Bed not under or blocking window
FIX-BED-WINDOW-01Description
A bed pushed against an exterior wall in a bedroom that has window openings is likely blocking a window; pull off the exterior wall or shift 18+ inches off the window plane.
Why this exists
Beds against the window wall block egress, dim the headboard area, and create a draft. Place beds on solid walls.
