Wall decor and 2x2 modern windows

Hi. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do on this wall? These windows looked better on a blue print. So many squares! Thanks!!

So you do understand that symmetry, set up by the windows, is an issue you must accommodate in this room? For that reason is would be better if your nightstands and lamps matched.

The lamps you have are too traditional and too small to be successful next to this bed. Find two matching nightstands and two lamps that are tall enough and you are done

Here are a group of modestly priced lamps from Target that are typically tall enough for nightstands.

I have other options for your wall but this is the simplest one.

Fred's lamp and table charts can be helpful.

Good advice! I like those ideas and the mock up. We have been privileged to be the keepers of family antiques that just can't find a home in this new home. That's what you are seeing on either side of the bed. Do we leave the space above the headboard alone/ blank or ???

Wait until the tables and lamps are in to decide. You might add a mirror or art that replicates the windows' shape.

I would hang drapes on the windows so that they are hanging behind each night table then add some larger lamps as suggested. I assume these are not the only windows in the bedroomso I would do the same drapes on the others and keep the ones on the square windows closed

Maybe a more interesting headboard to break up all the squares and right angles.

I used the Jonathan Adler Woodhouse headboard, which is available in many different fabrics. Not my rooms below.

I wouldn't put drapes on those windows...I would hang a drape panel from ceiling to floor between the windows.

Thanks Patricia and Chispa

Thise are great suggestions.

The pictures and attachments look really nice. We originally planned on having minimal window covering, but I'm coming around to a lot of new ideas. Below is a picture of the weird way the architect place the windows on the wall( so close to the corner!). We were able to fix this before it happen upstairs. But it was too late for this room. the curtains will completemy cover that corner. I now know why someone would build another house. we made a lot of mistakes we could correct the next time round.

Thank you for all the ideas. It is so helpful to get different options. Just about every bedroom we have is going to need window treatment troubleshooting. I shouldn't have taken for granted that the architect knew what he was doing. Our daughters windows for example.... below...... ugh ..... on paper and on the exterior elevations, I guess it made sense. But I digress, I'm trying to take it room by room or I'll get stressed out.

Your daughters curved headboard looks better near those windows. I would change yours to a high curved style, and then you won't need anything else above the bed.

Yes, for some reason you see things differently in a photo than you do when looking directly at something. That trick also works for artists to help see their artwork more clearly.

We might do a round mirror over the bed, and drapes on both windows to make them look like long windows.
