How do I cover this door to give privacy?

Hello,
I have new neighbours and he likes to stand in his upstairs bedroom and peer into my utility room. It's a straight line of vision, as I found out this morning when I was loading the washing machine without a top on. I've had a mastectomy for breast cancer and have never shown anyone it as I'm still anxious about it ; my neighbour had a clear view of the scar and I'm now really worried about going in the room.

I cannot see because chemo has meant I can't feel my fingertips so I can't adjust a net curtain to only fit the top.

My house is very modern and I really am not keen on a door curtain or door net curtain.

I thought about just sticking up some white card with blue tac for now but it'll look rubbish.

I was thinking of somehow Velcro-ing a voile panel to the top window part only. But they don't come in the size I need (62 x 106cm) and I can't adjust it as I cannot sew. And how would I stick the four corners of the material to the four corners of the upvc door?

Ideas very welcome. Thank you

Some great ideas on here, thank you. I have ordered a type that looks like the blinds I have elsewhere in my house and they will arrive tomorrow. I am going to carve "sod off" in it Grin

I was wondering how you are feeling now? Have you managed to get anything fitted?

What a creep! Did they go on okay OP?
In a military estate near me pretty much every house has those window films on and one looks like blinds.

Some older parents are of the generation that they feel shame (or won't believe) about their offspring's difficulties/disabilities

Crass generalisation. I've been teaching for 40+ years and can assure you that disability deniers come in all ages.
