Between Roman Shades vs Roller Shades, Roller Shades are typically more affordable than Roman Shades. This is because Roller Shades feature only a single panel of material vs the pleated styles of Roman Shades that use more material.

Venetian blinds are often made from material that naturally blocks out light. Aluminium and wooden venetian blinds are obviously more solid than fabric blinds, so you don't need to think about getting extra blackout material for them. For that reason wooden blackout blinds are very popular.

While roller blinds can come in great blackout options, hundreds of colours, and match almost any room – even the day and night option can't match venetian blinds for light control. Choosing a double roller or day and night option will give more control, but they are more expensive.

The best type of blind for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you're looking for a blind that offers privacy and light control, then vertical blinds are a good option. If you're looking for a simple and affordable blind, then roller blinds may be a better choice.
