Window treatments that let light in but provide privacy.

A sheer layer attached to the inside of the window frame can provide privacy while still allowing the light to enter. These products are energy efficient and will allow the light to glow through the material. When the panels are closed they provide complete privacy to your homes and to let light in all you need to do is open one or few of these panels. Choose the right material and fabric choice to get perfect control of daylight and privacy.

Cellular shades come in a range of styles and fabrics which gives you the flexibility to choose the design that works best in your home. I would also suggest a top down bottom up shade. You can opt for solar shades that let you see through them but filter the light and lower the temperature in rooms that get heated up by too much sun. It is not just the blackout and room darkening window treatments that keep the air inside at neutral temperatures.

Faux wood blinds sheer shades and day night honeycomb shades when closed for privacy can also do the job pretty well. For privacy without blocking the light i would suggest cellular shades. Vertical panels are made of pvc vinyl fabric or wood making a durable choice for your windows. You can lower the top of the shade down to let in more light while keeping the privacy on the bottom of the window.

A heavier curtain placed on the outside of the frame will provide interest and can be drawn across the window anytime for added privacy. Some window treatments can be too heavy to lift and lower because of the required width of coverage.
