Privacy Screen Options

Headboards screen guard

If you're looking for nothing more than a semi-private room or just the illusion of privacy, use an appropriately designed and placed headboard to do the job, which also works well if you have kids who share a room and want their own space. Incorporate a headboard-bookshelf combo for a private sleeping and resting area. To maintain the sense of a unified room, choose shelves without backing so you can see through to the rest of the room. Place books, knickknacks or toys in the case for a clutter-free room with a place for everything.

If you live in a studio, look for a giant headboard that acts as a divider wall. Paint it a bold color or put some wallpaper on the bedroom side for a textured headboard; use the other side for mounting your flat-screen TV, showcasing artwork or placing furniture against, depending on what's best for your floor plan and comfort.

privacy filter, also called a privacy screen or a monitor filter, is designed to protect a laptop or the screen of a desktop monitor from prying eyes and shoulder surfers. They decrease the viewing angle, allowing only the person sitting immediately in front of the screen, typically the user, to view the contents of the screen. Privacy filters fit directly above a monitor screen and attach securely in front. Privacy filters also reduce radiation and glare generated from LCD and CRT computer monitor displays.

Window Privacy Screen

If you're looking for privacy from the outside world, not within your home, place some "privacy film" on your windows or make your own with masking tape. Different patterns can be created by cutting the masking tape and taping it in a lattice, plaid or star pattern. For subtle variation in hue, the tape can be double or triple layered. This option still allows plenty of sunlight in the room, especially if you use one layer of tape on most of the window. It also may cast a lovely shadow on the wall at some point during the day, and you can remove it with some warm water and soap or "goop" remover.

Cut a hole in the wall just below the bracket to feed the rubber wire through using your drill and utility knife. Be sure you know the diameter of the hole you need (the size will change depending on the number of things you are hooking up and how many cords you have) so that the hole is completely obstructed by the TV once it is hung. Some brackets come with pre-cut holes in them to use as a guide to cut the cable hole in the wall. Feed the electric cable directly through the bracket and the wall hole.
