I love lots of light in a bedroom, but not when the windows are positioned so it gets in my eyes when I'm laying in bed. Wide spaced windows on either side seem to be the perfect solution to letting in light but also not obstructing side tables and hanging drapes. <br /><br />Good luckHuff Harrington https://www.blogger.com/profile/16491533385925600742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422669494853882483.post-73615134307086557142010-02-09T12:21:08.175-05:002010-02-09T12:21:08.175-05:00I am surprised that no mention was made of the win...I am surprised that no mention was made of the window alignment on the exterior of the house.

You could have windows on either side of the bed, and build the wall slightly out into the room to keep the curtain issue at bay. That way, the side tables would be pulled forward anyway to match the bed, leaving room for the curtains to fall easily behind the tables.
