Two windows can turn the wall behind a bed into the room’s main architectural feature. Matching nightstands, layered curtains, shutters, artwork, and carefully chosen headboards help the arrangement feel balanced rather than awkward. These bedrooms show how to make the most of everything from high basement windows to black-paned glass and farmhouse molding.
French Farmhouse Bed Flanked by Windows
Symmetry makes a French farmhouse bedroom especially suited to this styling. Matching white and gold nightstands hold two ornate lamps, each placed precisely in the center. Above the impressive antique headboard, a petite wreath complements the ruffled bedding. A delicate crystal chandelier brings everything together, giving the room a clear sense of its intentional theme.
Shuttered Windows Behind the Bed
Plantation shutters cover two slim windows on either side of a black bedframe dressed with a variety of Bohemian accent pillows. They are useful because they open and close easily while still blocking evening light effectively. Their soft white color also complements the bold black designs throughout the rest of the decor.
Neutral Bedroom With Windows
Light curtains draped over the paned windows emphasize the suite’s cool gray tones. Four panels frame the bed, while its exposed grain coordinates with the furniture set. If you’re lucky enough to have that much natural light, the same curtains can also be placed beside the room’s third window for more coordination.
Off-Center Windows Framing the Bed
A rectangular bedroom may have its windows along one wall, creating a small foyer just inside the entrance. In this moody boho room, the bed and nightstands are shifted away from the middle and aligned between the windows instead. The open area can then accommodate additional seating or a desk.
Bed Beneath Two Windows
A board-and-batten treatment wraps this farmhouse bedroom, framing two petite three-pane windows. Leaving them uncovered puts their intricate molding on display, a good choice if you’re comfortable with a little extra morning light. The headboard rests beneath the pair, bringing the whole space into balance.
Basement Window Bed
In a basement or split-level bedroom, placing the bed beneath the windows creates an idyllic arrangement. Since the windows are positioned high on the wall, their frames do not interfere with the headboard. Use full-size drapes to make the windows resemble a full-sized one, then set matching nightstands with lamps on either side of the bed.
White Blinds on Bedroom Windows
A bed does not need curtains on the windows beside it, since blinds can work just as well. They preserve a light, bright feel and keep the focus on the bed’s intricate bedding. With so much light entering the room, you can also use a headboard and nightstands in a deeper tone.
Bed Framed by Pink Curtains
A soft sage accent wall gives this feminine room a backdrop for bright pink curtains. The pastel shades enliven the white waffle-knit bed, while the white antique furniture provides the finishing touch. It is a simple way to introduce color without putting it in the bedding, leaving the room fairly neutral and bright.
Grand Monochromatic Drapes
Matching grand curtains and a headboard give this room a deliberate, chic monochromatic feel. Each window has a pair of panels: one white sheer and one gray blackout panel. During daylight, the sheer allows sunshine in while maintaining coverage, and at night, the gray panels are intended to darken the bedroom.
Warm Room With Open Windows
The room’s three uncovered windows are placed deliberately to draw attention to the gorgeous brown hardwood floors. With little wall decor, the two windows around the brown headboard remain the main focus. Fabric blinds can be raised or lowered as the day changes, leaving the ornate molding around each window on display.
Window Wall with Board and Batten
Very soft whites and beiges give this fall bedroom its neutral palette. Two windows with white curtains are set into the board-and-batten wall behind the bed. The wall’s monochromatic finish creates an idyllic backdrop for the similarly neutral bedding, warm brown bedframe, and matching side tables. This works well if you want something gentle while still adding texture.
Black-Paned Windows
Since black-paned windows are so popular, leaving them uncovered lets them take center stage without unnecessary curtains or drapes. Their slender lines echo the black-framed headboard positioned beneath the pitched roof. The look is highly modern and well suited to a newly built home.
Artistic Shelf Bed
Rather than using curtains to frame the bed on both sides, place your sheer curtains along just one wall to encourage symmetry. Two coordinating plant paintings on a shelf above the leather headboard give this room a balanced appearance, while white, brown, and blue accents complete it. The result feels very modern while still being bright and comfortable.
Cream Drapes for Blue Walls
Painting the wall can call attention to a bed set in front of two windows. A blissful light blue shade provides the backdrop for semi-sheer cream curtains and a soft gray headboard. To add a little pizazz, use the area between the curtains for word art or a landscape portrait that coordinates with the rest of your bedding and decor.
Coastal Bedroom Framed by Windows
Here is another tray ceiling, this time in a bedroom where two shuttered windows frame the bed. Window shutters are especially well suited to a beachside setting, and it is an even bigger benefit when they open to let in a full coastal breeze. The bedroom’s coastal blues and greens provide a lovely complement to its true coastal style.
Landscape Art Between Windows
When a bed is placed between two windows, the wall above it often provides plenty of room for artwork. Since landscape paintings have become so popular, choose a scene that holds some personal meaning. Here, a beautiful view of Paris and the Eiffel Tower makes a striking addition to the modern farmhouse, which also includes upscale touches such as the reflective nightstands and mid-century light fixture.
Two-Window Christmas Bed
Black-and-white plaid bedding with red accents, white farmhouse furniture, and an antique poster bed between two windows give this farmhouse bedroom its appeal. Flocked garland hangs from the curtain rods, an original detail that brings a little Christmas cheer to the whole space.
Poster Bed Framed by Two Windows
If two windows alone don’t do enough to frame the bed, consider adding a black metal poster bed. These beds are extremely popular right now because they look both luxurious and tasteful. Since the bed is about the same height as the windows, choose curtain rods that match its material and color for a cohesive, coordinated look.
Small High-Ceiling Windows
High vaulted ceilings give this room an incredibly symmetrical appearance. Board-and-batten walls surround three petite windows, whose striped shades leave the wall design visible rather than covering it with curtains. A creamy white headboard sits beneath them between two brown nightstands
Bed Framed by Windows Beneath a Tray Ceiling
Tray ceilings suit the bedding and flooring in this nearly square room. They draw the eye to the bed nestled between two windows, with a pair of trays instead of just one. Semi-sheer folding blinds cover the windows and let light pour in throughout the day.
Windows Lighting an American Farmhouse Bed
From the side, this American farmhouse bedroom shows a bed set between two windows. The view is arranged to reveal the gallery wall above a vintage metal bed, as well as a repurposed armoire standing to one side. Antiques make up most of the room, while textured sheer curtains complement them and admit a graceful, subtle morning glow.
