If you take these down, what do you think your other choices might be to provide privacy and or sun control?

I was wondering of other blinds, but not striped...Something like on the picture...They are complete blackout thou...And also, you can roll them up and down if needed as well..Plus it is an interesting design (unlike the Zebra ones..)...Just different thoughts.. :)

They have a nice and clean design but they don't seem classic to me. I would call these contemporary, for sure. Since I lean more towards classic a solid semi-sheer window treatment or solid covering with a bit of texture to the material would be worthy of the investment (IMO).

Oh yea, I am sure they are contemporary. I guess i spelled it wrong and meant classy (like timeless) in way - sorry! Thanks for your advice!

Please excuse typos, my fingers are not functioning correctly today!

I would probably use plantation shutters at your window.

Plantation Shutters would look great! I recommend non-wood shutters. Hunter Douglas has a great wood blind alternative, called Palm Beach Shutters, that are meant for uses in bathrooms and other places where wood might warp!
