It occurs to me that in the immediate context of my last post, that probably sounds like a question about screen wallpaper!  lol   I am wondering, though, what you have on your actual, physical windows.  What do you like/dislike about it?

Most of our windows currently bear whatever coverings they had in/on them when we moved in, and I’m trying to decide what to keep and what to swap out.

I love the idea of blinds.  Regular white or colored plastic blinds aren’t my favorite, because they’re just lacking something aesthetically, in my opinion.  But wooden ones, or bamboo or faux wood blinds, can be very pretty.  And nothing compares to blinds for versatility.  Not only can you raise or lower them, but you can open or close them.  You can let in light but not let the neighbors see in.  They’re just very practical, as far as that goes.  But they’re a nuisance to clean and, more importantly, they’re a safety hazard for households with children, because of the cords.

Roller shades are okay – and avoid the cord issue – but they’re generally not very attractive, and we’ve learned that our children can break them in a hurry just by being a little too eager to look out the window.

So that leaves curtains, or something like Roman shades.  (And don’t those have cords, too?)

So…what do you use?  And why do you like it or dislike it?
