To help you choose between the two styles, here are the primary differences:

Blinds:
Considered hard window treatments, blinds are available in various materials, including aluminum, faux wood, vinyl, wood, and natural fabrics.
Blinds feature slats, also known as vanes, which can be tilted or angled to direct light into the room. For small space living, consider wider horizontal slats to help create the illusion of bigger windows. To maintain privacy, you can choose to keep slats completely open, partially open, or closed.



Shades:
Considered soft window treatments, shades are available in multiple styles including: Roman shades, honeycomb/cell shades, and blackout.
A versatile style, shades come in a wide range of textures, patterns, and fabric weights.
Unlike blinds, shades are typically controlled by a pull-chord mechanism, which means they can only be raised or lowered.
