How can I make a window private?

Question

I rent and have a half-circle window on my front door and I live alone. What can I do to keep people from looking in, and were I can still see who is knocking?

Answer 1

Curtains?

Answer 2

I saw some really nice window film at Home Depot that makes your window look like stained glass. They had different designs, you cut it to fit.

Answer 3

Put one-way mirror film over the window... You can buy in most hardware stores, allowing you to see out, but they can't see in.

Answer 4

Any home improvement store will have a section of this peel and stick stuff, like contact paper, that you can put on glass. Some patterns are like stained glass and are real pretty.

Answer 5

A piece of window tinting for cars, where you can see out and they only see their reflection.

Answer 6

there is a product that you can buy at most home inprovment stores that you can stick to the window....makes window blury looking from outside

Answer 7

A trick that I learned from my uncle...hang blinds but w/ the slates facing up instead of down. You can see out but they can't see in.

Answer 8

i would get the landlord's permission to see if it's ok for either a curtain or tint the window.

Answer 9

Just hang a semi-sheer curtain over it.

Answer 10

if you want it really private and dark, put aluminum foil over it. night workers do it so they can sleep in the day.
