You might have to change companies to get the shades you need.

One option for privacy is to put frosted window film on the lower part of the windows. Some of it is cling, so you can remove it easily and it's cheap, so you can try it out and if it's not working for you, do something else.

You would still be exposed if some worker ever climbed that pole, though.

I think they go as narrow as 24"

1. Not JUST a telephone pole.

2. Do NOT ever hang a clothesline from that thing.

3. Don't EVER touch it while in the tub

You should disguise the pole OUTdoors. My favorite is a clump of towering pampas grass. Plant it between the house and the pole. If the pole needs servicing, technicians can trample the grass and it will grow right back.

Where are you located? What a wonderful view! My suspicion is that you are on a second or third floor on a hill and have no way of using foliage to cover the pole! Are your blind options limited by your location? (In other words, you only have access to one brand of product?). Your idea of individual blinds for your windows is a good one. Operation of each one every time you want privacy might become an issue. What about looking into a notarized blind or two or three (depending on the width of your windows) so that when privacy is required (at night when your light is on, or there are people working on your power lines!) you need only hit one button?

PS: You will, over time, not see the post. Trust me….

PPS: I just saw that “MOTORIZED” was autocorrected into “NOTARIZED”!

There are all kinds of window film designs and I’d try that route. Find a design you love and Etsy has some nice ones.

Thank you all for your comments. Yes, we are on the second floor, so would be difficult to grow grass that tall let alone hang clothes - haha! It would be lovely to grow a vine over the pole though the base is not on my side of the property. @ptreckel thank you for appreciating our view. We are on Oahu and the mountain range is so pretty, especially when there are clouds and rainbows! I don't want to frost the glass for that reason. I think the best advice is to look for a shade company that can make individual shades that narrow, as the company here who quoted me only suggested Hunter Douglas as being able to do a top/down bottom/up option. Appreciate any other company recommendations for T/D B/U, narrow shades!
