I'd probably choose the top one, but it really depends on your paint colors and other decor.

I think the top one is nice, and Torreykm stated what I was thinking.

top one for me as well

I like the top one too, but you can't go wrong with either choice. I've been told that woven blinds are see through at night, when it is brighter inside than out, and that a liner will solve that problem.

My interior color palette is whites, grays with some warmer light brown tones. Very light and airy inside. Finishes and fixtures, lots of black metals and glass. I have attached a couple of pictures to give an idea of my style and color palette.

@Patricia, are solar shades available in a natural woven material?

Hey There: Thanks for showing the inside of your home. Even you talk about roller shades - have you considered bottom up top down minimalistic shades? There is not cord across the glas and you can adjust it to any position in your window you like. Available in hundreds of colors and for sure the perfect one to pick up your coastal farmhouse theme...
