How To Get More Privacy In Your Home

Dreaming of a designated nook at home where you can score some much-needed solo time? From floating art walls to meditation corners and more, these are tips from interior designers to create more privacy inside your shared spaces.

Something else to consider is getting your windows tinted. They add privacy and can also help to cool down the home by blocking out sunlight. They are also not that expensive to get done. You can also get ones that allow you to see outside but stop others from seeing in.

Blinds are another great method that can be used for privacy. They can go up or down or you can get the ones that spin open or close. This is more along with your preference and taste. They also come in a lot of colors so you can find something that matches your decor.

Rather than keeping the blinds or curtains pulled all day long, homeowners can utilise switchable smart glass solutions to maintain privacy on demand. While the initial cost investment may prove expensive, in the long term, smart glass windows and doors are a very cost-effective option, as they maximise energy efficiency. With the flick of a switch, the glass can turn from transparent to opaque in an instant. The glass can switch to varying levels of an opaque state, and can be switched to just enough level of opaque to obscure view, yet still allow a natural flow of light.

Making your home a haven of privacy just got a whole lot easier. If you even start by just planting a single tree to obscure some of the view, you can make a significant difference to increasing privacy in your home and garden.

1. iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular models): Make sure that Cellular Data is on in Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data, even if you're not subscribed to a cellular data plan. This will allow your device to more accurately calibrate itself using network time and location information. In some instances, disabling a SIM PIN may be necessary. 2. iOS and iPadOS devices sold in China mainland and Germany may use the term Wireless LAN (WLAN) instead of Wi-Fi. 3. GPS is available on iPhone and iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models. 4. Bluetooth interacts with iBeacons to provide a way to create and monitor areas that advertise certain identifying information. 5. iOS and iPadOS devices without a cellular connection use only Wi-Fi for Location Services (if a Wi-Fi network is available). Some third-party apps rely on a Wi-Fi connection for region monitoring. If a device is passcode locked, this feature may be limited or inaccurate.
