Ah! This is an interesting concept: Trying to imagine an alien environment.
You shall have to become an alien yourself in order to understand
its/his/her psychology.  :-)
I think the windows look too earthy, although there may be convergence
(there certainly should be, but in unexpected ways). Also the furniture will
be adapted to its/his/her morphology (bipedal?). Have you read 'Gateway' and
'Beyond the blue event horizon', by Frederik Pohl? There are some
interesting speculations there about alien morphology deduced from furniture
(that is shown to be wrong at the end of the books).
