Drapes or Blinds for Patio Door

If you can afford both that would be best. Drapes to absorb and blinds to defuse!

My new space is windows/louvers on one side, mostly open on other side.  I’m a bit nervous hoping it’ll sonically work out 

Hunter Douglas Duetta Archilette offer fair to good sound and temperature insulation and can be motorized and programmed to open and close on schedules.

I have “S Shaped” vertical blinds on my patio door which is the wall that the speakers face. These have irregular surface and shape with a fabric finish that really helps diffuse the sound. These blinds actually look like drapes when closed. I forget the brand but levelor makes a very similar product.

I prefer blinds to drapes on a patio door as they can be adjusted to regulate the light and sound reflection.
