The one piece of art that never goes out of style is an amazing view. Even if the view isn’t technically a “million dollar view,” it can make your space feel like it is when it’s properly taken advantage of in the room’s design.

If you’re lucky enough to have a view of the sunrise or sunset, water, mountains or even just a lovely backyard with trees, then why not make the most of it? A simple arrangement of furniture can make all the difference. If the view is particularly spectacular, then consider how the room’s color palette (especially wall color) could affect it.

Here are 10 examples of spaces that took full advantage of the beautiful view the windows had to offer. They didn’t need expensive art to create a stunning space.

The furniture arrangement in this space leads your eye straight to that breathtaking view, positioning all the conversation areas and flow of traffic toward it.

Who wouldn’t want to wake up to that in the morning? If you have a beautiful view, turn your bed to face it.

Neutral furniture with low backs leave the space open to the incredible water view outside.

Colorful accents, like the pink coffee table and seafoam green sofa, create interest in the space without taking away from the view.

White walls were the best choice to compliment this wall of windows, because everything else recedes and allows the ocean to shine.

This white kitchen was made to compliment the view, even down to the polished surfaces to reflect the blue skies and water.

This room looks like it is literally one with nature. The wood and earthy tones make you forget there is an actual structure around it.

The accents in this kitchen are taken directly from the view to create a totally cohesive design.

This bathroom set-up takes advantage of the serene lake view and captures total simplicity and elegance.

Start looking around your home for how you can take advantage of the views outside your windows. You may be surprised by what you’ve been missing.

Warm regards,
