Advantages and disadvantages of living rooms with two windows
Before you start arranging the interior of a room, you need to analyze its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of a living room with two windows include:
- A large amount of natural light, creating a feeling of lightness and freedom. The larger the window openings and the smaller the area of the room, the more illuminated it is. When decorating a well-lit room, you can use dark colors without fear that the decor will look gloomy;
- A small room with two windows becomes visually more spacious. This effect can be enhanced with the help of some design tricks (mirrors and gloss in the finish);
- A room with two natural light sources is easily divided into zones. The windows themselves divide the room into two parts. All that remains is to decide how to design these zones;
- Large windows with a gorgeous view are always an additional bonus for a design composition;
- Non-standard and original interior. In most houses (apartments), the living rooms have only one source of natural light.

But along with the advantages, a living room with two windows also has disadvantages:
- If the room is small, it may be difficult to place bulky cabinet furniture in it;
- If the windows do not offer the most attractive view (for example, of a neighboring high-rise building), or the residents of the apartment (house) value a secluded environment, then it is necessary to design the window openings so that they can hide from prying eyes;
- Large windows can lead to heat loss during the cold season. They must be insulated, otherwise you will have to use additional heating devices;
- Difficulties in design (adjusting and cutting materials).

Design of a small living room with small windows
When decorating a small room, you need to choose light shades. If you decorate the walls and floors in dark colors, the room will visually become even smaller. It is recommended to use light glossy materials for finishing the ceiling.
To make a living room with two windows on one wall look more spacious, it is recommended to install mirrors. You can hang them directly in front of windows (or at least one of them) to reflect natural light.
Artificial lighting and a small amount of furniture make the living room more spacious

Unusual interior in the living room with two windows
In small living rooms, it is imperative to consider an artificial lighting system. The room should have a central chandelier that illuminates the room with bright light, and a small floor lamp. To relax and create a romantic atmosphere, you can install additional lighting for drawers and shelves.
The design of the windows must correspond to the overall style of the interior. Curtains and tulle are selected in light shades. They should be the same on two window openings.
A small living room should not be cluttered with a lot of furniture; it should only have everything you need. It is better to limit yourself to a minimal set of furniture: a sofa (possibly a corner one), a small table, a bookcase or a glass display cabinet for beautiful dishes, shelves, a TV. If space allows, you can add a couple of armchairs. Furniture should be positioned so that you can approach the window sills at any time. You should avoid massive furniture walls.
Types and decoration of windows located nearby
In an apartment, such windows are located on one or adjacent wall in a row. Sometimes, the openings are combined with the entrance to a balcony or loggia. The layout of a private house is interesting - there, nearby windows form a bay window, a mezzanine, a Berlin window on one wall and a biforium on the other. The latter option comes from Romanesque culture. How to choose curtains and drape each of them?
The main rule for several openings in one room is that they are draped identically. In this case, the interior will not tolerate even minor changes. Therefore, curtains for three windows in the living room or bedroom are selected taking into account this condition.
Assignment of rooms
It plays a role to a large extent when choosing curtains. For example:
- The living room should be formal, but at the same time cozy. Meetings and celebrations take place there. Upon completion, the room is used for family affairs and overly elaborate curtains for the windows are inappropriate.
- The bedroom is a personal space for relaxation. No flashy tones or synthetic layers - lambrequins, velvet. Natural dual-purpose fabrics are ideal - darkening in bright sunlight and hiding from prying eyes. Roller blinds for 3 windows and a common curtain on a long cornice are suitable.
- Children's rooms remain casual and spontaneous. That is why the “frivolous” fabric is tulle, silk, cotton and chintz. Prints with cartoon characters are suitable for young children. Teenagers, especially girls, will demand airiness and their own vision of color. It is important not to indulge if the child wants red shades - they affect eye health and mental balance . It’s a paradox, but dark or even black curtains for three windows can calm little fidgets.
- For kitchens, several windows on the wall are more an advantage than a disadvantage. They are decorated no less beautifully than the rest of the rooms. Wide areas of window sills are of practical importance for housewives - herbs and vegetables are grown there.
Kitchen
Choosing curtains to suit your soul is an important condition for comfort. Even the most luxurious curtains can ruin the interior if you don’t like them.
Fabric colors and structure
The correct design of curtains for three windows follows the style of the house. Examples:
- If this is a modern or classic living room, then the curtains are luxurious and multi-layered. Silk, organza, velvet. The tone of the main curtain is selected in accordance with the largest piece of furniture or walls, but without merging with them. The remaining layers are contrasting.
Curtains for a French or Berlin window will help you decorate your living room in a formal style - these are nearby openings in the floor or forming an exit to the balcony. When opening the canvases and beautiful drapery, the double-glazed windows will let daylight into the house, and at night, the loose folds of the curtains look no less attractive.
- For a bedroom, designs made from several canvases are inappropriate, as are light shades - it will be difficult to fall asleep. No synthetics are used. Since the bedroom almost always remains closed, dense structural fabrics with vertical folds are suitable - they need to be picked up firmly, otherwise the resulting creases will ruin the whole look. Curtains for three small windows located together are decorated with one canvas on a long cornice. Eyelet rings are ideal.
Curtains for three windows are not selected according to the bed linen, because it is always different. However, fabrics that are identical in structure are ideal. Cotton, linen, even chintz - this is what unites the materials.
- The kitchen does not tolerate darkness, especially if the walls are brown, blue or terracotta. Similar colors of curtains will bury the comfort. Perhaps such an application is only in large dining rooms, where the space is reduced in any way, but even then, the design of curtains for three windows or more is carefully verified - a large dark box, no better than a small one.
A win-win option for the kitchen would be three curtains in the form of lambrequins. Firstly, they don’t necessarily hang down, they drape beautifully. Secondly, it is practical - lambrequins that are not lowered to floor level are less dirty and wrinkled.
As for color, transparent white tulle, all shades of orange and green will add mood and warmth to the room. This is important - the kitchen has long been recognized as the center of household relationships.
The correct design of a window in a bedroom, living room or kitchen also depends on financial capabilities. If you shouldn’t save money on buying curtains for your personal premises - there should only be natural fabrics, then the living room is decorated with artificial fabrics that imitate expensive ones. The appearance will not suffer at all from this. The practicality of such curtains has been appreciated for a long time - they do not wrinkle, are easy to wash, and do not shrink.
Design of a large living room with two windows

