5 Ways to Bring Privacy to Street-Facing Windows (Without Blocking Out too Much Spring Light)

A modern living room with a warm spring color palette. Two big windows are facing the street with blinds and curtains on them.

Spring is coming, which means the light is finally starting to linger a little longer, and we have more of that delicious daylight pouring into our homes to look forward to. Throw open the blinds and let the light in! But wait, what about privacy? Tiptoeing the line between keeping our street-facing windows out of sight without blocking out too much light is a delicate dance, and your choice of window treatment is key.
