Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Help deciding on floor plan 11May 04, 2020 4:06 pm LoveHouse Personal preference i guess. I feel suffocated in a bedroom with a high slim window. It would really make me depressed. We are now renting in Campbelltown and a number of new houses have similar high but slim windows. This was a deal breaker for us when we were looking for a house to rent last year. We took our time and found a house with 4m wide floor length stacker door to the bedroom opening into the balcony. The guest bed has a high similar slim window where you cant possibly see the outside wall. It feels like a jail room to me. Again its all personal preference! quote="Bebbsy"]Another suggestion for Option 1 to give you more usable wall and floor space in bedrooms 2,3 and 4 is to change the size of the windows so you can position furniture underneath. So either 2100 wide x 900 high, or 2100 x 600 so same height as your entertainment room window. We recently moved into our new house, our sons’ bedrooms have windows 3000 x 900. One son’s room has a double bed under the window, the other has a desk under his window and a QS bed on another wall. By increasing the width of these windows you are still allowing light into the room. But by reducing the height you have more flexibility in furniture placement and you will also save on cost of roller blinds or curtains. 😀 [img:1pgyu0mh]https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/86033_1588559298.jpeg[/img:1pgyu0mh] Yes, I get that and fully understand, however with limited space in smaller bedrooms it’s often a practical solution. In our situation, although our bedrooms are large neither of our sons have any interest in looking out their windows, so this was a good compromise.... they get plenty of light and can also see the tops of trees outside. As for our master bedroom, that has four large windows in it for the reasons you mention. 😉 This is a very tight fit, I'm not sure if you'll be able to achieve what you've described.
