Would you like more privacy for your home?
Do you ever feel like letting your hair down in your garden but feel like you’re being watched? Or how about when you walk in front of your back window and just want to look outside at the sky while enjoying a nice cup of coffee, only to feel like you’re exposed to the outside world?
Having moments where you’re truly alone and by yourself in your thoughts is getting harder and harder in the modern age. The population is increasing and thus there are more people living closer to each other than ever before. It’s not that you hold a grudge against anyone, sometimes you just want to feel like you’re the last person on earth and enjoy some real alone time.
Yet we feel uncomfortable when we know our homes don’t cater to this mood and want.
3 Ways to Add Privacy for Your Home
They are often the way we bought them, plain and not giving us really want we want to a tee. But fear not there are awesome ways you can easily increase the amount of privacy your home can provide for you.
1 – Strategically placed panels
Yes, there is such a thing as privacy panels. Aptly named because they do just that. They are panels that can be of almost any kind of design and material, that is very strategically placed around the home to shield you from prying eyes. They can be fitted to a veranda very easily if you have a rail around the edges. Privacy panels are also portable so they can be moved around your home and garden. They can be made out of metal, wood or even glass. The designs can be thin and allow for light a little bit of vision or they can be made out of opaque glass and not allow anyone to see what is beyond it.
2 – Plugging the giant hole
Whether it’s your driveway or your back garden that has a large opening, you can plug it with a fantastic gate. Gates are not doors and they are usually something that comes with the ordinary home. They are something that upper-class homes come with because privacy is itself a unique selling point. Consider these gates estates that can be in various designs to fit your tastes. Some can have thin bars with wide spaces between or you can have a much more elaborate design that keeps anyone from entering them. The use of different paints is also desired by many as the tops of the points can be in gold or silver. You may if you wish, even have your initials fitted inside your own gate.
3 – A natural wall
If you don’t want anything that’s manmade to give your privacy then you may want to try fitting or rather planting a natural wall. You can have trees along the outskirts of your home and garden planted so they provide you with privacy without making it look like that is their main task. They also add natural beauty to your home.
There is a multitude of ways you can increase the privacy to your home. Trees are a great idea because they look great and don’t need a lot of maintenance. However, a gate for your home is also a nice way of keeping out prying eyes.
