Window installation should be one of the first things you consider when building a master bedroom. Deciding on where to place your windows usually comes after determining the dimensions of the room but well before the flooring or paint color.
Installing Windows On the Wrong Walls Could Cause Nightmares

Installing windows in your bedroom for a light, airy feeling is great but if it means limited wall space for your dresser, armoire, chest of drawers and the bed, then choose your windows very carefully. Installing windows in the middle of a wall rules out that wall for the bed, so think it through. It's wonderful to think of a great view from your master bedroom, whether that means waves crashing on the beach or sailboats on a lake. Before you get carried away imagining breakfast in bed while enjoying the scenery, reserve the wall where you are going to place your bed. Will a large picture window work directly across from the bed?
Also, measure the height of your headboard if you want windows on the wall where the bed will go. Then, make sure you're installing windows above the height of the headboard. If you will have nightstands, then arrange the windows accordingly. Finally, don't forget the bathroom or closet doors! If you have an adjoining bathroom, which way will the door open? Will it block the light of a window when it is open?
Window Installation For Sweet Dreams
Many furniture layouts are foiled by less than strategic window installation. If your master bedroom is large enough and windows are really what you want, then create a sitting area with large windows to look through from a comfortable chaise. It will be the perfect little nook for morning coffee or a place to unwind with a glass of crisp Chardonnay. Be wise when you build your dream master bedroom suite and make sure to lay out your furniture before installing windows.
