This is the answer to the question How do you make your hallway windows opaque?
Revision 1
In general, you have the following options:
1. do nothing. Then you can look in and out.
2. satin/foiled glass. Either you can't see through or there are problems in the dark.
3. curtains/curtains. Looks silly or you can't see through them properly.
4. roller shutters. Open them when you want to look outside. Close them when you don't want anyone looking in.
Do you have this problem that you're afraid people will look at you? What do you do all day in the hallway and on the stairs?
We don't have a single curtain in our house. Some of the bathrooms/toilets are foil-covered (you don't have to do the whole paneling frosted and you have freedom of design). We do, however, have roller shutters on all the windows, but we only close them when we go to bed.
