Window dressing can address privacy. Shutters, daylight blinds, sheers . Don’t know where beams are to comment on windows

Do you need the tall windows in 2 and 3

And shutters my recommendation

Thanks, I don’t really understand where the beam is myself! The builder suggested we move them one window width over but I think that’s odd placement for a long narrow window. They don’t have to be full length but it was suggested that would look better for the exterior of the house but h

Happy ti not have it uniform from the exterior

asymmetrical window placement is more interesting from outside as long as the window placement doesn't compromise structure and simple venetain blinds create flexible light with privacy

And moving the two windows towards the front should be an issue. They will be read differently from the windows up the stairs and u won’t be looking at the front on like in a plan
