Curtains or Blinds.

[Levo-Lon]

I prefer the choice that MrsPete says we’re having. Or else!!

Its the way of things.. Curtains for us ,tho we do have some blinds in bathroom and back bedroom

Blinds for us upstairs, will be replacing the downstairs curtains with blinds as well at some point.

Depends how good your windows are, curtains made a big difference in winter with our old knackered windows!.

Vertical blinds AND curtains for us.
Blinds are handy but if you want "dark" you need curtains.

We have both - vertical blinds and curtains.
The blinds on their own didn't block out enough light.

I would have agreed with you both up until this last year, our bedroom is due East & always in the summer the sun has come shining in even with curtains with heavy linings. But this year we replaced the standard vertical blonds with blackout blinds & they certainly do their job, at night it is almost pitch black in there & in the morning they really do stop the sun, it will be interesting to see this winter if they also keep the room warmer we get the feeling they will but it has been exceptionally warm this summer.

Correct!

We have blackout roller blinds and curtains in all bedrooms. Works a treat.

Blinds. And get rid of the cats.

We have the double blind curtain combo.

Works well except in the recent hot weather when blinds restrict air flow from open windows.

And get rid of the cats.

Why?

Curtains
We’ve just dumped the vertical blinds, never closed as the cats would just wreck them, total waste of money

I have long bedroom windows. I use roller blinds with a piece of simple material hung either end to finish the edges off. Dark blue blinds with a bright red material either end looks very good.

Why?

Because they damage the blinds, silly....

And because they're cats.
