Great work as always. I remember a while back you posted how you modeled the mini blinds.  Do you mind sharing that information again? I have a project where I need to do a similar scene with blinds on the window.  My first attempt was not very successful.

 

Thanks!

Remember that each slat is curved. So, create an arc and extrude it into a surface. Then copy it loads of times and finally add some strings.

Make sure you angle the slats to create some shadow, but not block out all the direct sunlight.

If you create them as blocks, you would only need to adjust one (within the block definition) to adjust them all.
