Hi group -- I'm currently building a 400 sf addition over my garage that will be attached to the 2nd floor of my existing home (which is my master bedroom), and the West-facing wall of the addition has three narrow windows to let in some light and provide some architectural interest on what is an otherwise really tall, blank wall. Think of the addition as a vertical axis of the "L" in an L-shaped configuration and my master bedroom as the horizontal axis (the attached photo is taken from my master bedroom, which has french doors leading to a small deck). Now when you stand on my MBR deck, you cannot see down into the AirBnB space because the roofline slants down and away toward the East, and therefore the living space is far below where these windows are located. Similarly, when you are inside the AirBnB addition, you cannot look up and see any part of my deck or windows because of the sharp angles and height difference.
So my question is this: is it necessary to put blinds on these three windows, which are 14 feet tall, or should I save the money and leave the windows as they are? From a privacy perspective, there are no issues in my mind (although even so, perhaps it will make some people uncomfortable?), and from a light/dark perspective, the window faces almost due West, so you won't receive any direct morning sunlight. Do you think this would be a deal-breaker for guests wanting absolute darkness and/or feeling of privacy?
Thanks in advance for your feedback. -- Tom
