    Got new windows in - in line, evenly spaced, 8ft x 6ft large windows.

    They’re quite tall which is nice. Had presumed we would get blinds but now not so sure. Any advice as to blinds or no blinds.

    Thanks all.

    Do you need them for privacy?
    What kind of blinds are you thinking of?
    What is the style of the house?
    Will you have curtains?
    Is it a new build/serious refurb (let it dry out completely before putting roller blinds in, or they will go mildewed)
    Why do you think you need blinds?

    I think it depends on whether you need blinds for privacy or not.
    We live on a busy main street, but blinds would need to be down all day, defeating the reason for having windows.
    So we have double curtain rails on all of the front windows, each with a single voile, no curtains.
    This allows lots of light to flow through, but offers complete privacy, so win win for us.

    I think blinds have their place, but aren't suited everywhere.

    Those are lovely windows, by the way.
