I assume that’s a large window to the right of the bed (it’s cut off in my view of your post). So you’ll have some natural light. The question I would ask is: what’s the view from the two windows by the bed? If you’re looking at your neighbor’s driveway, maybe not. If it faces a busy street which intrudes on your privacy and/or is noisy, again, maybe not. If you like the bedroom dark at night, and there are lights outside that shine in, maybe not too. I like lots of windows but it depends on your situation because I only like them if they can be open to the light/view. If not, I’d skip the expense and spend the $$ elsewhere because in addition to their cost and maintenance, you’ll have to “dress” them too.

I love windows, and especially having light and views from at least two walls in a room. So I’d never say no to windows!

I also deleted the windows by the bed in our new build. We have 2 other windows and a slider in the room so plenty of natural light. My reason for eliminating was wanting a whole wall for large artwork and a focal point when entering the room. If you want light but not the windows you can always add a solar tube. Also agree with Joy. ^

I vote fore keeping them. Without you will not be able to get any cross breezes in your room. I couldn’t live without that.

Have you considered the exterior? A home is NOT just the inside.

I agree that you have to consider both the inside and the outside of the room. If you can delete the windows flanking the bed in your diagram, it makes it so much easier for design since you will then have a 'bed wall' without interruption. Looking at your plan, the only full length bed wall you have is the one at the entry where you have placed the dresser which compromises the room. Clarification: the dresser doesn't compromise the room, the location of the entry door against the only solid wall takes that from a bed wall to a wall for your dresser which is logical. No one wants to walk into the side of the bed when they enter the room. JMPO.

I have a similar setup. I hate it. Those side windows are very tricky to dress. In fact, it’s been a year since I moved in and I still haven’t tackled them. I can’t come up with an acceptable solution that solves my biggest complaint - the fact that you can see the backs of the nightstands (with lamp cords) from outside. Yes, bottom up cellular shades would work but I hate them!

My advice is to think through how you would dress them, how they would look from inside AND outside, and whether you’d ever open them for cross-breezes. You won’t even benefit from the extra light if privacy dictates the window treatments are heavy and stay closed all the time.

No to the flanking windows. They're squishing the bed. Depending on height of headboard, some of the window casing will be blocked. No room for drapes to hang nicely, if you plan to drape.

Climate & orientation also a factor. Western Texas sun falling on the windows? Too cold if you're in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin...

Roman shades (or for that matter, practically any kind of blind or shutter) look lovely on windows flanking a bed. And rather than “squeezing” the bad, they complement it. If you like open windows at all (maybe not summer if you’re in Texas, but spring and fall), you’ll appreciate the breeze while you sleep.

Many unanswered questios..

First or second story

Elevation of window within the wall and room

Whether or not you are a shade, shutter, or curtain type person

A LAMP cord can be tacked to a leg on a table.........lol

A finished on all sides side table, can solve back views if first floor or to the floor elevation of windows

Are you a DARK AND BLACKED OUT sleeper? No point in more windows if you are

So..........................and what does the exterior look like with/without.

The bed is not "squished". It's just between windows. Common, btw.

Thank you all very much for your insights & perspectives. I realize now I didn’t give much context to the plans. The wall that houses the dresser is a wall that will now back up to a common area, so can’t do a window there. The dark shaded area represents the additional square footage I’m adding on to that part of the house. I’m very happy with the layout & my only hang up were the two small windows flanking the bed. So I appreciate that most of you suggested to consider the outside as well as the inside. I did just that!! Stood there staring at what will become my new master... As much as I love light & generally avoid saying no to windows. I’m moving forward with eliminating them. (Primarily because my neighbor is also remodeling and just opened up his wall to add two additional windows on his second level & a door... which now has plain view of my Master BD... I’m in a ranch style. So...with that, I’m enlarging the only window in the room which will give me a nice view of the pool/backyard. THANK YOU, again!

Have you considered using a wide clerestory window over the bed?

A casement above the bed would be nice. But that barn door, yo.....I just don't know. Does it go to the bathroom?
