Take a look around your home. Are there any areas where enhancing natural light would be helpful? What about that curtain-induced dark corner by the entryway? Or a ground-level window with broken blinds where you need privacy, but don’t know how to achieve that without bulky window coverings?
In 2024, there are SO many options for creating privacy without blocking valuable, mood-lifting sunlight. What are you waiting for? Let’s learn more about decorative window films so you and your home can benefit!
Let’s start with the front door. There are countless designs and styles for the entry to your home. If you’ve got a solid door without windows, or windows that are covered so no one can see in, open that up! Don’t be afraid to add glass to your front door.
Frosted film can cover windowpanes, which diffuses natural light, but makes it impossible for anyone to see in. Paying to have glass sandblasted or acid-etched is expensive, and permanent. However, window film can be changed according to current trends.
Next, there is the kitchen. Do you have glass-front cabinets that showcase dishes that you’re not necessarily trying to put on display? Decorative window film to the rescue again!
According to this article by This Old House, “Glass-front kitchen cabinets look great but they can expose mismatched dinnerware or cluttered shelves. Frosted or patterned window film provides an elegant solution… Kitchens can get messy, so we recommend looking for durable and easy-to-clean film.”
Moving on to the bathroom- there are many uses for decorative window film in here! Not only can you add character to your exterior window with decorative films (think creatively here!), but you can also frost your shower door to create privacy while still letting in light. Your bathroom house plant will appreciate the extra light too!
In the article, This Old House brings up helpful hints. “When selecting a frosted film for your shower door, consider factors such as water resistance, opacity level, and how easy it is to clean. The right film can help prevent water spots and make cleaning easier by hiding water droplets and streaks.”
Let’s keep going. How about decorative window film in the home office? Not only will diffusing the natural light from exterior windows cut down on glare on your screens, but it also provides a relaxing, bright atmosphere, without using harsh overhead lighting.
How about solutions for glass-front cabinets again? If your office has a cluttered feel because your paperwork or books are exposed and are hard to straighten up daily, create a more organized feel by hiding it behind some decorative film. Your office will start to feel more cohesive pretty quickly!
And finally, of course decorative window film can benefit your bedroom. According to the article:
“Consider these factors when choosing privacy film for your home’s exterior windows:
- Design compatibility: Choose patterns or textures that complement your home’s architectural style.
- Durability: Look for films designed to withstand exposure to sunlight and weather conditions.
- Light transmission: Select a film that lets in adequate natural light while obscuring the view from the outside.”
Decorative window films come in numerous textures, colors, designs, and opacities. From ornate designs to classic frosts, you can count on decorative window films to update your space, add light, and protect your privacy.
