Window treatments for vertical blinds

by Kathy
(New York)

I purchased valances that swoop down to put up over my vertical blinds that cover a sliding glass door.

When I got them home and started to hang them, I realized that they would come down to far and if you would try to walk out the door they would hit you in the head.

Do you have any suggestions? Should I just get new valances? What do you suggest as the best window treatments for veticle blinds and sliding doors?

Thank you so much for your help. I have attached a picture of similar valances.
