Glass doors give a sense of an indoor–outdoor flow and let in the light – but what about privacy? These etched, stained, tinted, frosted and translucent kinds of glass give you the best of both worlds, as they obscure visibility yet allow light to filter through. Here are 10 stunning designs that don’t give away what’s behind those doors.
Textured glass doors like these are a clever way to distort views and create visual interest. The patterned glass obscures the view inside but lets in diffused light. I love how the texture was embossed on the molten glass and the panes framed by dark wooden panels to give a warm, fuzzy vibe.
A rustic barn-style door is given a modern touch with translucent frosted glass. The glass complements the all-white colour scheme while the wooden track system gives a feeling of warmth.

Sliding doors with frosted glass demarcates the kitchen from the rest of the house. A nice way to keep your recipes secret and away from focus when socialising.
Vibrantly coloured stained-glass doors block out the view but filter in natural light to create a dramatic and edgy reflection on the dark floor. Even the transom windows and sidelights are stained glass to optimise privacy.
Here’s a breathtaking stained-glass panel door paired with wood for added durability. It features a blend of abstract, floral and figurative patterns to create an opaque, semi-antique design.

This front door seems to be inspired by the painter Mondrian and features an arrangement of etched glass, metal, solid wood, mirror and more. The blend of colour and textures gives an artistic edge to the door without letting views through.
This gorgeous outdoor gate is made of steel frames and laminated white glass panels. Nosy neighbours are left guessing what’s behind the doors!
Lacquered bifold doors ensure privacy in this bathroom and minimise the space taken up as compared to a regular full-swing door. The near-opaque glass is available in many colours and is also moisture-resistant and highly durable.
Tinted glass doors not only filter sunlight but views, too. They just give a hazy visual of what’s behind them. One can always paste a dark screen on a plain glass door to get a similar look.
A traditional wood-and-glass door gets a dose of privacy with translucent glass. The beanstalk motif enlivens the space and gives just the right mix of seclusion and light.
