They would be for the living room. The couches are color chocolate, so are the center and side tables (just a little darker). The wood blinds would be the same color as the couches. The bamboo blinds would be a dark beige, with chocolate color designs, those would match the couches.
By the way, there are two window in the living room, one big one and one smaller.
What do you think? Which ones do you think would look better?

I was thinking about the contrast too. And yeah, you guys are right, if I go for the wood It would look too dark.

I would have the bamboo blinds. The dark beige would break the chocolate colour from the couches, yet with the designs makes it match. Bamboo might be more expensive but if so, definitely worth it! Hope it goes well!

I have been looking at new homes recently and they have the 2" wood blinds in them and I have fallen in love with them. They block out light real well and look very nice. The bamboo blinds seem easy to fray, not as clean looking as wood blinds. Good Luck

I think that the bamboo would be more visually interesting, and not too matchy-matchy with the couches.
It depends, though, on the overall look you're going for. If your look is "country", then bamboo would just be weird! If you're going for a contemporary (Pottery Barn-esque) look or an Asian-influenced "zen retreat" feel, then I think bamboo blinds would definitely be the best fit. ;)

I think the bamboo blinds because you don't want the room to be to dark. Add alittle contrast.

Bamboo. I think it's good to go lighter in the windows... makes the room look bigger.

I say go for the one that does not match the other colors to closely.. you want people to notice the blinds... but at the same time.. you don't want window covers that say "look at me" in a bad, gawdy.. ugly way...

bamboo would look better, plus they are from a renewable source which is more friendly to the environment.
