Hi!  
So I just moved into a new place, and our window looks out into a center where everyone in the complex could see into our apartment when the blinds are open. We don’t feel very safe with people able to see into the apartment when we aren’t home, but obviously my plants need sun even when I’m not here.  
Could anyone recommend a type of film or something like that (renter friendly) that will prevent people from seeing inside but still let in enough sun? Or another solution?

Thanks so much!

Hii 🌞  
I went to Walmart last week and found some window privacy film for $20. I picked the one with a design and put in in my kitchen window and my plants still get enough light through and my neighbors can’t see in ☺️ It brings in the perfect amount of lighting that I don’t use my kitchen lights anymore!

That’s exactly perfect, thank you! I’ve been wanting some of the stained glass film anyway but I wasn’t sure if it would be enough light, so I’m glad to know that it is! You’re much appreciated ♥️

Yeah it’s perfect! I’m even growing cilantro \& parsley and it’s the perfect light 🪴
