Bamboo, I have Bamboo blinds and I love them. Also, bamboo tends to be cheaper!

I think the bamboo blinds because you don’t want the room to be to dark. Add alittle contrast.

I have been looking at new homes recently and they have the 2″ wood blinds in them and I have fallen in love with them. They block out light real well and look very nice. The bamboo blinds seem easy to fray, not as clean looking as wood blinds. Good Luck

I say go for the one that does not match the other colors to closely.. you want people to notice the blinds… but at the same time.. you don’t want window covers that say “look at me” in a bad, gawdy.. ugly way…

Bamboo. I think it’s good to go lighter in the windows… makes the room look bigger.

bamboo would look better, plus they are from a renewable source which is more friendly to the environment.

I think that the bamboo would be more visually interesting, and not too matchy-matchy with the couches.
It depends, though, on the overall look you’re going for. If your look is “country”, then bamboo would just be weird! If you’re going for a contemporary (Pottery Barn-esque) look or an Asian-influenced “zen retreat” feel, then I think bamboo blinds would definitely be the best fit.

I would go with white. You have too much dark.
