I dont have much experience with tint, does it really help that much?

>not basking in the warmth like a lizard
Are you an ayylium, OP? Are you from outer space?

Get some cool mirrored one way tint

>>1055756
Tint only works like that when there's a difference of brightness on one side (think interrogation room mirrors)
At night unless theres a porch light on, people will see in and he will just get a reflection.

I did tint for 5 years.

>>1055719
Fuck yes it helps.

The easy answer:

Plants. They'll love the constant sunlight from those windows, they'll block some of that light from heating up your living room, and with the right combination of plants and pots, they can make your doorway very pretty.

The hard answer:
Remove the windows.
or, alternatively, stained glass can mitigate light and alter the mood of the room.

Plants, or some blinds/shades.

Use imitation crab meat

This is correct.

However the picture in OP could use a tint on the top and have no negative repercussions since no one can really look in 8 feet in the air.

For the side windows get curtains. They are pretty common on doors and side windows. You just keep them attached at both ends so they don't flop around.

heard that you can use chalk and water and "paint" the window whit it, dont know if it works tho.

Just get the windows tinting sheets at home depot or Lowe's. Do the top windows first to get a feel for it and make the mistakes. Do the eye level windows last because you'll be an expert by the time you do them. Plus the smaller windows will be easier.

I went with the mirrored stuff to reduce the amount of light coming in through some bedroom windows because my cats would climb or get tangled in the metal blinds. Worked out pretty good with only minor defects. Attempted to do a stained glass version on a bathroom window but I cut it a hair to tiny and there was light leaking in the edges. Pulled it off because it looked way to fake.

There are sprays you can use to "frost" the window like etched glass, this will diffuse the light and should help, but believe the tinted film is better and side curtains are not that hard to do.

I had this exact same setup in my old house. You can special order aluminum blinds that will fit the sides.

The dog liked looking out the window so I kept one side zip tied up to so the bottom window on one side was uncovered.

The blinds weren't wide so all they could do was tilt.

Current house has one set of similar side windows and I went with some decorative vinyl film. However, this was more for privacy and not direct sunlight.

For the top, I just stuck a plant up there. It was happy and filtered the light.
