    Here in Ireland, in a lot of houses, we have the radiators under the windows. Therefore not a good idea to put the bed at the window because it blocks the heat. My bedroom is my favourite room as I've just had it finished with smoked mirrored wardrobes. I love them because not only does the room look bigger but it looks kind of mysterious. For me they were a good choice.

    Capeesh/Capisce: Italian slang for “you understand” or “yes I got it”

    • @MatsuriAndGaara281

      Except in Italian we never use the present indicative: capisci, but the past participle: CAPITO?

    Re: bed in front of window. It may not be a problem if you don't mind living with AC all the time, but if you need to open your windows for ventilation in the summer, that placement of the bed is a really bad idea. Also, many bedrooms are starved for natural light, and the headboard in that location makes that problem even worse.

    • @greeeneyes91
      @greeeneyes91 Před 3 lety +5

      Also, a lot of times (at least in the places in Europe that I have lived), the radiators are under the windows and you should not put heavy furniture in front of them, so that the warm air can circulate in the room and you do not get mildew too quickly (at least that's said in theory and in my personal experience, it is written sometimes even in the contracts that you should not put heavy furniture in front of radiators).

    • @Bkate23
      @Bkate23 Před 3 lety

      ​Regardless the opening, in Europe almost everywhere, the newer windows can tilt open from the top, so it is not a problem to open it with the bed there...of course if you have a radiator under the window you will not put the bad there, she said it as an option...that if you have the space, don't be afraid to put it there because it is not a "design no no". But I agree, in 80% of the homes, the radiator will be somewhere near or under the window, so we can't really use that trick, although in the rooms she did it, I really liked it.

    • @angelafrith2667

      Also, it is hard to close the curtains. In northern latitudes the sun comes up really early in summer, like 3.00 am, and you want to close the light out - or if you have street lights outside.

    My favorite and most versatile pieces of furniture are my modern, black leather swivel recliners. They are not the huge overstuffed type of recliner. They are very sleek and beautiful. But, mostly, they SWIVEL. Therefore, I put them next to the view window so they can be swiveled to take in the view and swiveled back for conversation and TV viewing. SO practical! Makes all living room arrangement so much easier.

    The bed against a window thing is actually more for point of egress in the case of a fire or other emergency. If you have more than one window, not a problem to have a headboard blocking one. But if you only have only one window, it’s a bad life choice (literally) to block it.

    Don't put your bed or big furniture up against a window if you need to access the window for:
    1. ventilation if you don't have A/C
    2. ventilation if its the only window in the bedroom and you need to "air out" the room
    3. in an emergency due to a fire
    4. need the natural light
    5. if your furniture is made from cheaper material that will ruin/fade in the sunlight

    I always have had my bed in front of a window. I’m a bit of a conundrum, in that, I love being bundled up in bed- sweater, blanket, throw, a dog laying on me and a cat- but I hate being hot. It’s December here in rural NC, not crazy cold, so I’ll reach right behind me and just crack the window to let in a little cool air and listen to the wind when suffocated in fabric and critters :). Point being, rules are guidelines… design YOUR space, to fit all YOUR little odd needs, and it’ll be uniquely beautiful and functional.

    In the Midwest in America we don't put the bed by the window because of lightening. It's a safety thing of sorts. Especially if the window or your bed frame, for example, have metal in them. It could conduct electricity and it puts you at risk of getting struck.

    Today, it's my garage! Cleaned it up, using "shabby chic" farmhouse elements (which would not go in my house) - a cotton runner rug and marble contact paper covering the old table. Looks lovey, and now I have a place for gift wrapping, as the ribbons, bows, tape, scissors are on shelves in cute nearby containers. Big wire basket corrals smaller gift bags. Focal point - an old white player piano - yes! In the garage. P.S. our garage is still full of stuff - no car fits in it - except for a toy car I artfully placed on the shelf, in honor of the room's original purpose ;-)

I also love living room seating that is all about lounging! Deep seated chairs and the ability to stretch out like on a bed is my idea of living room furniture. I don’t just want it to look great but it needs to feel great. My home is fresh bright and comfortable. Nice job on this vlog. Love your style!

    Re: bed against the window… I live in earthquake territory, I don’t want the window to break on my bed if I’m sleeping and an earthquake occurs. It’s beautiful, but I always ensure that whatever is above the head of the bed doesn’t have glass or is heavy. Our current piece of art I actually laid down and knocked it onto myself to see if it was too heavy. Definitely a startle factor, but it’s only canvas, so it passed the earthquake test.

    My favourite room in my house is our living room/ dining room. It has the perfect combination of colours and very comfortable furniture as well as decor. Personally, for bedrooms, I just use common sense that the big wall is usually where the bed goes and beside it night stands. Smaller wall has dressers and by the window maybe some plants or if you have a nook area you can put a small table. Some rooms have 2 huge walls well usually the one that faces the door has the bed and the other side you can put a sofa or a bench or if for children a double bunk bed.

    Love that you specified the bedroom setup where you should see the bed upon entering the room. We have our bed facing the doorway into the bedroom and in between the only two windows in the room. My husband is trying to convince me to move the bed (king size) to one wall or the other, meaning it would be on the left or right wall as you enter the room. I can’t wrap my head around that look and have so far managed to stand my ground and the bed is still in the position I initially described above. But he keeps (jokingly, I hope) telling me I’m going to come home from work one day and it’ll be on a different wall. Lord help him if that happens! 🤦🏼‍♀️

    About the windows: Personally, I feel, the window is what offers a great view and fresh air. So I place my bed in a way that it faces the window so I can enjoy the view as well as the breeze.
    I've seen so many designers place the headboard right in front of the window, and usually my first thought is that the window is wasted in that room. I guess people would rather look at the TV than the view.

    Definitely the foot rubs have to be considered! Don’t like beds against windows as it blocks the natural light (probably didn’t need to worry about that when you lived in Cali, here in UK it’s more of an issue), blocks fire exit and probably in the old days before double glazing you’d get stiff necks etc from droughts. Having said that my daughters bed crosses part of the window, but nowhere else to put a double bed in her room. She has a low headboard and safe exit via the other part of the window.

    She was born in Oklahoma in 1929, during the Great Depression then later they fled to California. [grapes of wrath} Her memories of Oklahoma thunderstorms was mostly why she never let us kids have our beds under a window. I always wondered if Oklahoma thunderstorms were any different from California’s or ours here in Colorado? 🤷🏻‍♀️

    With a high head board I didn’t get that chicago fall and spring breeze I love! The pictures you showed look amazing! Guess I’ll be getting a different bed.

    Ok please explain to me why I would want a rug underneath a dining table? I never got that it’s so much harder to clean and rugs carry so much dust so bad for people with allergies that don’t have time to vacuum every day.

    The bed up against a window is also a Feng Shui thing.

    The only concern I can think of about about a headboard going against a window and covering a good bit of it; is in an event that someone is trapped in there room during a fire and the point of entry for a firefighter is through the window. That individual maybe in trouble...Thats the only thing that comes to mind for me.