In addition to the minimum set of furniture, you can arrange soft ottomans, a sideboard (buffet), a wardrobe, a bookcase, and bookcases.

The combination of perfect lines and shades, aesthetic decorativeness characterize the objects of this interior. All of the above differences apply to curtains.

- grabs;
- frill;
- edging;
- lambrequins.
Tiebacks are the easiest way to decorate curtains for a classic room. The canvas is assembled at the level of the window sill (if the window is not panoramic) or lower. Elegant soft warehouses radiate in semicircles up and down from the pick-up line. The photo shows several options for this design. The assembled curtain can move, be fixed to the wall, or hang over the tightening line.
Curtains in a classic style are decorated with frills, tiebacks, edging and lambrequins
The frill in classic style curtain models is located in the upper part. It is made short, but for the entire length of the cornice, thus combining curtains and curtains (for the classic style, curtains are a mandatory element) into a single composition. The lower edge of the frill can be trimmed with braid, rope, lined with glass beads, etc. Such edging enlivens plain fabrics and highlights the outline.
A special type of decoration for classical style curtains is lambrequins. These are additional fabric elements that are hung at the top. Curtains with lambrequins for the hall look interesting and rich. Lambrequins can be made from either the main fabric (the same as the curtains) or another fabric that differs in color and even texture. This decorative element can be positioned not only horizontally, but also vertically.
As a rule, classic curtains are made from natural fabrics in discreet colors
Helpful advice! When purchasing a ready-made lambrequin, you need to be sure that it will form a single composition with curtains and curtains.

The disadvantage of this arrangement of natural light sources is the difficulty of installing large-sized furniture. The main advantage of having windows on different walls is the constant illumination of the living room, regardless of the time of day or weather.
The placement of two windows on different walls can be used advantageously in design development. The emphasis should be on the corner where the walls and windows meet. In this corner there is a TV, a corner sofa or a chest of drawers of an unusual design with various decorative elements. You can make the room more “alive” by placing a small tree (for example, a palm tree in a pot), an aquarium, or a fountain in the corner.

Modern types of curtain rods used for hall curtains
When looking at photos of curtains for the living room, you should pay attention not only to their color, style, decorative features, but also to the cornice.

