If there was only one window in this room and it was smaller it would not look as spectacular. Of course, when using black it is important to have other black elements in the space to move your eye around. </span></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; orphans: auto; padding: 6px; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHxA-tFoavdUKEFQLju2rQ5sR47k4U4hAArwFln5zYbh2r4jsONOsk_KTraWHbs-jgq2GSKq2fOTYl7E5Jd_RUX9L_a5xwAqPUyvzKL1_7QZBfbF98sFDh-vPeFLGUP6ln8bmjR60SZyNp/s1600/contrast-panels-basement-window.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img alt="basement window solutions contrasting drapes" border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHxA-tFoavdUKEFQLju2rQ5sR47k4U4hAArwFln5zYbh2r4jsONOsk_KTraWHbs-jgq2GSKq2fOTYl7E5Jd_RUX9L_a5xwAqPUyvzKL1_7QZBfbF98sFDh-vPeFLGUP6ln8bmjR60SZyNp/s1600/contrast-panels-basement-window.jpg" title="Designing Home: Basement window solutions that wow" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px; padding-top: 4px; text-align: center;">Dark drapes repeat the brown accent wall</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/4976522/Evanston-Basement-contemporary-basement-chicago">Habitat Design </a></span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">I think this space could be  further enhanced by having something  under each window.  I am not a  lover of the dark lines and the blank wall showing between them.
