have a custom blind made.

A textured glass on that window (or a stained glass look if appropriate to your house -- maybe very contemporary) would keep anyone from seeing anything clearly. Any kind of shade would look weird (and also take away any light coming in) on that window because of the triangular shape.

I think your best would be to apply a privacy window film. They come in many different levels on transparency and decorative designs.

If you have a sewing machine, trim the bottom of a rod pocket rectangular curtain to fit the angled bottom, and then hang using a spring tension rod.

I'd suggest window film tinting...you could either go with a simple 'fog' texture or something more patterned. It's the least expensive thing you could do to address your privacy needs.

i'd put a fun piece of acrylic in there - something like 3Form material. You can get reclaim pieces for pretty cheap! You'll just need a means of cutting it. I've done a few windows in my house with the material and its fantastic!

Here is a link to the reclaim site to purchase material - http://www.3-form.com/reclaim

Hi Alison,That's a perfect spot to do a custom artglass window.A leaded and beveled glass or a nicely designed sandblasted window with appropriate artwork that suits the theme of your room.The beauty of custom artglass is the ability to allow all the light to still come in while affording you the level of privacy you need.I do areas like this all the time with great results.Find attached a few examples of my work.The oval window looked out on a roof line similar to yours.By using nicely textured glass with a very clean design I obscured the roof while adding a nice focal point to the room.The bedroom windows are nice example of our custom designed sandblasted windows designed to create privacy and add to the tranquil environment of this clients bedroom.Good luck with your project I hope this helps !

tension rod and a piece of fabric cut to fit inside the window--just sew a rod pocket at the top. Lots of open-weave fabrics of varying weights that would work. Or, buy a curtain you like in correct width and cut at the angle to match, hem and hang. Hanging it inside the window via tension rod will be a more contemporary look.

I really like the odd shaped window. :-) For privacy with light, I absolutely agree with the suggestions of the window film. It's fast and easy to put up, and just about as fast and easy to take down if you decide to do some thing different later.

Something I'd do if it was mine (and feel free to ignore this) is to also add two glass shelves in the window with some small potted plants. Carefully consider that you would have to drill into the wood casing, though.

We have window film on our bathroom windows. Just plain in one bathroom and faux stained glass in another. Love it and it's removable if you want to change it down the road. Careful when putting it on to avoid bubbling or dust getting on it.

window film, as every one has written so far, is inexpensive. It is a cinch to put up and I had no problem with it as long as it was up. It took me about 20 minutes to get the shape right (odd shaped window) so I advise you to use some craft paper to determine the shape before you cut the film. Then it will take about 5 minutes to get the film onto the window and the bubbles out from underneath. I used a film that was deeply frosted since the windows, 2 bedrooms and the bath, were directly on the public sidewalk area.They allowed privacy and sunlight.

Window film or Rustoleum spray on Frosted Glass, http://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/specialty/frosted-glass-spray/. Works great!!

I have used spray on window frosting with great success. It's inexpensive and can just be scraped off with a credit card if you decide to change. Worth a try for less than $5

A more expensive alternative is replacing the window with glass blocks.

You can have your existing window laminated with any kind of design or pattern. You have enough face and edge clearances to do it and you don't need custom blinds or anything else. This is a very nice window and you don't want to cover it up because it adds character to the room.
The company will make a template, make the glass with pattern you select, and use lamination process they will lay it over over the existing glass.

Good luck

Dear Allison,
Congratulations on your new home!
Textured window film (NOT solar film!) would work great for your purposes & it's available in many patterns.
It's inexpensive & you can very easily do it yourself.
Since your window is an odd shape, you'll need a large piece of paper, a metal straight edge, an Exacto knife & a safe cutting surface.
Make a template of the window using the paper, then lay this on top of the window film.
Secure the template to the film with tape & cut the shape out the shape with a safety blade or exacto knife. One of the great things about window film is that it can be removed.
Good luck!

I would go with patterned window film as well. I would choose something classic, as opposed to trendy through.

