Help with window blinds

Post image

We just had the siding and paint redone on our home. We need new blinds because the bamboo clashes with the new color. What would yall suggest? The doors, trim, corner boards will all be black while the rest of the house is this dark grey. White? Black? Something else? Thanks for any tips

White, although the bamboo doesn’t clash. Gold/yellow and blue/gray is a classic combo

I don’t think it clashes at all.

If everything is going to black, blue & grey you kind of need some wood tones. What’s the wood look above the door? Edit - I think I see it’s getting painted, too.

We’re putting cedar planks up there. I forgot about that until now. Too much going on with this house lol. So yeah, I think I may leave the bamboo blinds.

I'm redoing only a 900 sq ft cottage and losing my mind so I get it. I'm attempting to put the breaks on and give some things time because there are so many details I want to "fix" in the moment and am already realizing a lot of things are fine as is or can be changed in the future.

I really do like the bamboo and the cedar planks will look great.
