Your window looks out. And looks right into your neighbor's house. Or theirs looks into yours.
It happens. Houses are close. Windows need to go somewhere. But that does not mean you have to feel like you are living in a fishbowl.
You can let light in. You can see outside. You can still have privacy.
The window that sees too much
If your window faces a neighbor's window, you see each other. You might wave. You might look away. You might close your curtains.
But closing curtains all day is not a solution. You lose the light. You lose the view. You lose the open feeling.
You need something else.
Frosted glass
Frosted glass lets light in. But it blurs the view. You can see light and shadow. You cannot see details.
Outside, it is the same. They cannot see you clearly. The window feels open. The room feels bright. But you are not on display.
Good for bathrooms. Good for bedrooms. Good for any window where you want light without being seen.
Higher windows
A window placed higher on the wall is harder to see through from the outside. Light comes in from above. The view from the street or from next door is blocked.
You get the light. They do not get the view.
Window film
You can add a film to your existing glass. It comes in many patterns. It sticks on and peels off when you want to change it.
It lets light through. It blocks the view.
A plant outside
A tall plant or a small tree near the window breaks the sight line. The neighbor cannot see directly in. You can still see out.
It takes time to grow. But it does the job naturally.
