Roller Blind
These have been popular since the 18th Century.
A roller blind is basically a stiff fabric wound onto a (usually) wooden roller, which incorporates a spring mechanism so that the blind can be raised or lowered to any position then released to recoil to its top rolled up state.
It has a firm lath at the bottom to keep it straight, and the base is often decorated with frills, braid, fringing and accessories.
They can be made of waterproof substances for bathrooms and kitchens and most are sponge cleanable, typically made of fabric or vinyl.
They provide a very neat and tidy look and can be used on their own or have curtains over them.

Conventional-blinds roll from the back exposing the roller at the front, reverse-roll blinds roll from the front with the roller behind, and just to be different, bottom up blinds can be fixed to the windowsill and pulled upwards. |
