In
my wood-paneled bedroom, notice that the windows are high on the
walls, with sills about 4½ feet above the floor. This
allows more flexible furniture placement, because even tall pieces
like dressers can be located directly in front of windows without
blocking them. It also provides privacy, because anyone on the
outside (looking in) can't see much except the ceiling. But you
on the inside (looking out) can't see much except the sky
unless you stand up.

My
room featured a hardwood floor and an attractive built-in desk and
bookcase. Unfortunately, the desk was not very deep, and its
surface was too high for typing. I had to put my typewriter on
a lower table nearby. Had personal computers existed in those
days, I would also have had to find another place for the monitor and
other equipment.
