What kind of blinds/shades can I use for a front door?

Question

I live in an apartment and have a metal door with two small windows at the top. The windows are square and just by guessing, are probably 6 x 6 or so, give or take. I'd like to put something on my door for privacy in the evening, as you can see my bed from these two windows. Any suggestions? My neighbor has two plastic squares covering her windows but I would like something nicer. Do they make blinds this small? Or a shade? Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

You can get these vinyl or aluminum blinds in a size as small as 12"x14". Buy a blind that will cover both will look good.

Other styles of blinds are available in that size, but the vinyl mini-blinds are definitely the most economical.

You might also just consider hanging a kitchen-window-size curtain over them.

Answer 2

My brother had the same problem, He simply put a cloth type hanging on the back of the door. It covered the windows and he could move it to look out when he needed to.

Binds can be made that small, but they would most likely be expensive. Consider also a wood piece with a hinge. Plastic, like your neighbor may be your best bet.

Answer 3

Spray the inside of the window with a very light spray of silver paint. Light will still come in but will appear like a mirror on the outside.

Answer 4

Consider the style, size, and shape of the window, and what you want the blinds/shades for. Think about the room, its proportions and what it’s used for, the upholstery, and accessories.

Answer 5

How about a pretty decorative mirror or print or plaque or mosaic? Something from a craft store or Hobby Lobby or Old Time Pottery or along those lines :)
