How can I add privacy to my entryway?

Do you have a photo? I'm a bit confused as to how it isn't private if it is inside your apartment.

In general, curtains or changing screen are excellent for creating privacy. A bookcase or tall piece of furniture will also serve as a piece to separate 2 spaces with added privacy.

Diane: you could buy or make an open bookcase. Bonus: storage!

If I understand correctly, you want to prevent someone at your door from seeing the rest of your home when you answer your front door. I would recommend using a pretty room divider screen and a well placed large plant to screen off incidental views of your home.

A photo or better explanation would help. Does the door have glass? Can outsiders see inside? Is the entryway a common area. Door glass can be covered with curtains, window film, or contact paper. Need more information.

A piece of Lattice braced on "feet" you can weave scarves through it - solk flowers and/or small hooks for extra storage.

could you add curtains?

Does your entryway have windows? If so, you could add some stick-on film to make your windows frosted. There are also other patterns you could try. If you don't have windows, a picture might help us give you the best advice on what to do. :-)

Can you add a tension rod with a sheer curtain at the beginning of the hallway/entrance area? As long as it is not right at the doorway.

Hi Diane,

If you have glass you want to cover , use Contact for Glass or Clings or Curtains, otherwise it is a screen. Best wishes.

A picture of your setup would help a lot, it would be easier if we could see what you are seeing.

Here goes...there are removable shields you can put on glass, if that is what you have, many beautiful patterns at diy stores and of course Amazon. Or think about how restaurants have the blinds that customers can see out of and no one can see in, that might work.

Another vote for “pictures please”.

You could make a folding screen with pvc plumbing & fabric panels.

Here is a method for peepholes:

Is it a window that you want to cover or something just inside where when the door is open everyone cannot see into your home.

If it is a window you can buy film to put on the glass. https://amzn.to/2UOpeoZ

If it is the later consider standing a folding screen next to the door to create a wall so when someone walks in you have a little foyer and people cannot see right into your house.