The composition of velvet fabrics is successfully emphasized by gilded tips. The cornice for light tulle can be decorated with cone-shaped or rounded elements made of metal mesh.
An interesting addition to the room is the baguette cornice. It consists of a decorative strip and a main structure on which curtains are hung using hooks.

- Short double rods. Suitable for several openings installed right up to the ceiling in rooms with considerable height.
- Ceiling. They will bring the curtains to the foreground, thereby increasing the space of the openings if they are small, or reducing the height of the ceilings, which also sometimes looks bad.
- Strings. They are intended only for light fabrics and the design of several windows, if they are complex - French, Berlin, Romanesque. Thus, they are emphasized favorably - the string is practically invisible.

Smart living room design without windows
A living room without windows is, of course, the result of redevelopment and is a particularly difficult case for design. However, do not despair, because taking into account some important points, you can make the room beautiful and quite suitable for spending time in it comfortably.
If there are no windows in the living room, then you need to make good lighting by installing a sufficient number of lighting fixtures
Here are the key points to consider when renovating a windowless living room:
- You definitely need to think about the lighting in the room, installing not only a chandelier, but also point light sources in the room;
- A living room without a window is deprived not only of light, but also of the possibility of ventilation, so you need to carefully consider the ventilation system;
- An already dark room should not be aggravated by dark colors in the decoration; it is better to make the walls light, although the floor, for example, can be left dark so that the contrast visually expands the room;
- It is recommended to leave the walls as free as possible from a large number of paintings and home photographs;
- Textiles add coziness and harmony to any room, and therefore a living room that has lost curtains must have other textile elements in the interior, for example, rugs, bedspreads or blankets.
Considering these key points, a room without a window will look no worse than its lighter counterparts.
Functional and decorative: tulle and curtains for the living room
Many people choose a composition of curtains and tulle to decorate their windows. Particularly attractive are the options where the curtains are made of thick fabric. White transparent tulle visually expands the window opening, making the strict lines of the frames less noticeable. Compositions look original when the tulle curtains and curtains have the same shade.
A composition of curtains and tulle is the most popular solution for the hall
Designers offer many of the most unexpected design solutions. Photos of curtains and tulle in a classic-style room often demonstrate a contrasting combination. Images of more romantic interiors offer tulle and chiffon in one composition, plain silk fabrics and rather variegated curtains with delicate weaving.
It seems that choosing tulle is not difficult, because curtains dominate the window design, and they are the ones that should most closely match the style. However, when choosing curtains, you should adhere to certain rules and restrictions:
- If the curtain model for the hall has additional decorative elements in the form of lambrequins, then it is better to use smooth curtains or products with small, inexpressive patterns.
- Single-color curtains and curtains should differ by at least 5 tones - otherwise they will merge. Moreover, the curtains, that is, the canvas covering the glazed part, should be lighter.
- Multi-colored curtains with small and medium patterns are best complemented with plain tulle without a pattern.
- You should not make frills on curtains or curtains. Even products of the same size will look different, and there will be feelings of disharmony and excess.
- In a composition with elongated curtains, the curtain should also lie on the floor. Its additional part can be 3-4 cm.
Curtains and tulle can be made in the same color scheme or in contrasting colors
Helpful advice! In order for a tulle curtain to look aesthetically pleasing and complement the interior, its open part must have a width of at least 120-150 cm (depending on the width of the curtains).
Simple and elegant: tulle for a small room
The hall is usually set up in the largest room of a house or apartment. However, in old-type buildings, even the most spacious room can be small. Heavy curtains in such a room are completely inappropriate. Even light canvases can be redundant. The windows of small rooms can be decorated only with tulle, without using thicker fabrics.
The photo shows tulle for the hall with various technical decorative treatments. The canvases are embroidered, have a pattern, and an original edge. Interesting options are when tulle with lush ruffles in the upper part is complemented by a rigid lambrequin. The fabric flows down, creating an atmosphere of lightness and airiness.
For windows with large pieces of glazing, it is appropriate to use material with a large, expressive pattern. You can decorate a room with beautiful tulle in a Scandinavian style. For these purposes, you need to choose a smooth white fabric with a dense weave (that is, with small cells). Interesting models from this material can be easily made using tiebacks.
Properly selected tulle will visually expand the room and add airiness to the interior.
If a tulle curtain looks lonely on the window, you should use eyelets. They will add completeness to the composition. Tulle with embroidery or additional weaving, that is, heavier versions of the fabric, should be hung on the eyelets. Airiness and eyelets don't go well together.
Original living room without window
Don’t be upset if there are no windows in the living room, because there are several tricks to make the room look beautiful and original.
Among the most popular options are:
A living room decorated in dark colors looks good with spotlights
A fireplace will help create a cozy homely atmosphere in the room. Of course, this is not allowed in a room without a hood, but a false fireplace or electric hearth will greatly decorate the room.
A false window is a good design analogue of a real window, and you can decorate it with illuminated stained glass elements or place it on the ceiling looking like a photo print of a blue sky with clouds.
A luminous ceiling can also decorate a room; it is made from lighting evenly placed behind a translucent PVC stretch film, which transmits light but makes its sources invisible.
Photo wallpaper on the wall can connect a room without windows with nature, and therefore give the room some zest. For example, photo wallpaper depicting snowy mountains will help breathe freshness into the closed space of the room.
Which curtains are suitable
To complement bay windows in the interior, you can use various curtain options:
- Blinds. Vertical or horizontal models will make the room strict, beautiful and organic.
- Roman or roll. Popular options for decorating irregularly shaped window openings.
- Tulle and muslin. Light curtains that will give the room airiness and elegance. This design will visually expand the space.
- Curtains. Thick fabric curtains emphasize the shape of the window and create a bright accent.
- French. Such models will add romance. They form spectacular folds, expanding and brightening the room.
In addition to curtain style, be sure to consider size. Both short and long models look good. A shortened version will help free up the window sill and make it more functional. Dense long canvases will decorate the room and make it warm.

