Dressing up in natural light

The walk-in closet pictured here has a dressing table by the window wall. The mirror is placed against the window, creating an interesting visual effect. Putting on makeup, grooming, and dressing up is best done in natural light, so this is a really effective idea. 

Don't forget to install some blinds in the window area so that you can have some privacy while changing clothes, and then you easily raise the blinds when you need some natural light at the dressing table. 

This walk-in closet is designed by Camila Chalon Arquitetura, architects based in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

The window wall is a great place to set up a desk. It allows you to work and study in ample natural light, while enjoying the view of the outside world. This can increase work productivity and make it more enjoyable. 

Slanting windows like the one pictured here can be a bit tricky to dress up, but they offer a great view, and it shouldn't be wasted. 

Waking up to the sunrise

Placing your bed against the window is one way of waking up to the sunrise and enjoying it from the comfort of your bed. By night, you may be able to say good night to the moon if you're lucky enough. There is also the possibility of sleeping with the windows open and getting some fresh, cool air from outside.

Make sure you dress your windows with heavy curtains if you're sensitive to the light, and cannot sleep properly if it's too bright. You can always draw the curtains open conviently from your bed in the morning. If you've ever wondered if it's raining or how it looks outside when you're in bed, with this idea of placing your bed against the window wall, you won't have to go far to find out. 

Seating in the sunlight

Make the most of your window wall by placing a bench or seating area by it. It will create a nice sunny place to read a book, have a cup of coffee or simply gaze out of the window and daydream. 

Pictured here, the seating area by the window wall has been built-in. Upholstery and cushions make this corner comfy and snug. You can also use the seating area as a hidden storage place. 

Display shelf and storage

Leaving the window wall empty is really a waste when you place a display shelf with drawers for storage underneath. You can also place a a vintage cabinet or something of your liking and taste against the window wall. 

Pictured here, we see some photo frames and flowers on top of the chest of drawers. This fills up the empty window wall, while also decorating it and adding functional storage. Space efficiency is clearly demonstrated here. 

Windowsill garden

The sunny window wall is an ideal place for a mini windowsill garden or simply a few potted plants. Plants can do wonders to add tranquility and beauty to a living space, plus they produce oxygen and improve the quality of the air inside the house. 

Pictured here, we see a small table and some chairs placed adjacent to the window wall, making the most of the natural light and the view outside.
