I can see into our neighbours kitchen if I stand right in front of our ensuite window...but I never do unless I'm opening it, or opening/closing the plantations. All toilets are separate.

I've lived in houses with obscure glass and windows with blinds which got shut anyway so figured what's the point. I love the look.

Personally, considering your layout (study/work desks in bedrooms), I don't think you have any other option but to leave NW windows and make them as big as possible e.g.… 7 10483 Hi, I'm planning to build a new house and wanted to get some feedback on the different window designs for a master bedroom.
