Sampling vs. Reality

Oh, I see! But a room needs furniture after all, and then the most beautiful window won't help you if you obstruct it, right?

It was about anthracite-colored or white windows...

Oh, I see! But a room also needs furniture, and then the most amazing window is useless if you block it by placing furniture in front of it, right?

Houses with living room depths over 5 meters are still being built, and if you have the space to arrange and rearrange furniture, this old cliché (which is completely misused) does not apply. I would rather install a floor-to-ceiling window than one with a parapet - the former offers a view of the garden and visually expands the interior space without barriers, even if a sofa is placed 20 cm away from it.

Yes, by now I agree with you - maybe it would have been better for us too. We just thought the windowsill was so great. Although I have to say, the exterior view is already better than looking at a backrest. Maybe someday we'll tear everything down to the ground

Although I have to say, the exterior view is definitely better than looking at a backrest.

hm... I have to admit that for us, everything that is inside looks quite dark from the outside through the window. That means: from the garden or terrace, I can’t see at all what is standing inside.
And if the sofa now had a striking pattern and color, I would simply put a flower pot in front of it.

I know, I am admitting that I am not following the rule... as for what this has to do with the topic: the construction company built this window for us instead of a parapet window at the same cost.
Here are two photos... because the ants on the lounger are annoying me right now

That's also normal nowadays since the glass panes are usually coated in some way.

Ours are not coated - double glazed. That's it.
