Ok, if definitely a roof covering is planned on the south side and the 3 windows on the south are shaded by the roof covering, then you don’t need exterior venetian blinds. Since last January, we have had a terrace roof covering and now only shade the sliding door with the under-roof awning, as the sliding door is our main exit to the terrace and it is definitely too annoying to raise and lower the venetian blinds every time you want to go out. Before, we used to go out through one of the two west terrace doors and left the sliding door shaded until the sun passed. When the sun was in the west, we then raised the south ones to go outside.Good morning, Many thanks already for the numerous answers. This allowed me to learn some new things, but it sounds like exterior blinds are preferred for now. I am attaching our living room floor plan again, as I still have questions regarding this. South is, as mentioned, the three windows at the top:The window facing west will definitely keep a roller shutter. On the south side, on the long wall section, the table will be placed outside, and accordingly, we are currently planning an awning. If this were extended to cover the 2 doors next to each other, we might possibly not need any exterior blinds there, as they would be shaded by it? Or does the awning not work on the south side, or wouldn’t it provide sufficient shading? Since you should be able to go outside in the summer, it would bother me to have to raise the blinds every time. Hence the idea with the awning so that at least one door to the outside is still usable. Although then I would have to put blinds on both doors; otherwise, it looks odd. So either only the kitchen door gets exterior blinds or also the section labeled “living room.” Or do you have better ideas? P.S.: Everything that does not get exterior blinds will definitely have a roller shutter.
