Are blinds outdated? Or what is on your windows?

I have regular blinds in my bedrooms and they keep the sun out. I like them as it makes the rooms very dark. I need a pitch black room to sleep in. I can hear the wind so I might have to close the window. I hate the sound of the wind.

I have roman shades over the windows, and curtains to the sides (that I rarely pull closed.)

My little apartment has those icky plastic mini blinds on every. single. window. I have a love hate relationship with them-love that they are private and I can cover them with curtains, hate because they are a royal ass pain to keep straight...particularly when a cat is involved. 

If it were up to me, there would be no blinds anywhere and I would only have curtains to contend with.

Ditto. We also have plantation shutters on all windows & french doors (onto the rear porch).

Classy!

Hahahahahaha!
What an unfortunate auto correct. My phone won't let me type sheers.

Plantation shutters

All of my windows have wood blinds. Most homes around me have them. I like them. Some windows have curtains over the blinds. I don't think people around me are hgtv driven in their decorating choices. Blinds and ceiling fans still rule the interior world as far as I can tell. Maybe not in the million dollar homes but certainly in the middle and lower income homes.

It may be a question of your region and income bracket instead of what everyone else is doing.

Yes, but I don't give a flying f*ck. There's blinds in every single window in my home. It's mostly tacky plastic mini blinds. Two of them have vertical blinds...oh the horror. Curtains don't work in my home. Of all the things I want to do, that is way down on the priority list. I can look around my neighborhood and I would say 90% plus have them as well.

I do live in a neighborhood of starter homes and a couple of apartment complexes. Not exactly high class.

I hate blinds. I think they look sterile, cheap. I much prefer drapes. They are just warmer, and homier. Also in MN they keep the cold out/heat in better.

I have wood venetians in 3 bedrooms and really like the look. In my sitting room I have roller blinds plus sheer curtains on top so I can shut out the sun when needed and otherwise allow soft light in.

I hate curtains/drapes. I've had them in other houses but they are dust collectors (I live in a place with lots of dust storms) and feel old fashioned to me. We also live in a very hot climate and drapes feel/look hot to me.

We have timber blinds in all bedrooms and our lounge-room at the front of the house. We had the whole house repainted recently and replaced the hideous vertical blinds in the open kitchen/family/dining room. We put custom made roller blinds and I couldn't be happier with them. They match the paint colour perfectly (we have a light sand colour walls and off white trim) so fade right into the background, you don't even notice they are there which is what I was wanting. We were going to replace the wooden blinds too but when we put them back up against the new paint they looked great (and had a good clean when we took them down) so they can stay for awhile.

Well I hope not because I just spent over $2,000 on 2" wide off-white wood blinds for the windows in my brand new house, and I like them.

We have 2" on blinds on every window and I like them.

With 15+ windows in our home, that isn't going to change anytime soon.
