Surprising Ways Interior Designers Love Window Film

If you’ve toyed with interior design yourself, you might want to know why interior designers love window film! There are lots of reasons, so we’ll just cover a few of the top reasons. And yes, some of them will probably surprise you! We’ve talked about interior design before, and you might like What Happens When You Use Window Film in Your Interior Design.

There are so many color choices

We’ve said it before–it’s not your grandma’s (or even your mom’s)–window film any more. So many things have changed, and one of them is that there are now color choices! You might even consider doing some sort of color blocking with your window film. Have a little fun–life is short!

Adds privacy without competing with design choices

You or your interior designer can add window film to an interior window and you’ll hardly know the window film is there! Just like your introvert friend, window film can be quiet and take its cue from everything else in the room. We often say that you don’t even know it’s there! That is, unless you want to know it’s there. By the way, did you know that there’s a fun show about Interior Designers? Interior Design Masters is a BBC show (probably on Netflix, too).

Hides messy areas

Hey, glass kitchen cabinet doors, we’re talking to you! If your collection of thermoses and drink cups keeps growing, why not hide that clutter behind some window film? Interior designers hate clutter just as much as any else. Maybe they hate it more! With some designers we know, the first thing they do before creating any design is get rid of the clutter. And yet (sigh) some people refuse to part with their collections of old sippy cups. If that’s you, or you have some other collection, know that you can use window film to hide things. You could also start to eliminate the clutter yourself!

Adds gentle light diffusion

Have you ever noticed that some scenes look better through filtered or diffused light? Maybe you don’t want to see your neighbor’s Harley every single morning. No offense to Harley owners intended. Or maybe you’d like to hide that you spend most of the day in a bathrobe. You can cover entire banks of windows, or even cover half a window.

Creates natural looks

If you’ve opted for a certain style, like midcentury modern, or Japandi, your window film can match that natural style. We love all the different choices in window film that can reflect your unique style. Your window film can be quiet, loud, colorful, design-wise, and make you happy. Really.
