Four Surprising Ways to Extend Privacy

A home is a place built with love, affection and support. It is the safest place. Where we can do whatever we want. And so, it requires the utmost privacy. We demand privacy not only from our neighbors or people walking down the street, but also inside the rooms. Its safety is and should always be a major concern. There are different ways to improve the privacy of our home, to name a few – create a fence, introduce a trellis, buy a dog or get a fountain, etc. But here are four simple ways to maintain privacy in your home.

  • Plant trees/shrubs:

You can ensure privacy in your home and protect the environment by stopping the use of metals. Moving on to the beautiful gift given by the Earth – trees/flowers/shrubs/vines. This is the most convenient and cheapest way to provide privacy in your home.

This not only provides privacy but enhances the beauty of your home. Provides organic vegetables (reducing your grocery wish list items), ultimately providing balanced nutrition, and you're working out!

Privacy trees are very useful. They are fast growing and require little maintenance. The most popular privacy trees are Leyland Cypress and Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae.

  • Building walls

If you think that converting a plant into a tree will take a long time, and fragile flowers and vines won't be much help, then you can build something sturdier:a wall. Wooden, metal, brick, stone or iron walls (to choose according to your budget)

It separates the house from the outside environment and one room from the other. The walls ensure the safety not only of people. But also prevent stray animals from entering the interior of the house.

  • Doors and Windows

Proper orientation of doors and windows can provide privacy between rooms.

  • Hanging blinds:to provide safety and protection against excessive heat in summer.
  • Textured glasses are also called frosted glass windows. Used in bathroom windows as nothing is visible through them.
  • Sound absorbing material like sound absorbing foam, acoustic panels, sound absorbing wall panels, acoustic floor tiles, etc.
  • Adding door/window sensors will help you let you know when it's open or closed.
  • Adding glass break sensors will let you know when a glass breaks. And helps you make the necessary changes.
  • Curtains

Curtains change the look of your space.

The latest application of technology can be seen through Motorized Curtains, which operates via a remote control or an app installed on your phone.

Advantages of using motorized curtains are:

  • It also has an amazing function, "weather trigger", in that you have to set the temperature, and upon reaching it, the curtains will open or close. For example, it is a hot day, so reaching a temperature of 35°C, the curtains will close.
  • You can also order by voice via your Google Chrome or Alexa. Voice control also works at a certain distance. So even if you haven't arrived home, you can order your curtains as you see fit.
