It’s one of those decorating dilemmas we all ask- Can I put a piece of furniture in front of a window or a door? The answer is Yes. Check out some of these creative solutions.
Here an antique writing desk is set against a bank of windows. Notice the framed picture attached to the curtain rod.
The unused set of French doors allows space for a large table or desk.
A bay of windows creates the perfect niche for a bed.
How does an art collector deal with minimal wall space? Use windows as a back drop for pictures. Isn’t that great?!
Look carefully at the kitchen sink! A large sheet of window glass is behind it!
Here’s another example of a sink designed to go in front of a window. This time it’s a modern bathroom.
For those of us living in older homes, sometimes we have to block the view to make furniture fit. This bedroom doesn’t lose any of its charm by doing so.

great examples!! i think we’re automatically turned off of the idea of covering up windows with furniture, but it usually works out so well, as long as you can still let in the natural light and fit the pieces in the right ways.
