I do --- it's the only place to put it - I had it in the corner where the armoire currently is, but then it was like the room was on a diagonal.
Anyhoo, when I repainted last year, I changed the draperies and that made a huge difference. Having the drapes as wide as the headboard makes it all work, I think.

Before:

After: I have since put the original bedding back on --- and I hung the side panels about half-way between the ceiling and top of the window (8' ceilings). HTH

rob, I think the key is to keep the curtains as wide as the headboard as the photo above shows.

no-green-thumb, thanks for showing the proper way to hang drapes.

I have a king size bed under a 5' horizontal slider. It's the only place the bed can go. Before the remodel, we had panels on each side of the window, expanding just past the width of the bed (like the photo above). We just hung a 32" tv on the opposite wall. Not going to show the room as it has has NO decorating done to it since remolding. When we can, we're buying new furniture and then I can decorate.

Thanks, Brutuses == don't know if there is a "proper" way, but I do know it took me a long time to get used to. I just couldn't bring myself to ask DH to lower them, then have to re-hem the panels --- I am glad I didn't lower them - love the way they look!!

monica, I love the design of that headboard. Very pretty.

NGT, trust me, you hung them in the proper place, half way between the ceiling and the window top.

i used to have our bed under a window but i hated it, esp in the summer cause it was so hard to get to the window to open it..wash it..change curtains..etc..so i'll never do it again.

Thanks so much! We moved the bed and now I know what to do to pull it together. Thanks so much for the pictures!!

How about without a headboard anyone?

I am considering moving my bed onto the opposite wall that contains two windows together and would love to know someone else has that look!

Thanks

I love the look, but in my house the heating vents are under the windows. Even though my LR would look great with the couch in front of the windows, I can't put it there because of the vents.

Ronbre, you make a good point about maintenance. I didn't think of that.

The vent would be just beside the bed if I placed it under the window. Right now if you walk into the room you can see the window and the head of the bed is beside of the door. I would love to flip flop it so that you see the made bed instead of the end of the bed!

shermann, have you thought of a vent extender? If you google "vent extender," you will get hits for several different kinds.

I never heard of them, bbstx. Thanks for the tip!

But does anyone here have trouble sleeping under the window, as the feng shui experts warn about?

I want to put our bed under the window, too. Just thought I'd ask!

Thx,
FW

Well I DIDN'T have problems until I found out I was supposed to (according to Mr Shui) :) Srsly tho, as western_pa_luann said, it's nice to have the north breeze fall over us as we sleep. Being in Texas, that only happens between Nov and Apr.

I didn't put my bed under the windows because I was afraid I wouldn't sleep well. I was wrong. I sleep so much better. Don't ask me why. But I love it. And when I want to get some air, I just lean back and push up the window.

I have to put a pretty waste basket under the stand to hide the wires.
