Privacy for windows at home at night
Hiya! I live in the city and I love natural light. Most of my windows have vinyl privacy film over them (there's some gorgeous faux painted glass etc ones!), but I'm having a hard time trying to find something for my front and back window. I don't want the same type of vinyl on those because I want to be able to see out of them at all times. But every type of privacy mirror type film only works during the day when it's for sure brighter outside. Unfortunately that means if I have my light on then there may as well not be a mirror film on the window, even if my porch light is on (inside room has more concentrated light so it's brighter than porch light). I always hear stories about Airbnbs with these trick mirrors that you can't see through, but I can't figure out how to find such material? Do I have to go full on tint? Because even that is confusing and I'm having a hard time finding a tint that would work without being $300+... I know they make glass specifically for this, but I rent so I can't do anything that can't be undone. Ideas? submitted by /u/Ok-Commercial2869 [link] [comments]
