Transom window above bedroom door.

Transom windows also called transom lights sit above an entry patio or interior door or other windows. Typically non operating and used to add style and increase natural light transoms span the width of the opening they top and can be placed above single or double doors and sidelites.

They can go over any door or window interior or exterior. Transom window over a door in a bathroom notwithstanding the beautiful pictures below many bathrooms have no windows at all.
