Windows Without: LIGHTING: "The big challenges people run into are windows without and natural light," says Remignanti. "It's the enemy of a well-designed media room." He suggests keeping windows without to the left or right of the screen to avoid reflection or direct light.
A one enters a room, the windows without and their treatment are, as a rule, the first features that are noticed. For practical reasons, windows without are necessary for light and ventilation. Architecturally, they relieve the monotony of unbroken Wall space both on the exterior and interior of the building. Physically their transparency relieves the eye muscles by occasionally permitting them to focus on a more distant view than the interior walls themselves permit.See Also Majority Of Windows Are Rectangular:The majority of windows are rectangular in shape and, if undraped, create pronounced hard, straight lines in a room. If for no other reason, therefore, curtains are necessary to soften the severity and to serve as trimming of the outline of the window frame and opening.

On The Other Hand See Large Windows On Either:Windows are sometimes treated with sheer materials used as over-draperies. This is a saving in cost but is also done in expensively decorated rooms and is especially suitable where large windows on either windows exist with interesting views. In such cases soft sheer materials such as ninon, voile, and marquisette are used. The curtains may be hung straight to draw or they may be tied back. If the window proportion is suitable the top of the curtains may be hung with a sweeping overlap. Small cottage windows are also often treated in this manner, but the material is usually a heavier net or organdy. In informal rooms organdy and other crisp Textiles are often edged with large windows on either ruffles which also may be used for tie-backs and a single or double row used at the top as a valance.
