I'm in your same situation. None of the rooms in my house are without windows, so I decided that if I needed to, I would shut the doors to the other rooms, and tape them as well, so that we had the hall and the bathroom, which made enough room.
I just had to make sure I had enough plastic ( I bought that plastic shrink stuff that you can use a blow dryer to shrink and make an airtight seal) and duct tape.
My plan also includes sleeping bags and air mattresses in the hall, food and water stores along with it, and living area is not close to the bathroom for sanitation. I have 10 milk cartons full of water frozen in my freezer that I could move there in no time, and they wold help to keep my food frozen if it needed to be. Also took a can of bleach, which can kill germs or purify water ( 2 drops per gallon) if needed.
Also I can use the shower to add oxygen ( as someone pointed out above, your water lines can add oxygen because water systems are oxygenated unless you have a well)
I also included every gun in the house. I dont want looters coming in and gaining possession of my weapons, and I od want to protect from them.
I plan on 5 hours, to a max of 24 hours. I also included the radios mentioned above, all battery powered.
Hope this helps.

Thank you, those are good ideas, especially the shrink wrap. I'll have to get a couple rolls of that.

I have a radio, should the batteries run down, that we can handcrank for 15 min time each time.
