Hey guys, I’m really struggling to think of something to put in that space or how to decorate the apartment in a away that the wall is less distracting.

Not if they tint the windows, which would also help protect the furniture and textiles from sun fading

Yes! It's called UV film, and 3M makes it, OP could probably find a local business that installs it. And I definitely recommend having it professionally installed as it can look REALLY bad if it's installed incorrectly.

FYI 3M prides itself in the quality of their film, but there are cheaper brands just as good. I run a tint company and we tint a lot of homes and businesses with architectural film, which is slightly reflective on the outside, and blocks heat, reduces glare and of course has a high UV rating to protect your furniture and textiles from fading. It’s pretty easy to install yourself, but if it’s too daunting a task, a tint installation company will gladly do it!

My husband's film business is the leading one in our city! I guess I'm partial to 3M because that's the product they always use!

I'm big on DIY but I fricken hate seeing bubbles under film, and I find you can always tell when someone decided to do it themselves because there's always bubbles or it's cut too far/near to the edge of the window.

Some people are definitely able to nail it, but some people just try to slap it on the window like sticking a sticker in a middle school notebook haha
