My wife and I are having a house built in New Jersey, and I have some
questions about the most energy efficient types of blinds,drapes etc.

The house has forced air central heating and wood framed therma-pane
windows.

Given this set up, does anyone have any recommendations as to the type
of window coverings we should use. To maximise heat retention in Winter
and minimize heat absorption in the summer. Looks are important ie we're
not wanting to put up silver and black coverings.

I will summarize if there is much response.
