How to Position Windows in a Room

Most people give little thought to how to position windows in a room.

When contemplating how to position windows in a room, most people think in terms of the horizontal position of a window in relation with another window. But what about vertical positioning?

Most home decorators agree that windows need to be positioned so that they align in a straight line at the top.

This juncture forms a perfectly straight horizontal line which could compete with the tops of the windows, if those window tops ran in a staggered line.
