ᐅ Combining External Venetian Blinds and Roller Shutters on a House

Hello,
I have a question that I’m having some trouble deciding on. My ground floor mostly consists of an L-shaped open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area of about 57m2 (613 sq ft).
On the northwest-facing exterior wall, there are three windows. Two of them are floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining area, and one window in the kitchen area is set at a standard sill height. The windows are symmetrically arranged along the wall. Since this side faces the street and the sidewalk is about 3m (10 feet) away, I would like to install external venetian blinds (Raffstores) on the two floor-to-ceiling windows to allow for privacy when needed. For the far right kitchen window, I don’t see the need for that and am leaning towards an external roller shutter instead.
Do you think this will look strange from both the inside and the outside?
On the other side of the room (southeast), there is only one large sliding door leading to the terrace. To provide shading here, an external venetian blind will definitely be installed.
From the outside, to the right of the sliding door, there is another door leading from the cloakroom to the terrace. Since this is a passageway, I would prefer to have an external roller shutter here as well.
Do you think this combination of roller shutters and external venetian blinds looks odd from the outside or inside?
Does anyone else have such a combination and can share whether it turned out to be a good decision?

We are also planning to mix external venetian blinds on the ground floor with roller shutters on the upper floor. How did you decide on the slat colors? Did you go with the same color for both? And if so, which color did you choose?We chose aluminum colors for both. But honestly, it doesn’t really matter since the venetian blinds get covered with pollen every year, so the color is hardly noticeable anyway. We specifically avoided anthracite because the pollen stands out even more on that color than on aluminum tones.
Yesterday, we saw our external venetian blinds live for the first time, and I’m really happy that we chose RAL 9007 for the aluminum cover casings of the windows, rails, window sills, and the venetian blinds/roller shades. There is a slight color difference between the venetian blinds and the windows, but that is also due to the different surface textures.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos yet, as it was just a quick test during installation.
