Is your life style such that you raise your shades in the morning and lower them at night, or do you want some coverage during the day for sun glare and a degree of privacy?

Do you want the convenience of remote controlled shades for high windows, windows in front of the bathtub, or just for ease of use? Do you want to add color and fabric to your windows with your shades, or merely use them for their functional nature? Is the view outdoors and the light that comes in important to you, or do you have a less than desirable view out your window that you want to diffuse?
