Design of a bedroom with two windows

Rooms with two windows are found in ordinary city apartments (even in Khrushchev), and in private houses, so the options for their arrangement are interesting to many property owners. The thoughtful design of the bedroom with two windows will help to make the interior exquisite. Windows are sources of natural light. The more there are in the room, the lighter and visually more spacious it will be. If necessary, they can always be hidden behind heavy curtains, but it is better to focus on these windows. The design project of the bedroom should begin with the development of the style of these very window openings. If we are talking about private housing construction, then one of these windows can be made panoramic so that the room becomes more light and spacious. But you need to understand that when developing the design of the room, it is necessary to take into account the location of the rooms. They can be on the same or different walls.

Features of finishing the bedroom with two windows

The windows in the bedroom are natural lamps, but sometimes the bright dawn sun can interfere with a good night's sleep, so at the stage of room decoration you need to take care of blackout curtains. It is best to focus on unusual windows: panoramic, round, triangular, etc. If it is not possible to give the window openings an unusual shape, but you want to somehow highlight them, you can paint the frames in bright colors or decorate them with unusual paintings. If there is a desk or a library corner in the bedroom, then they should be installed next to the windows, but the bed should be placed away from them. The presence of two windows allows you to interestingly divide the room, making for each aperture its own conditional zone. Also, in a room with two windows, you can focus on brightness and sunlight, because in this room it is really very light during the day.

Errors in designing a bedroom with two windows

Both designers and ordinary homeowners sometimes make mistakes in the design of a bedroom with two windows. It is better to familiarize yourself with them in advance in order to prevent at least these errors in the future. It is impossible to limit oneself to a ceiling chandelier in a bedroom. It is not comfortable. If the carpet spreads on the floor, then it should correspond to the size of the room. Do not ignore accessories. For example, a bed will look much better if it is decorated with decorative pillows. All photographs, paintings or children's drawings must have their place. They can be hung on the wall (best at a height of 1.5 meters from floor level) or put on a specially designed shelf for these purposes. If the room has a low ceiling, then you need to abandon the furniture in dark colors, because it makes the bedroom dark and squat. And, of course, do not make the bedroom extra furniture.

Zoning Rules

Even in a large rectangular bedroom with two windows, it is not recommended to install additional drywall partitions, as they will negate the original layout of the room. For zoning the room, it is advisable to use various lamps, color combinations or home decoration. In such a bedroom there are two centers: a bed and a zone near the windows. They can be separated not with contrasting, but with calm combinations of colors. Just for the place near the bed you need to use pastel shades of the same color. For example, the wallpaper near the window has a turquoise color, and next to the bed is light blue. Furniture can only conditionally delimit space; you do not need to put a cabinet in the middle of the room to divide it into two. When zoning a room, you do not need to mix styles. A modern bedroom should look like a single logically complete complex.

Useful tips for zoning a bedroom with two windows

Zoning a bedroom with two windows involves a soft separation of different parts of the room. Instead of partitions in the room, it is more advisable to put screens. These designs will prevent the spread of direct sunlight. If you need to fence the bed from the rest of the room, it must be issued a canopy. The area with the bed needs to be slightly darkened (compared to other areas of the room). Various colors, textures and materials allow not only zoning the bedroom, but also emphasize the main advantages of interior compositions. Zoning of the bedroom should be as calm as possible. Just one shade smoothly passes into another. To make smooth color transitions, it is best to stick non-woven wallpaper for painting in the bedroom. They are multifunctional, they do not have to be changed if the homeowner decides to design the bedroom in a different style.

Zoning of a bedroom with two windows using furniture

Most often, the room is zoned with arches, but there are unusual solutions in the form of an aquarium or an electric fireplace. You can also highlight the sleeping area with the help of a small podium, on which the bed is installed. And the room can be divided into 2 equal parts using conventional curtains. But this method is not suitable for all styles. For example, it will not be appropriate for country or high-tech rooms.

Lighting

Although there is a lot of sunlight in a room with two windows during the day, you need to take care of the artificial lighting for the dark. In the bedroom, it is worth using several types of lamps at once. Firstly, the room must have a ceiling chandelier, the color and shape of which are determined by the chosen interior style. Secondly, there should be a lamp on each side of the bed. It can be ordinary lamps on bedside tables or wall sconces. Thirdly, the window area should also have additional lighting. They often have a workplace, a boudoir or a mini-living room, and they also need individual lamps. They can be floor lamps in the corner, sconces or spotlights. To add spice to the bedroom, you can integrate all the bedroom fixtures into the Smart Home system and install dimmers.

Window decoration

Everything should be perfect in the bedroom: a bed, a chandelier, and, of course, windows. If you make window openings well, you get a finished stylish interior. The design method depends on the general style of the bedroom, the area of ​​the room and the location of the windows in it. If we are talking about small window openings that are located close to each other, they should not be emphasized. For their design, simple opaque curtains are suitable.If the windows are located on opposite walls, then they can be decorated with simple drapery. Window openings located on adjacent walls in corner rooms can be closed with Japanese curtains, blinds or light curtains. It is impossible to leave the bedroom windows without curtains. In such a room, you want to retire and hide from prying eyes, as well as from the scorching morning sun, so you need to hang curtains even on windows of an unusual shape.

Tips for choosing curtains

Curtains must match the interior of the room, so they must be bought or ordered at the finish stage of decoration. But the choice of curtains depends not only on the design of the room, but also on the height of the ceilings in the room. For a room with low ceilings, light, light curtains are suitable. You can hang French curtains in the bedroom with a working area. In large rooms with high ceilings, long curtains of any color look stylish. The color of the curtains must be selected to match the color of the furniture so that the interior looks interesting and concise. Neutral shades (sand, cream, beige, etc.) are suitable for any design projects and create a quiet cozy atmosphere. The curtains in the bedroom may not look solid or stylish, because this room is not a front door. For some styles, it is permissible to replace curtains with spectacular blinds.

The design of panoramic windows

A large panoramic window needs additional decoration. At the same time, the curtains are not easy to close the opening and emphasize the size of the window structure, but they also connect the interior of the room with an open view of the street. For panoramic windows, curtains with a small pattern or diagonal lines are contraindicated. Short curtains cannot be hung on such window openings. Panoramic glazing always becomes the center of the room, so you can not save on its design. On such windows horizontal or vertical blinds, rectangular Japanese curtains, translucent roller blinds and muslin curtains will look spectacular.Roman curtains also look stylish in a bedroom with two panoramic windows, but you should not burden them with a cascading design. Also on the panoramic windows, a combination of all these curtains looks interesting.

For convenience, several diverse lamps should be installed in the bedroom. An important place in the development of the design project of the bedroom is the zoning of the room. If the area allows, you need to set the bed away from the windows. In small bedrooms, window openings can be covered with heavy opaque curtains. The selection of suitable colors for the decoration of the room depends on the type of interior. But do not experiment too much with shades and materials.
