I don't have that either and it never bothered me.
Hmm.. basically I'm also more in favor of "open" windows. Have you considered that a new house is "tighter" than before and that you can better control the heat in summer caused by solar radiation with external shading? Based on our experience in the new building during summer, I wouldn’t want to miss the blinds anymore. -> Bright and at the same time no direct sunlight.
