With just a little do-it-yourself willpower, you can give your windows a new look by installing privacy film. There are a bunch of options out there for homeowners that prefer the simple, frosted look to those who opt for total blackout film on their windows. We found four window films that should meet any need.

Coavas Frosted Film

Coavas Frosted Film
This frosted privacy film also blocks 96 percent of the sun’s harmful UV rays. Amazon

A frosted look is great for windows in the office, bathroom, or any room where privacy is a concern but a softer design is still preferred. This film requires no adhesives, is easy to apply, and can be just as easily peeled away without any residue. Better yet – it can be removed and used again.

Mirror Window Tint
This one-way film gives privacy during the daytime, while outside it acts as a mirror. Amazon

During the day, your window will look like a one-way mirror; at night the mirror effect fades so remember to use your curtains if you still want privacy. The film is easy to install with just a soap-and-water mixture. It also offers UV protection and should lower cooling bills considerably.
