Definitely shutters. They have such a neat, crisp, clean feel :)
They can look great on floor to ceiling windows too...

I love the softness curtains bring to a room. I think they add a little bit of elegance to a space. Not to mention, they are much easier to keep dust free.

I like shutters, but the take up so much floor space when fully opened. Wish I had the room!

I adore the beautiful drapes you see in English manors but because I live in the tropics shutters give me that feel and look...I am after.

its okay having shutters outside on the windows but to make a home homely you put curtains up otherwise it will look with shutters inside like a office i wouldnt feel well in something like that

The sheers look beautiful - I would have a little longer for more puddling. They look particularly lovely on the high polish floor. If you want to see a great sheer design with amazing puddling watch the movie Oblivion (Tom Cruise, Andrea Riseborough) - the movie is OK ... but those sheers are amazing!

Shutters can be very pricey. Even without floor to ceiling windows, I always go for floor length curtains. I hate the look of curtains ending midway down a wall, even if the windows do. I feel that it looks as if I could not be bothered to spend money on fabric and them room makes me think of a student residence then.
I have mixed the look in my house, with roller blinds in the one room, where we like to have all the glass to see through, but the sun can get a bit much during summer. I bought inexpensive roller blinds from Ikea, as I was not committed to the look. I have found that blinds work perfectly in this room, so will spend some time next year having some blinds custom made for the family room. The Ikea ones won't last the distance, sadly.

We have curtains in all the bedrooms, because it helps absorb nose and feels cosier and warmer in winter and I think they are better at light exclusion than plantation shutters. we also have curtains in lounge, as it helps the room feel elegant and softens the paneled walls.

We have put plantation shutters in the bathroom. They look perfect there. I thought about putting them in the room where we have the roller blinds and initially cost put me off. Ultimately, though, they would have intruded into the space when the sliders are open, so I am glad we opted not to.

If you could, temporarily put up some spare, borrowed or inexpensive curtains on a pressure rod, which are all the way to the floor. That way you can evaluate the look, without too much outlay (Ikea sells pressure rods at a very reasonable price.) If the look doesn't work for you, then you have not spent too much on curtains and you can look at spending on shutters.

Ultimately, go with your gut feel. Your house and your style and something you really want to look at every day and enjoy your choice.

Curtains for sure, easier to clean and far more elegant.

Good quality shutters are incredibly expensive. I put a set of sheers and a set of block-out curtains up when we first got our place - the sheers provided a little bit of privacy during the day, the block-outs made it cozy at night and helped block the westerly sun hitting in the afternoons. The only thing you find with sheers is that you have to have to wash them - they go a little grey.

Depending upon where you live, make sure that your curtains are an inch off the floor - we live on a main road with all the dirt and grime that comes with it and it just keeps your curtains looking that bit better longer.

100% shutters, because of the thermal qualities its definitely the way to go :) and a good supplier won't set your budget back too much.

It depends on the look your going for, but the shutters are definately going to add an earthy feel and add to insulation effects.

Both are nice, suit different situations, IMO.

Shutters, quick, tidy, clean, easy to clean, highly adjustable for lighting and privacy, but get the wide plantation ones not the skinny old style.

both products looks good

Shutters if you have a view.

I love the design! Looks nice!

I prefer curtains. Curtains bring looming beauty with wide solutions. I think shutters suit office better. Curtains suit all.
