Frosted glass-style blackout films and specialty printed tapes designed for windows offer affordable, effective ways to obscure the view from your vis-à-vis neighbor, while adding a stylish flair to your décor. For instance, craft a trendy tie-dye effect on the lower part of your windows. Start by thoroughly cleaning the surface and letting it dry completely. Choose three (or more) rolls of masking tape in a matching color gradient. Cut them into equal-length strips, then apply them side by side along the window base, from lightest to darkest, until the desired area is fully covered.
