Hello,
I have a question where I find it a bit difficult to make a decision. My ground floor mostly consists of an L-shaped open kitchen, dining, and living area of about 57m2.
On the northwest exterior wall, I have 3 windows. Two of them are in the dining area and are floor-to-ceiling, and one window is in the kitchen area with the usual sill height. The windows are symmetrically distributed on the wall. Since this side faces the street and the sidewalk is 3 meters away, I would actually like to install [Raffstores] on the two floor-to-ceiling windows to create the option for privacy screening if desired. For the far right kitchen window, I don’t see the need and tend to opt for a roller shutter.
Do you think that looks strange both from the inside and outside?

On the other side of the room (southeast), there is only a large sliding door to the terrace. To enable shading, a [Raffstore] will definitely be installed here.
From the outside, to the right of the sliding door, there is another door leading from the cloakroom to the terrace. Since this is a passage room, I would also prefer a roller shutter here.

Do you think these combinations of roller shutters and [Raffstores] look strange, from outside or inside?
Does anyone else have such a combination and can report whether it was a good decision afterwards?

We are currently implementing the following solution:

The garden is on the south side. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are located there. All windows on the south side will get [Raffstores] (for the reasons you mentioned). In the living room, there will also be ones that can darken the room significantly more so that it does not disturb when watching TV if necessary.

All other windows on the ground floor will not have any roller shutters (saves costs and is unnecessary for us since we install very long but low windows). We will use [Plissees] there, which can also be used for sun protection or to prevent views from outside.

We are getting venetian blinds on the ground floor and roller shutters on the upper floor. The lady wakes up if even a single photon gets into the bedroom. Therefore, venetian blinds simply don’t work there. On the ground floor, they are used because of the nicer light control.

Combined floor by floor and in the same color, it absolutely doesn’t look silly. I have looked at it several times now. Even individual, smaller windows (e.g., the WC on the ground floor) with roller shutters, while all others on the floor have venetian blinds, doesn’t look out of place. You see it quite often.

I would stick to a single type per side. The thing is that the boxes for the venetian blinds and roller shutters have different designs, which can lead to different installation levels and that looks odd. We have venetian blinds on the ground floor and venetian blinds facing south on the upper floor, and roller shutters facing east and west. In hindsight, it probably would have been better to do it the other way around, since not much needs to be blocked on the south side anyway due to the high position of the sun.

Today while running, I paid special attention. I saw a new building that had a roller shutter on one side by the small window and a venetian blind on the door in the living area. Yes, it looks different but not bad. The windows were anthracite and the venetian blind and roller shutter were the same color in aluminum natural or silver.

We also mixed. But one should really consider that not only different levels occur, but also different "sizes" when the cutouts in the walls are actually executed in line; due to different rails and so on, the width and height often vary. That was not easy at all for our color design!
