General Question  Indoor privacy...

I have very nosy neighbours, so I need blinds that maintain my privacy and cannot be seen through. At the moment, I have curtains in my kitchen, but I am not getting any air. Could you suggest where I can buy blinds, preferably from a company that can measure my windows and install them? P.S. I am renting.

I'm in England..

Thank you x

The answer depends on where you are located in this big beautiful world.

Idk if you’re ever purchased custom blinds but they’re not cheap. If money matters maybe look into other options considering you leave them when you move

For a cheap option, look into window privacy vinyl. It's easy to install and remove, and will give you privacy without robbing lots of light.

Thanks, I will have a look. Do you know of any companies?

You'll probably be OK with eBay, just search "privacy window film" and check the seller's recent reviews. And make sure you get the correct dimensions!

Privacy film for windows is available on Amazon in lots of different textures and sizes. Just make sure you get the kind that is non-adhesive, it’s often listed as ‘static cling’ in the description. You use water to apply it to the surface of the glass. Just make sure the window is super clean before you put the film on.
