I live with vertical blinds ~ in my living room & master bedroom no less. Can you tell I am not a fan? But since I rent, I am stuck with them. They stay open pretty much 24/7 & most days I hardly notice them due to the million dollar view of Lake Norman I have from both rooms.
Although verticals are still available for purchase, they really are so last century & most designers would never suggest them. When selling your home, you want to update the outdated if at all possible.
This is the before picture of a foreclosure that was purchased to flip ~

And, the after ~

Not much was spent replacing the verticals with blinds, but the change is extremely buyer friendly.
With so many affordable & stylish drapes & other window treatments out there ~ like those at Ikea ~ it is time to ditch the verticals.