I would hang a mirror over it! Can't have too many mirrors in the bathroom!

I cut both the paper and the windows' films with a regular pair of scissors.

Seen the barn door sliders? Install two small (one stationary for that it will not knock into glass shower); install plantation shutters shaped like a square using the same wood as your cabinets; or lean a large mirror against it that will only allow light to peak around it.

Be creative! Use long strips of textured glass, mirror, wood and metal, hanging from a tension rod, sort of like a indoor wind chime. Starch and lace applied like wallpaper may work also. Or varied width and pattern ribbon strips hanging from a tension rod.or use two tension rods and wrap the ribbon vertically. Or burlap curtain insert mounted on a frame to fit the window . Or Christmas mini lights wrapped between two tension rods. Or a window film cut out of a child with a towel and words No Peeking at the top or bottom. Or Mardi Gras beads or glass bead curtain cut to fit . Window film would be the easiest to clean though.

A simple roman shade. When you don't need the privacy, it is up and you can see the cool window shape. When you are showering or at night, it is down.

Do you think your neighbors could possibly see that far, given the angle, distance, small window, and obstacles? I mean, short of a spyglass, I think you're already pretty private, and the window would only show your wet hair anyway. :) Just throwing it out there, in case you actually enjoy the sunlight and/or view...

I agree. One of those removable films that let light in. Try a frosted glass or a water glass look. They have some other pretty designs depending on your decor. Check them out online at Loews and Home Depot

If you need privacy and would like fabric in the room. Mount a roman shade at the ceiling above the window and make the shade as long as the longest point on the window so the window appears rectangle/square when the shade is down but can be raised up all the way during the day. If you choose a flat roman style then be sure select a pattern rather than a solid.

The big question is: Do you want to control privacy and still maintain view? The only product that is functional and will still maintain the integrity of the shape of the window is a shutter. The type of shutter is what the industry refers to as a rake bottom. The louvers would rotate about 90 degrees and the panel would still hnge open. Blinds can also be applied inside the slant but they are not nearly as finished looking. Most shade products would require you to square of the window and only allow a view when drawn up. A opaque light filtering film could also be used but you will no longer have a view thru the window. The same applies to art glass but it will have the nicest aesthetic appeal.

One evening turn the bathroom light on and have your husband stand in front of the window. Then you go over to the neighbor's porch or deck. See what you can see. My guess is not much because of the height of the window and the angle. Then you'll know if a curtain or blind is even necessary.

The only time they'd be able to see in is when it's dark outside and your bathroom light is on. Check it in the daytime too just to feel comfortable.

It doesn't open for ventilation, the view is pretty rotten. The cheap fix is to etch the glass.

Here is an idea buy a set of vertical vinyl blinds that fit the inside width of the window. The next step is to hang opening to the long side of the window. The third step involves marking both edges of each blind for length. Make a pencil line between each point and trim each blind to length. It may sound like quite a bit of work, however it gives you light and privacy control.

I think what would look best and clean (it's a bathroom!) is a frosted glass. There are spray on products to achieve this. Yo get the privacy you need, and don't loose the light that comes in through that window, and it gives a nice clean look.

Given the location, I don't personally think you need to worry about privacy, but, if you want to look at a wide variety of films: windowfilmandmore.com. They send up to 3 samples within a few days. Wide variety of choices at various price points.

place a LED strip light with small reflector angles outside. The bright light will not allow any outsider to see inside, at the same time it will not stop natural light and provide you with almost the same view as of now.

I have used the window film available at Home Depot - it is Amazing - totally private - we have a separate 'toilet' room in the Master Bedroom - the door is a French door with multiple glass panes. I cut the film to fit the panes and even with the light on in the little toilet room, it is Impossible to see through the film to see if anyone is in the room. Totally Private

Are you absolutely sure people can see inside? Check it out to be sure!

We can custom make a shutter in any shape.
The benefit is the shutter has movable lovers which provide both light and privacy control.
With most products you have no option in terms of adjustability.
A custom shutter will look like it came with the window.
