I’ve found the easiest DIY hack to stop nosy neighbours in summer – it’s super cute and just £5 from Amazon
A DIY enthusiast has found a super simple hack to stop nosy neighbours peeping through your windows.
Not only is it perfect for summer when you want to have your curtains open, but it’s super cute too.
But that’s not all, to top things off, this DIY trick is renter-friendly and great for those on a budget.
Natalie Jade Reading, a content creator from the UK, took to social media to share her simple privacy tip - and it left many very impressed.
Posting online, the red-haired beauty uploaded her video with the caption “The easiest DIY - wish I’d done it sooner!”
Showing off her large window, she then said: “My bay windows are one of my favourite things about my flat but big windows means not a lot of privacy - my bedroom windows face a communal courtyard and I know my neighbours will start sitting outside soon [so] I figured it was time to give myself a little bit more privacy.”

Keen for a more secluded space, Natalie added: “I picked up this film on Amazon and honestly it was so easy to install - I just sprayed the windows with some water, stuck the film on and then used the squeegee to remove the excess water.”
Showing off her gorgeous window, Natalie praised: “She is so pretty when the sun is shining - I'm getting this lovely little rainbow effect across my room.”
With her leftover off-cuts, Natalie even did her bathroom too - and she is "obsessed".
Thrilled with her DIY trick, showing off her now windows, which have been decorated with the beautiful privacy self-adhesive film, Natalie beamed: “It's private and it's cute, how perfect.”
