My neighbours could see right into my home – but I found a brilliant privacy film for £7 & now my windows look beautiful
ARE you sick and tired of neighbours being able to see inside your home.
One woman decided to take matters into her own hands after being frustrated at people being able to see into the room where she gets changed.
The social media user, who posts under @loganvalifexo, uploaded a clip showing how she has installed a privacy film on her windows.
And it wasn’t just any old film.
She shared how she was “obsessed” with the beautiful floral design, which resembled a stained-glass window.
The woman added: “This is just my guest room, I wanted full privacy from neighbours.”
She picked up the film from Amazon, and you can pick up similar designs on the UK page for just £7.99.
The description for one rainbow-hued design reads: “With special irregular kaleidoscope patterns, this stained glass window film casts little rainbows in the room, when the sun pours through, brings you a unique decoration with rainbow dazzles around the room.
“The film itself does not actually have any colour, it will show a colourful visual effect when light hits.
“You can apply this window film privacy patterned in minutes without hassle, only enough water, scissors, scraper or towel are needed.”
Her clip has racked up over 57,000 likes, and people were impressed with her DIY hack.
One person wrote: “Thank you for sharing! Great idea for kids room and keeping them safe.”
Another added: “Wait that is gorgeous.”
A third commented: “I put that in my bathroom window and it’s such a vibe.”
We previously shared how a woman bought a budget £3 privacy film to stop her neighbours peeking in her house, and it was a game-changer in the heatwave too.
TikTok user Flo said “mirror windows” not only are great for privacy, but keep her house cold too.
In a video that has racked up 67,000 likes, she wrote: “When everyone’s moaning about the heat but you put £3 mirror windows on when you first moved in cos you didn’t want people seeing inside & now your house is cold cos the heat can’t get in.”
Flo added in the caption: “Deffo better than the tin foil trend.
“You still see out, doubles up as a privacy/ heat barrier, leave it on forever & when you leave – you peel it off!
“And probably cheaper than using loads of tin foil!”
