Windows let in light and are our way to see out of our home. But they can also provide a way for those outside to see in. If this concerns you, consider some ways to dress your windows for better privacy.
Frosted, textured, or stained glass
Using an alternative to clear glass is a great way to let light into the home while increasing privacy. With a wide range of colours, patterns, and textures available, it can also add character to the home.
Shutters
If you just want to increase privacy at certain times, while allowing light in at others, shutters or screens are an excellent option. Available in a range of sizes, colours, and materials, they can fit in well with your home’s exterior. Open them to let in light and air, or close them for complete privacy. If you are considering shutters for your home, find out more information from a retailer. An internet search for your local area, like ‘Cheltenham window shutters’, will list local companies, including https://theshuttermarkets.co.uk/shutters-near-me/cheltenham/.
Curtains and blinds
Curtains and blinds will also offer flexibility in how much privacy you want at different times. With little installation work necessary, they are a cost-effective way of increasing privacy. And with an almost endless range of fabrics to choose from, they can be chosen to match the rest of your home décor.
Alternatives
Plants or ornaments on windowsills can restrict the view through the lower parts of the window, while also adding interest and personality to a room. These can be easily changed as you wish.
