We're always looking for ways to make our homes feel more secluded while still celebrating their unique design and architecture. What better place to look than the home of one of the world's most famous public figures?
Michelle and Barack Obama's home in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago is a masterclass in using front yard hedges for privacy. The former presidential power couple has positioned mid-height evergreens at the edge of their lawn, with smaller shrubs lining the walkway and closer to the house. Large grees line the edges of the property, blocking the upper windows from sight. Although it's appropriately planted out, the unique design of their white and brick home still shines.
