Exterior shade privacy for an outdoor patio

How to Maintain Your Privacy at Home

Wherever you turn, no matter the topic, the subject of privacy eventually seems to come up. In a high-tech world and, unfortunately, a high-crime world, one area of privacy we all need is in our homes. Here are some tips to increase your privacy at home.

Privacy Can Be Beautiful

It’s perfectly natural to want some privacy at home. Everyone wants the freedom to be themselves and feel safe in their own home. But, at the same time, we want our homes to be beautiful and inviting when we share our time with others. There are many ways to increase your privacy, indoors and out.

  1. Build a fence and keep things attractive. Sometimes, the best way to go is with a fence. Fences can provide the most privacy, and if they are well-built and regularly maintained, they don’t need to be seen as an eyesore by the occupants on either side.
  2. Enjoy the outdoors with a patio landscape, surrounding it with Exterior Shades to eliminate exposure to the elements and passersby.
  3. Use nature to provide your privacy with trees, hedges, and vines. Again, keep the greenery green and trimmed, so it looks fabulous while still providing privacy for your yard.

Indoor Privacy Matters

Our homes are an escape from the outside world. Within our home’s walls, we can let loose and be our true selves. We value those who live in our shared space, but even then, we all need privacy. Check out four ways to increase your indoor privacy:

  1. Indoor privacy begins with privacy from the outside world. The experts at Southwest Blinds & Shutters got you covered with blinds, shutters, shades, and curtains. Walk around in your dinosaur onesie, knowing the outside world can’t see you.
  2. If bedroom space is limited, room dividers are a great way to create privacy while adding a stylish flare to your space. Enid Sinclair and Wednesday Adams didn’t have this luxury, but your son and daughter shouldn’t share in the turmoil of a lack of privacy.
  3. We love the look of double doors leading to your backyard space, but you wouldn’t want to cover up that aesthetic with curtains. Door Shutters can provide the same privacy as curtains without stripping you of structural home décor.
  4. When we bought the house, we loved the open concept, there was just so much opportunity. But now, we’re thinking that this open space is maybe too open, depriving us of privacy and room division. Use bookshelves to feed the dual-purpose needs of life. You not only create privacy from room to room, but you also get added storage space, and let’s be honest, we can all use more storage space.

Move Forward With Your Desire for Privacy

At Southwest Blinds & Shutters, our process begins with an in-home consultation, in which our team of experts goes to your home to discuss design preferences, creating a plan with your needs in mind. This allows us to gather the essence that is you and your home while giving us a realistic idea of the space we get to work with. Let us be your guiding light in creating the privacy you seek.

  • Blinds look awesome! The install was quick and lacked any drama. Just like I want. :-) We will definitely be buying from them again once we redo a couple areas in the house first.

  • They did a great job installing my shutters. Very polite and went the extra mile to do some minor adjustments that I requested. He identified a couple of things that were incorrect on my order and made sure new items were ordered. He came back to reinstall the corrected pieces and did a great job.

  • The technician who measured our windows and eventually installed them did a professional job and was done very quickly. Got our rebate form promptly and would do business again if we are ever in need.

  • James was doing a job across the street and we asked him to come over for an estimate. We hired on the spot and were genuinely pleased with the quality and service we received. He worked fast and clean and on time. Very pleased with the outcome.
