Hello, We sell both so I have no reason to suggest one over the other. However, yes Roller blinds are very functional and right on trend for a modern decor. He is absolutely correct. Its not just the window furnishings that create softness to a room. You could even automate them for about the same cost as buying curtains. We do a lot of homes with double roller blinds right thought. However if you like curtains there is nor reason you shouldn't have them. Its your home and you need to love been there. It really comes down to picking the right fabrics and pleat types to work with your look. Blinds are great in smaller spaces and can achieve a clean lined open look wheres curtains can soften a room and add warmth .. be ware that curtains can close a room in and make it appear smaller. It can also make furniture placement difficult. Might I suggest a mix? Sheer curtains hung from the ceiling with a roller blinds behind can look very sleek in apartments. You can have the best of both :) I would just suggest you don't go with anything too "fussy" keep the lines clean and don't go to full with your curtains. You don't want lots of fabric cluttering your room. Here's an apartment with automated rollers. Another with just rollers. Here's a space with a mix. still very modern. A child's room with a mix of rollers and Chain Drive Roman Blinds. Great for reducing daytime heat. Day time privacy and the roman Blinds is block out to help them sleep. Roman Blinds are great for kids rooms as the add softness, are practical and you can place furniture below the windows. Another example Hope this was at all helpful ;)

Cookbooks will live forever in my kitchen. I will always clip recipes from mags, papers etc. to put in my organised folder. You have to file anything you print out online & sometimes with the picture & that's if you can print it out. So I say keep those cookbooks they are always so well presented and a pleasure to look through. Mine have little sticky notes everywhere, for recipes I have yet to use. I also collect recipes from the Coles & Woolies books at the checkout. If I like the sound of it I keep it.

Your window treatment plan sounds both chic and functional! It's great how you've found a balance between privacy and a minimalist aesthetic.
