If you have low windows, tint or frost them

If you have very low windows in your living space and you feel people can see straight in, frost or tint your windows as this it will make it impossible to see through. 

Or, you can add reflective materials to the window’s external side so nobody can see inside. 

Add a sheer curtain too

Adding a sheer curtain as well as Roman blinds will enable you to still have light coming through your living space, but nobody will be able to see in. You will find it difficult to see out too, as the sheer curtain can be hard to see through. However, this will enable you to achieve a light and airy space while feeling private and relaxed. 

Install taller trees or fences

Installing taller trees and/or fences to the outside of your home will make it much harder for neighbours or people walking past to see into your home. 

It will enhance your privacy and guarantee that you feel more comfortable and relaxed while spending time in your living room, even if you leave the window dressings open.

Reposition your furniture

If the current position of your furniture faces toward the window, you might wish to face it away from the window or sideways so you feel more private. You will not constantly find yourself looking out of the window and instead, focusing on enjoying and relaxing in your living room. Best of all repositioning your furniture is a free and effective way of refreshing your living space and ensuring you feel it is more private.
