Just that.
I've new neighbours who always seem to be peering in our large lounge windows.
Right now I fancy a sleep on the couch but I just can't relax.
Is there a net curtain out there that isn't gross?

When we had new windows installed, I invested in new nets for the whole house. I chose some net with leaves and butterflies from C&H, and had them made up in store. They're lovely, and not too heavy.

We have venetian blinds like these www.dunelm.com/product/white-wooden-venetian-blind-50mm-slats-1000081292 you can angle them so you can see out but people can't see in

We have magic screen blinds in our lounge as our neighbour kids gather outside our house sometimes for hours

In our back room and study we also have day and night blinds, I find them more opaque than the magic screen blinds so prefer them

You can get really nice net curtains online. I can't remember the place I used, but there are loads. They're cheap as chips, made to your window dimensions, and loads of styles to choose from.

I came on here to follow as I have a similar problem but @Appletrehouse I'm so glad I found your post! I didn't know they existed!!

I’m married to someone who has an absolute horror of people looking in so we have the plainest of plain voiles downstairs. I love those Timorous Beastie curtains.

Just get ikea nets and dye them the colour(s) you want - they're very light so you can layer several colours at different angles.

You lot are so helpful. The window is huge so I really don't think I could stomach the sticker. And I don't want to never open the space up again. But equally I don't want eye contact with the people out on the street when I'm eating my lunch.
