Sheer blinds or wooden blinds?

I’m trying to decide how to dress my windows. I’ll add sheer curtains to the French doors but have a dilemma with the windows. I’m not overlooked so really just need something for when we actually get some some sun. Originally I was thinking white wooden blinds with tapes. I like looking out onto the garden so now think they might block the outside view too much? So am thinking sheer roller blinds? Help......

Comments (2)If you have any pics that would be great, from the sounds of it though I think providing it’s the only wood colour in the space the wood effect would add some more colour and character than a darker cream....See MoreCream or natural oak wood blinds? Which colour?
Comments (6)Palest cream would be nice, but keep away from “clotted cream” type colour as it can look dingy, well that’s what I think anyway! A soft warm white would look lovely too.

Comments (17)I’ve always loved shutters and was considering to install them in our two big bay windows. However, the front of our house faces a greenery and a quiet walkway, so there was no need for them after all. A few of my friends bought them though, and I can’t help myself but to admire their shutters every time I visit. The issue of a proximity to a busy road was sorted out in two houses by the shutters. Hillary’s painted wooden shutters was the best, but an expensive option....See MoreSheer blinds better than curtains?
Comments (11)A couple of thoughts: 1) With a radiator under the window do not have full length curtains. The heat will be channelled straight out through the window. 2) 2.5m wide puts you into custom blind territory. Think about using two or three off the shelf blinds to cover the area. That puts you back into Sonia's Dunelm blind range. 3) I don't know whether this would work but if you wanted double blinds - a sheer blind so people can't see in during the day and a blackout blind at night you could get something like this: https://www.theblindshop.com/product/roller-blinds/roller-blind-double-brackets/. There may be cheaper places - try eBay. OK, so that's three. No experiences of any of these products or whether they will work together but it gives some idea of what could be achieved fairly cheaply....See More
