replace window and just turn to wall. keep the upper window for ventilation. who design this kind window in terrace houses.

Use a shower curtain during night time.

But frosted glass should already good, i mean outside can only see someone taking shower but wont see any clear image / body shape, but if really concern just put a shower curtain for night time.

Thanks. Do you mean you are using Daiso curtain to cover the windows?

Yes using daiso pole and curtain. The curtain just has a loop you run the pole through. Its meant for kitchen window but you can use for your toilet. Every now and then you can wash it to remove soap or whatever .

As my taman has a lot of these type of units, this is what I have seen people doing:
- reduce the size of window to the upper part only.
- use a layer of reflective tint
- use frosted glass
- place a big pot with huge plant (I really like this approach, it looks very modern)
- leave it as it is. Saw many people just don't care! Of course can see your body totally.

you can install louver but upside down. this will allow most light to come in, and block vision from street level and opposite house. only drone can see you.

I get it if you got some Chun wife or something.

But if people wanna perve at an old man with pot belly and wrinkles then let them. And if wife is a land whale she might actually appreciate the attention.

I had a similar issue with my bathroom window being way too revealing at night. I ended up going with a frosted window film, which was a game changer. It lets in lots of natural light during the day while keeping things private at night, no matter the light situation inside.

About the grill, I also had one that was giving me trouble with rust because of the shower moisture. I moved it outside and it made cleaning much easier. As for the shadows, adding an outdoor light did help a bit by softening the shadows, but what really sealed the deal for me was getting some new shower curtains. I found some stylish options at The Shower Curtains that really complemented my decor and added that extra layer of privacy.

Frosted still can see shadow lol

The only way is turn on light outside the window to prevent shadow

yes i went with the same film as well.

actually after some checking i found that frosted one got 2 types (pure frosted vs white frosted). choose the white frosted one which is 90% cannot see through , maybe only slight shadow but not obvious from far. can choose this type. i bought it online and diy stick it outside the windows, now almost 1 year so far still ok, no peeling off etc.
