Looking to cover the bottom half of my lounge window so that the dogs can't see out but don't want to cover the whole window as want to allow the light in. Any ideas?

Something like this?:

Ive got frosted window film over the windows at the front of my house.

Its been up I think 3 years now and survives the 'abuse' it gets off five dogs.

What I will say is, check how high up your dogs can reach, if they figure out they can stand up and put paws on the glass and look over, they will and then they could eventually scrabble it off. Mine goes the full height of the window though a friend of mine has some that has clear cut outs a few inches from the top so she can see out but her dogs cant reach.

It can look really nice especially some of the prettier designs - mines just plain as I wasnt fussed on pretty just wanted five dogs to not see things through the window to bark at!

That's great .. thankyou. She sits on the sofa arm and looks out when noone is home. There is a Malamute living opposite that she detests and also she doesn't appreciate people walking right past our window to next door if they are too lazy to go up and down the driveways.
Will have a look at those sites, thanks again
