How to Easily Get Privacy For Windows Without Blinds
Do you have windows or doors in your home that you want to make a little more private?
I have two glass doors that lead into our backyard - the only problem? They also lead my neighbors' eyes into my home. To fix it, I came up with a simple faux frosted glass trick that gives my windows privacy without using blinds!
1. Measure
First, take out your tape measure or ruler and measure the glass surface area that you will be covering.
2. Cut the privacy film into squares
Once you have your dimensions, decide what shape or pattern you'd like to create for your frosted glass pieces. The simple shape I chose (which you can see in the video) was simple to cut and line up accurately.
Lay out your contact adhesive paper and cut your shapes out quickly by following the guidelines.
3. Apply the contact paper
After cleaning your window with glass cleaner, begin applying your contact paper pieces. I advise working from the bottom up if you are covering a large-scale door or window.
In the video, you can see how simple it was to get the design I wanted. Using a steady hand and a careful eye, peel off the backing of your contact paper and stick your pieces on one by one, lining them up as you go.
