Frost your windows to add mystery and sophistication. See through doors can easily be frosted which can give you a sense of privacy.
As per Julia Pugachevsky, "The French doors separating my bedroom from the living room were see-through, so I bought some frosted glass sheets from Home Depot and spent an afternoon spritzing water on the glass and cutting out 8×11 inch panels. And voila! Privacy!"
I frosted that glass all by myself! #adulthood? #maybe?

PAINT! Repaint your home with the color of your choice, though it is important to paint it in a way that colors would complement each other. You can throw in minimal bold hues to add in a splash of color, most especially in neutral palettes.
