There are so many types of blinds, from very inexpensive to super-high-end. And so many different styles ... metal, plastic, cloth, sheer, semi sheer, layered, etc.
Your best way of seeing what they are like would be to go to a retail outlet that has a good display, where you can find out the different features/options and try them out!
In my office I have one of the wooden slatted ones .... would never have one again, as with the width/height of the window it is one massive tug to get it to go up and down. Certainly not an easy thing to do!!
Then there is the challenge to get it to stay level ... a problem with all blinds, particularly the horizontals.
Unless of course, you pay for the ones that have an auto roller or power.
