That way I can have privacy and have the open window look in my living room.
I absolutely hate blinds with a passion. I think that no matter what blind you purchase it looks terrible. They are a paint to clean and to operate. Curtains aren’t much better either. You need to constantly clean them and they always seem to let in a little bit of light. I wasn’t keen on the idea of drilling holes into my house for blind installation or rods for curtains. I looked up solutions on how to have privacy but not use blinds or curtains. More and more people are doing window tinting now for privacy. That is adding a window film that is a darker shade over the glass. It doesn’t affect your vision inside of the house, but outside of it. So people walking up to the house only see blackened windows and it offers you some privacy. They have all sorts of window tints that do amazing things. There are energy efficient window films and sun control window films. There are more decorative ones that show patterns and offer different colors. I went with a light gray window film to all my glass facing the road. That way I can have privacy and have the open window look in my living room. I love that I don’t have any maintenance or upkeep with the film. It was a one time job and I don’t need to worry about it for a few more years. I will have perfect privacy for a long way to come. I have even thought of adding the film to the bathroom.
