According to thermal dynamics you want any in the shade pointed downward (front down, back up) otherwise there will be a cooling effect of the warm upper air. Any windows in direct sunlight, except on the coldest days you want to point upward as solar radiation will warm the air/blinds and help keep your house heated.

you want the rounded (convex) part of the blinds to face inside the house. The concave part should be facing outside. Heat rises, and there is a better barrier if the convex part of the rounded part of the blind faces inside the house

[outside heat] ) [inside house]

Decorate To Save On Electric Bill?

A good set of blinds or curtains can make it easy to save on electric bill expenses. Blinds can help to block light, which may heat the home and require cooling during warmer months. Thicker blinds block more light than thin, inexpensive blinds, making them an ideal upgrade for the home. Some blinds may be recommended as better than others for blocking light or drafts. In addition to blinds, curtains can be used to keep out unwanted light and cold air. Gauzy curtains may be used for a diffused light while heavier curtains can block light and keep out cold air.

Do wood blinds offer any more heat insulation than plastic or metal window blinds?

Wood blinds do offer more heat insulation than plastic or metal blinds because wood is a natural insulator. This helps to keep the heat inside during the winter months and block out heat during the summer. However, the difference in insulation may not be significant in terms of energy savings for your home.
