Most people will do annihilation to avert situating their bed underneath a window. I get information technology— if at that place's a view involved, you want to exist looking at it from bed, not have information technology be behind yous— only information technology needn't be such a negative organization. Which is lucky, because in smaller homes and bad-mannered rentals, sometimes this layout is unavoidable. Hither are several rooms that brand a bed and window pairing await not just doable, but desirable.

While a headboard is peachy, in front end of a window information technology can often block out precious light, especially if at that place are no other windows in the room. As a great piece of work around, Emily Henderson used an open bedframe in metallic (timber would besides be good!)— all of the gravitas, none of the sacrifice.

In an ideal bed-meets-window situation, this is what we'd all be dealing with: a large window, centrally located in a room. Accept your cue from The Decorologist and pop the bed underneath, add some blinds or curtains for style and practicality — bam. Couldn't be simpler (or lovelier).

Let's say yous accept a smaller window where your bed needs to go. That can look slap-up, simply if you lot're after a more formal look, use defunction to visually widen the window, extending them to just slightly wider than the bed itself as shown in the above room from Better Homes & Gardens. This gives a solid grounding to the headboard. (Bonus: you lot can besides use this fob to make a merely-off-center window wait like information technology'southward centered over the bed.)

Hither's another example of using curtains to create a headboard of sorts. The window here—spotted on Rethink Design Studio—is almost certainly off-center, only it looks similar information technology might only be that the drapery isn't fully drawn, don't you think? The luxe textile, roofing the entire wall, lends a glam vibe that makes you forget about the slightly bad-mannered placement.

Another way to become virtually this is to downplay the window. Hither'southward 1 from Refinery29 that almost disappears into the wall, thanks to the white blind and sheer curtain that add neither colour nor excessive volume to the white wall. The small piece of art, analogous with the cushions and bedside table, almost stands out more.

When a bed needs to become beside the window, the look is almost e'er more casual, though to me it has a relaxed charm (my ain sleeping accommodation is actually gear up like this ane from Entrance Makleri). If you tin can brand use of the windowsill as a bedside table of sorts, it almost becomes a feature.

Or, you can get actress-neutral on everything else and make the window itself the feature. This soaring ane almost featured on SF Daughter past Bay and styled past Jenny J Norris looks similar a slice of abstract fine art, and the low-ascension, headboard-less bed and minimal effects don't fight with it. This works peculiarly well with a killer view from said window — care for it similar a painting.

Accept y'all had to deal with this tricky bedchamber layout before? How did you make it work?
