in a lounge/living room ?

thought a venetian blind would be more light and airy but dh thinks curtains are better.
what do you have?

Have verticals as it's south facing and need to deflect the sun sometimes without shrouding the place in darkness - AND curtains to deaden the sound (otherwise sounds like you're in the bathroom!!)

oh ye, never thought about the sound aspect and we have laminate floor, so might be a bit echoey?

Can also be a bit harsh I think - that's i suppose why they're called soft furnishings.

I should say though, we only ever use the blinds - curtains only used in dead of winter.
