Hi all,
Having a new bathroom window installed and I don't really like normal window frosting... But I also don't want to show my boobs to the world so needs must.

I like the designs on the purlfrost website:
https://www.purlfrost.com/
but i mostly like the center piece designs (tree of life/vegetables etc). However, my window is a split-side opener (see pic below): so I'm not sure these would work?...

...Unless I could cut one in half and have one half on one side and one on the other? Would this look stupid?

Anyway - which design do you think would work/ what do you think I should do? (Poll below)

We’ve used purlfrost on all our front facing windows, amazing films and I found very easy to apply.
I suggest you get a good few samples in a selection of ranges - we ended up loving something that looks a bit meh on the website.

I think because the windows are different sizes splitting the big tree wouldn't really work.

I had a look at the website (really taken with the stained glass stuff!), I like this one with dandelion clocks: https://www.purlfrost.com/decorative-frosted-window-film/breeze-decorative-window-film/ and this one with birds (same on both sides): https://www.purlfrost.com/patterned-window-film/border-designs/birds-on-a-wire-border/

From your choices above could you get the bird on a branch and have one on either side but facing in different directions maybe? I think the big statement ones only really work in single paned windows, or where there's a smaller opening window above rather than side by side.

Thanks both!

@PlasticScouser - good to know that it's a good product! I didn't realise they do samples... Out of curiosity, what did you go for?

@MassiveOvaryaction I never thought about stained glass as I normally associate it with church. But, I think it could be beautiful - completely different, but beautiful.
... though I wouldn't know where to start, choice wise...

We used similar film but from Brume. We went with this design

https://www.brume.co.uk/collections/geometric-designs/products/coloured-circle-block

its not a bathroom so maybe the gaps around the coloured circles might not work although you would need to try pretty hard to see through them, but they did it so that there are fewer circles at the top (where we are overlooked) and lots at the bottom. Basically they will fit their designs to whatever your window size.

Coloured Circle Block.

Coloured Circle Block – Brume window film

A 3 x 3 block of 5cm circle cut-outs positioned at standing eye level allows you to peek out. This design includes coloured inserts as shown and measures 17cmH x 17cmW. Recommended position - central. If you want a different position or a design deviat...

@CharnwoodFire I think the orange/yellow sun in the art deco range is stunning 😍

I know a house that has a large stained glass window with Rennie Mackintosh-esque roses which is just gorgeous and the art nouveau ones remind me of that.

I like the Fez and Agadir from the ethnic patterns (though might make the room a bit dark if covering the whole window?).

Apologies if I have made your choice more difficult!

We chose Chesham in the end. A total surprise as I loved the stained glass ones and the strawberry theif but with the size of windows we have in the lounge it was just too much colour for me.
