Curtains vs blinds: which do you prefer and why?

I'm trying to decide between curtains and blinds for my living room. Curtains feel cozy, soft, and homey, you know? But blinds seem more practical, easier to clean, and maybe a bit more modern looking. I had curtains before and they collected so much dust (ugh), but blinds can sometimes feel a little cold or office-y. What's your experience been like with either of these? Curious what others prefer and why.
