This detail from the 2002 San Francisco Decorator Showcase illustrates that it is possible to place a bed in front of a window to great effect. In this case, a minimal headboard, lightly frosted windows and lovely woven casements at the window complete the soothing atmosphere. (2002)

Michael Merrill Design Studio, Inc These were completely custom window coverings. The translucent fabric was from Jack Lenor Larsen, who is the single most important textile design to have ever lived. That particular fabric is no longer available. Michael Merrill ASID
Michael Merrill Design Studio, Inc I had it made custom. I no nlonger have records of the dimensions,m but it is only about 12' higher than the top of the mattress. Hoep this helps.
The window as a backdrop to the bed. Always thought this would be efficient use of space in our guest room, but wondered about creating a "secure" feeling in front of a window. The heavy drapes paired with the shers accomplish this. Fabulous!