Living room with two windows.
Traditionally, one window is installed in one room, but if the room is large, then there can be several windows, so the room will be literally immersed in natural light. Most often, such window “twins” are placed on one wall or on two adjacent walls - concentrating them mainly in the corner part of the room, their height can also vary, some can reach the ceiling, others traditionally occupy a central place on the wall.
The photo below shows the best examples of interiors with several window openings.
Peculiarities
It is difficult to imagine a bedroom without a window, but if we talk about the location of the latter, it is sometimes unpredictable. A window in a bedroom may have the following distinctive features:
- The window is a natural light . It illuminates the bedroom all day long and reminds you that morning has come;
- One window is good, two is even better. The more windows there are in a room, the more light comes into it, and the thicker the curtains are needed (to sleep on the weekend or to curtain them at night from yard lights);
- It can have a standard rectangular shape or be unusual - panoramic, round, have an atypical design or finish (wood, metallic, colored);
- The opening can act as an accent in the bedroom if it is panoramic or very large. If there are two or three windows and they are located on one or two walls, then this is a kind of “feature” of the room;
- None of them can do without decorating with curtains or blinds , so a bedroom with openings becomes almost 100% cozy and homely.
A bedroom with windows is a classic of the apartment genre. There is nothing unusual about it at first glance, but the more windows it has and the more interesting their shape, the more charming and original the room becomes.
Living room with two windows - design examples.
- The interior of a room with two windows can be safely decorated in a darker palette; the visual darkness of the walls is more than compensated by the abundance of window light, and so that in the evening the room does not seem gloomy, take care of various artificial lighting - chandeliers, floor lamps, wall lamps.
- If the windows are located on one wall, then you can install a fireplace between them, and whether it will be real or electric will depend on your desire.
- In a large living room, sofas and armchairs can be placed directly in front of the windows, in a Western style.

- The space between the windows can be occupied by a painting, a mirror or a family portrait.

- For windows located at an angle (on two walls), a corner furniture arrangement is suitable - a sofa and an armchair, and in front of them a compact coffee table.
- A voluminous ceiling chandelier will suit narrow, high, floor-to-ceiling windows, so pay special attention to its choice.
- You can also hang a TV on a bracket on the wall between the windows.
- It is better to choose light-colored curtains for the windows, but if the side of the room is shady, then you can do without curtains altogether.
- Curtains that are identical to each other should be hung on the windows.
- Stone or dark wood will look perfect in a room with such high-quality natural light; this material just begs to be used in a room with two windows.
