What do you think of horizontal wood blinds on a sliding patio door?

I’m planning of putting up some horizontal wood blinds on my glass sliding door off my dining room. I like the look and was wondering if anyone else has done this. My furniture is dark cherry traditional so I’m thinking of going with a cream colored blind with brown tape. I had cherry wood blinds before, but they are too much work to keep clean. Is it just a a matter of taste? I’m also leaning with a touch of British Colonial in that room so I thought it would look nice. I don’t want shutters and I thought the wood would look nice and the color would stand the test of time. Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks
