The Affordable Way

Homeowners without a lot of disposable income can up their home's privacy with simple window coverings. These can include blinds found at home improvement stores and simple curtains or drapes.

Of course those that are able to custom order their window coverings will have to wait for them to be made and shipped before they can be installed. Homeowners with more money than patience may wish to find a compromise that gives them instant gratification and privacy.
