I am a fan of nothing on windows except for privacy, but at night it can feel as if you are in a fishbowl, which bothers some people. My usual solution is white sheers that can be pulled over the windows if needed.
But the white sheers do NOT help at night! (Can still see in, because of such lighting difference)

On the front windows of my house, I have two pairs of sheers on each window rod, so passersby can't really see very much unless I or others are near the window. Even then, the sheers obscure most details. If I only had single pairs on each window, then it would be relatively easy to see into the house.
We live waaaay out, so we do not have curtains. We do have pull-down shades for when a visitor just can't handle sleeping in a curtainless room, but when it's just us, they stay up.
We do, for privacy but also because from May-July the sun rises in the 4am hour (we are in WA but not far (as a crow flies) from the PT-MT border so we have early sunrises.
no.... only 2 we do.... guest bedroom (blinds) and our master (wood shutters). I like nothing on the windows that we can. We live rural area... and pretty private.
LOL, my house is in the middle of nowhere. I had a friend watch it for a weekend while I was gone. They stayed in the one room with curtains at night because they were unsettled by no curtains or blinds anywhere.
In fact, it is very important to have window curtains in every room. It is for privacy, withstanding muds and it is good for natural air circulation sometimes.
According to the modern style, people want to use curtains that match the color of the wall. To me, it seems good to make a simple and undisturbed environment, which is very important for a living room.
both. either house. wife is a fan of the new no string pull blinds in 2" faux wood. my wallet isnt, but she is. ergo, we are getting no string pull blinds in 2" faux wood each room we do.
