[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to have roman shades but recently switched to cellular shades I had cut to the exact measurements of my windows.  They are insulating and look great.

I think that roller shades and woven (roman) shades would also look good.  It sounds like you have a modern farmhouse vibe going.  [/quote]

Thanks. When we moved in, there were ripped and broken old cellulars, which is currently what we still have and why Im prioritizing this project. Im not sure exactly what our style is because we are pretty much trying to update everything. Were adding all oil rubbed bronze hardware throughout the house, getting a craftsman front door, need new rugs and couches and are staying in the blues/grey family. Adding higher chair rail and shadowboxes to our dining room. Our living room has a brick floor to ceiling brick fireplace. We want to update the mantel in some way. Id day when all is said and done, it will be a modern rustic/farmhouse vibe.[/quote]

you're going to need texture and something to warm up the shiplap, brick and blue/grey.  I would go with woven grass in a natural color (not stained dark, not bleached lighter).  I see these in all kinds of houses and they always look great to me.  I have used them in our bungalow beach house that has a boho vibe as well as here in our family home in Arlington that is more updated traditional.  I've also used them in the bleached/white for one house where we needed them to "disappear" whether up or down against the light walls, yet they still succeeded in bringing in texture and warmth.

I agree with you the plantation and white wood slats will block light and feel cold.[/quote]

Thanks so much for this helpful response! 
I should have specificed more, in terms of decor, we are trying to do pops of blue, coral, mustard type color scheme with grey and blue couches depending on the rooms. We just are in the beginning phase of it all so its not done yet. I would like the window treatments to add texture and give the room a finished feel, while still being neutral enough for us to be able to change decor color as needed/wanted.[/quote]
