Some people have trouble deciding between vertical blinds and shades. It can be a tough decision and many of just do not know where to start with our interior decorating plans. The best recommendation that can be made is to start at the window and to work your way around the room. Make the window the focal point of what you want to do. Start there and work your way out. This is your true source for natural light and will be where everyone is drawn to anyways. Look into what you can use and what the different things are that you can do to play off of the window treatment that you decide on. Use all aspects of the room and a variety of different things to make it all come together. It seems to be best to start with a specific theme or plan that you want to meet or achieve. Then put everything together to make it happen. Remember though that you need to start with your window treatment first as this is where everyone will be drawn.
Consider your different selections to use in the window treatments. Look into shades or blinds, possibly curtains or a valence. You may even decide to use a combination of any of these things to make it all come together. Try to be creative but keep in mind your budget as well as your goals so as to make it a success. Find something that all of the aspects of your room design will be able to somehow connect to. You are looking for harmony and flow in the room to create continuity and make the visitors feel comfortable while they are in the room.
Your next challenge will be to determine how far it is that you wan to go with this. Do you only want to do one room or are you looking to remake your entire house. Determine if you are doing your entire home if you want separate themes for each room or if you want all of the rooms to have continuity. It is up to you. Do you want to show a different side of you or whoever lives in each room or are you looking for uniformity. Make a decision and then make a budget. Make sure what you do is affordable and makes sense. Also, do not forget that this is your vision so be sure to see it through and do what you really want.
