Recently we were reading an article from House Beautiful about how to create privacy and noticed what they said this about windows. In the article “Victoria McKenney of Enviable Designs likes to create privacy with windows made of leaded glass or with opaque accents.” However, one thing missing from the article was the use of window film! Let us explain.

Use window film with design elements

We’ve written about the many kinds of design elements you can choose from with window film. For instance, do you like polka dots or stripes? 3M Fasara decorative window film comes with both polka dots and stripes (as well as hundreds of other design types), so you can look super modern. And if you can’t decide, you can even combine designs (dots plus stripes? Are we dreaming?)!

Have you seen any window film lately?

When window film is doing its best work, it’s invisible. You’ll probably forget you even have window film. Sometimes it’s hard for us to talk about window film just because it’s usually invisible when it’s doing its job. If you really had to, you could walk up to a window with film on it, and touch the edge of the film, just to ensure that it’s there. But otherwise you would not see it!

Frosted films keep prying eyes away

You can use film on an exterior window so your neighbors can’t see in, but you can also use that same film on interior walls (such as shower doors), in case you have kids running around the house. Or you could use frosted film on kitchen cabinets to hide all those ugly mismatched water bottles that you refuse to throw away. Hey! Have you read about spring cleaning (yeah, it’s not spring anymore, but maybe you could make an exception just to get rid of those water bottles!)?

Lets in the sun without the UV rays

If you don’t want to lose your views, you can still have privacy and also lose the UV rays! Yes, you can have it all. And maybe you could also lose those ugly curtains while you’re at it. They’re just sitting there gathering dust, aren’t they?

Match your decor with window film

Some of our favorite window films are the beautiful Asian-style bamboo window films. Whether your decor is Asian or mid century modern, there’s a window film that can match! You may want something subtle, or you may want a big splashy design. Either way, there’s a window film that can match or mirror your design.
