Problem
Windows that crack open only a narrow slit leave a room feeling sealed off no matter what, since the air and the garden stay outside even when the window is technically open.
Solution
Choose windows that can swing or fold fully open, so that on a fine day the whole room can throw itself outward toward the air and the garden instead of merely admitting a sliver of it.
