Keep in mind that south-facing rooms will require more shading than those facing east, for example.
Consider using black-out shades for the bedroom to help you sleep and privacy blinds or half-curtains for the bathroom.
Choose motorized smart blinds that open and close at the touch of a button for the ultimate convenience.
