Congrats! That's an amazing achievement!

no curtains match anywhere

When we moved to our current place I learnt so much about styles of curtains and blinds. We've got rolling blinds and pull string blinds and curtains big and small. I remember saying it felt like a curtain shop with all the different curtains.

Thankyou :)

I've never really been too bothered about the curtains as long as they were functional, but now I think I might have to look into it a bit more. It's nice to have the choice. We'll probably stick with curtains (blackout ones of some kind probably) - I remember blinds looking nice, but being a pain in the ass to clean once they got dusty.

The blinds with strings are so annoying to use. When we needed to replace curtains in one room we ended up replacing with a blind with a chain to roll it up/down, and it's so noisy!

Only gonna get curtains in future.
