Privacy is one of the primary reasons we put drapes and curtains on windows. Nancy Golden, host of DIY Decorating & Design, gives tips for adding privacy to a window without adding fabric, which is especially nice for small windows. Give a window a frosted look with a spray-painted frost finish. It won't completely block the sun but will give some privacy. Or make a lacy painted window (figure A) by using pieces of lace as stencils and spray-painting over them. Tape off the window frame with painter's tape, hold pieces of lace on panes of glass with low-stick adhesive, then spray-paint (figure B). Another easy option for providing privacy is window wallpaper -- a thin, lightweight patterned plastic applied to the window with soap and water (figure C). Cut the wallpaper to size, spray the window with soap and water, and set the wallpaper in place. Spray again on top, and squeegee out the bubbles.
