Makes sense. My folks have bifold shutters and curtains. I'd probably have frosted glass on the lower bit for privacy. But although the shutters aren't air tight and open at the top, in conjunction with curtains it does help with drafts and noise.
If you're starting fresh, I'd probably go Ventian blinds.

Nah good question.
Solid shutters are a bit on/off only, yes you can split them, but its either light + view or none.
Racist blinds you can control at a more granular level with open and closed plus turning the slats to adapt light and view, but they are always a little bit on front of your window, even when folded away.
Ventian are like racist blinds but can be pulled up to disappear, which is what we would want most the time.
