Do you prefer curtains or blinds?

I prefer curtains. I like black curtains because they do a really good job at blocking sunlight. They also keep the room cool due to this. The fact of the matter remains that I really like stylish curtains. I prefer old-styled curtains. Blinds do not really do a good job at blocking sunlight.

I hadn’t thought of that; I’ve never owned black curtains, so I can’t say for sure whether they’re truly effective at blocking out external light. Also, my goal isn’t just to block the light—I want to prevent people outside from seeing whether or not someone is inside the house; I don’t even want them to be able to see shadows. Does that make sense?

I am a privacy freak. And I prefer to have curtains in my home ahead of blinds. With blinds, I feel like I have shut out the outside world completely. I don't feel the same way with curtains. So I prefer blinds.

Has to be blinds for me in my house and I find I prefer how blinds look in my windows compared to curtains which I feel can be a pain to deal with.

I have blinds in all rooms of my home, and they are fairly easy to keep clean and open and close when I need to.

If I had to choose, it's probably blinds; I feel they are a lot easier to maintain compared to your regular curtains.

I 100% prefer curtains over blinds. Cleaning of blinds is a big work but with curtains, I can easily wash them using my washing machine. Curtains makes apartment look full.
