Okay, I already feel like I have my judge-y designer pants on already.
I really am not that type of interior designer—I promise! I like to take cues from my clients, and design to THEIR tastes and not MINE (you would be shocked in my world how many designers design for themselves!). I’m pretty laid back about flowing into whatever style my client wants. But I do have a sore spot, I really, really, really don’t like mini blinds. There, I said it.
I’m sorry if I have offended you.
I know they are practical, and they are cheap, and they are found in like every other suburban home in America. I’m just not a fan.
I think today there are so many other options that give you privacy, but some more beauty. These different looks not only soften your windows, but really bring attention to them. So if I have saved one window from a white metal mini blind today, then I am smiling! Okay, designer judge-y pants off, and I’m back in my yoga pants.

In fact, places like Lowes and Home Depot offer blinds and shades at amazing prices and classics like Target offer beautiful curtains for a little as $20/panel. My favorite look right now is the combo of wood/woven shade paired WITH curtains. That look below is from my family room.
Here are a couple more inspirations:
