There are the vertical veneation blinds and the roll up window shades. The
latter are spring loaded and can be put up at various stages, but do not allow

the most part, and they will serve your purpose nicely.

Aloha Claudia,
A few thoughts.
I find that the vertical blinds, the ones that run from the top of
the window to the bottom, are much easier to clean. When I first had
mine installed, I rubbed them down with a bounce dryer sheet and
since then, dusting them with something like a wash cloth,
