I have 2 windows and a French door in the shop. the previous owner installed this roll up blinds covers. I don't know if I should put some kind of blind or curtains. I don't want curtains unless they are something I like and looks good. what do you guys have on your windows?

Dust Traps or Dust Magnets

Too much work goes on in my shop for any thing fancy like that but if it were me I would opt for some thing that cleans easily like those 2" wide blinds

I'm putting cellular blinds in the "office" section upstairs and the shop is getting the aluminum ones from Home Depot that they cut to fit your window. Had those in my last shop and they worked well and looked ok.

Cheapie aluminum ones on my two windows......enforces the "What goes on in the shop, STAYS in the shop" mantra.

Are you doing it to block light or block vision from people peeking in? The only windows in my garage are on the garage doors, I used frosted contact paper. Works good to filter light coming in and blocks the view from prying eyes. Same can be done for regular windows. But if I had to choose between curtains or blinds I go with blinds.
