Vertical or horizontal? Light cream if you want to allow light in when closed. Do you have to have access - waklking through them?

Sheer De-liteBlinds are a versatile alternative to traditional Venetian and Roller Blinds. This revolutionary blind is crafted from lightweight sheer fabrics that combine opaque and transparent strips to form a double layered blind. The unique design of Sheer De-lite Blinds allows the layers to move between varying levels of light control and privacy so you can completely close them or open them to allow a view between the strips. Available in a variety of fashion colours, Sheer De-lite Blinds help soften daylight by reducing glare and light entering the room. These Blinds can also be raised or lowered to the desired height in the window just like Roller Blinds.

There is no right answer! It largely depends on the room and what you are looking to accomplish. If your budget is such that you can only have one, I would opt for a blind or shade so you can create some privacy and light control. You can always add drapery later to create a soft touch. If you have some pictures to upload I would be happy to give you some suggestions. Best of luck...
