New estates put big windows close together, and older streets have their own sightlines straight into the lounge. The mistake most people make is fixing privacy with darkness. You do not have to choose: the right furnishings give you privacy and keep the room bright.
Through the day, a sheer curtain or sunscreen blind works like one-way glass: brighter outside than in means you see out and they see a glow. Sheers soften the whole room while doing it, which is why they are the most popular furnishing in new Adelaide homes. Frosted film also works but is permanent: you lose the view forever.
After dark the lounge is the bright side, and sheers alone become see-through. That is why the proper answer is layered: sheers for the day, plus a blockout layer, curtains, a roller behind the sheer, or a duplex blind, that closes at night. A duplex (day-night) blind does both jobs in one unit, banded stripes you tilt from open to private.
Bathrooms want PVC plantation shutters: tilt the louvres for privacy with airflow, and steam cannot hurt them. Street-facing bedrooms suit shutters or layered blockout. For a home office on a boundary, a sunscreen roller keeps your screen glare-free and your afternoons private.
Every option above is compared honestly at your free measure, including when the cheaper one is the right call.
