Living in an urban environment has many benefits—vibrant culture, bustling streets, and access to amenities at your doorstep. But with it often comes one major drawback: a lack of privacy. Whether you're in a Melbourne high-rise or a Sydney terrace, chances are you’ve looked out your window and straight into someone else’s living room.
The good news? The right window furnishings can help you reclaim your space. Let’s explore how to choose window solutions that elevate privacy while adding style, comfort, and practicality to your city home.
Every home is different, and so are privacy requirements. The first step is identifying your household's unique needs:
Once you know your goals, selecting the right products becomes much easier.
Security Plus offers a range of solutions tailored to city living. Here’s how each can contribute to a more private, comfortable home.
Roller shutters are one of the most effective ways to secure urban homes. When closed, they provide total blackout and complete privacy—no one sees in, and you enjoy a peaceful, distraction-free environment.
Key benefits:
Roller shutters are particularly useful for bedrooms and street-facing windows, where both privacy and safety are paramount.
If you’re after a more timeless, elegant look, plantation shutters are ideal. Their adjustable louvres let you fine-tune visibility and airflow without fully exposing your interiors.
Why they work well in urban homes:
Materials like basswood or PVC are moisture-resistant and durable—perfect for both steamy city bathrooms and open-plan living spaces.
From blockout to translucent fabrics, indoor blinds offer flexible privacy solutions for every room. At Security Plus, we offer:
You can also layer blinds with curtains or shutters for enhanced privacy and insulation.
For those with balconies or patios, outdoor blinds play a vital role. They create a barrier between your outdoor living space and neighbouring eyes while also protecting from the sun and wind.
eZip track blinds, for example, are a discreet but powerful way to define outdoor zones, especially in apartments or courtyards where space is precious and views are shared.
