It is a common problem in a family home zone that the window of the kitchen or the bathroom is oriented to the neighbor\u2019s garden, so anybody might look in. Here are some ideas how to keep the curious eyes away our private life.
\nCurtain is an obvious solution. It\u2019s not quite simple in a wet room with a commonly small window. The coffee curtain covers only the lower part of the window. We can look out in standing position, but it hides the room from outside. It doesn\u2019t darken the room and can be made of various fabrics (lace, voile, vintage tea towel, burlap etc.). We can fix it to the window frame without drilling by its rod.
\nPleated blind can be ordered of many types of fabrics, even in black-out version. The pattern and color assortment is wide. Its advantage is mobility in both directions, so we can choose the desired coverage of the window. If there is no need to cover, we can simply push it above like an ordinary blind.
\nWindow foil is a good choice if we do not want to use fabric in the room. It is self-adhesive, can be applied easily. It can be ordered with unique pattern or bought ready-made. The main disadvantage is blocking the view. If applied at only the lower part of the window, we can look out above it, just like in the case of sash-curtain. We can also handpaint motifs on the glass of the window using glass-paint and stencils.
\nAn extraordinary solution is using thin metal chains instead of curtain. Hang the chain links (instead of clips) on the hooks of the curtain rod. It can be cut easily to the desired length if it was pre-measured. Chain lets the light through and partially blocks looking out (it depends on the density). The chains can be also applied to a coffee curtain rod by small rings. This solution is used usually for separating parts of a big space, but it\u2019s perfect for windows too. We can choose a fibre of glass beads or crystals instead of metal.
\nAn inner shutter is a clever and unique answer to the problem. If we don\u2019t need any cover, simply leave it open. The window doesn\u2019t have to be opened for using the inner shutter (unlike the outdoor one) which is useful in winter time. It can cover only the lower part of the window either, this way light comes in while it is closed.
\nAsk for help of an interior designer if encountering such problems.<\/p>\n
