Most penthouses have big or floor to ceiling windows, and you should look for it. Why? Because you will get a beautiful view and bring natural light inside. And what can be better than the natural light during the day? There is just one thing you might not like it, and that is maintaining those windows. A lot of glass for cleaning. 🙂 

When we talk about walls, a good choice for the penthouse is concrete walls. Choose the color carefully. Depending on your chosen style and taste, use a color wheel and pick the proper one.
