window privacy ideas?

Allison McCarron

We have a large window in our living space and we enjoy the views of the trees outside. The only problem is from an angle we also have a view straight into the neighbours deck and house :-) Any ideas for a discreet window covering ?

Maybe a white roller blind that you an see out of but they can’t see into. Or a soft white linen sheer curtain.

build an L shaped awning on the top and side of the outside of the window that projects out to screen the view to the side...btw i imagine if you can see the neighbours they can also see in so you may also want an internal roller blind for night time privacy

I thought those were gum trees outside that window that's why I asked. I'm from Perth. I got my blinds through Spotlight made to measure. They came out to do the quote and were very helpful and had a great range to choose from. Also, you may have even more options if you go through a company that specialises in window treatments. Check out your options.

Hi poppy, we added slatted screens, ours are powder coated but you can us wood as well. Lots of articles in Houzz, there was some vertical slatted ideas just recently. There are also the laser cut screens. Depends what style you are after, you can place a couple of pots in front on them to make your area stylish and a place where you want sit

Thank all so much for your help Soil testing will be great idea. As it does not matter how small or large I plant the back of the trees or plants always Die. yesterday I spent chopping again at the back of the plants to save them. I do have dogs so it is a big concern when they are in this area of the back yard. I caught him leaning over the fence with a big white pump spraying the neighbours trees and handed photos to Police and the neighbour. Thank god for smart phones. He told police he was watering the trees. so he did get a big warning. I have beautiful parrots that come every day to eat and sit in my other trees. I love watching and listening to them from my balcony.

a quick look on HOUZZ revealed many photos of similar ideas... you may like to check out "garden colonnade or climbing roses" for inspiration and i'll keep looking for something suitable..the idea is to build the structure tall enough so that the top is way above the height of the existing fence and you could also add horizontal panels of lattice as well as the climbers to obscure the neighbours' roof and your shrub roses can be planted between the colonnade and the fence The neighbour's structure looks like it's attempting to block out your house it's just not tall enough...

A gorgeous screen would look stunning and look beautiful day and night, it would give privacy and not hinder your view.

Hi Allison, the issue with blinds or sheers that enable you to see out and gives some extent of privacy during the day, they won’t provide the privacy at nighttime. What is the most appropriate solution will depend on the level of privacy you want (from neighbour seeing some details inside, to total ‘you’re naked’ privacy!) and how/when you use the space and fitting in with the style of your home.

Is the neighbour the white building that can be seen in the bottom RHS of the window? If so, and it is just privacy from them that you are requiring from a window treatment, can external screening like non invasive bamboo planting along the boundary be an alternative option?
