but doing without on the north facing wall with the sliders.
Do you think it would look odd?

What are sliders?

I'd have the same on all sides. Would be fine in the summer but I'd want it to be cosy in winter.

It’s a big mostly square room. The sliders are on the largest prodomint wall which you face from the kitchen. Really keen to have the bamboo roll up blinds but don’t think they do them large enough to cover the sliders and also think it would be awkward to use them hence why thinking to do without.

So sliding doors? Are you overlooked?

We couldn't make blinds/shutters/curtains work on our house, and I decided to try it without anything for a while. We do live in a national park with no neighbours! Anyway, I absolutely love it - it looks v simple and architectural. I thought I wouldn't like the reflections from the windows at night but it doesn't bother me at all. Would be less keen if people could see in!
