11 inspiring window seat designs provide a place to perch or relax (even snooze) and add style to any room in the house, often with the bonus of built-in storage
Small benches on either side of a family room entertainment center create a handsome wall of built-ins that don't impinge on big views and allow for two semiprivate nooks kids can retreat to. The paneled seat fronts mimic the media cabinet doors; jogging them farther into the room adds both comfort and visual interest. These corner units, which take advantage of wraparound views, even have tops that lift up to reveal twin-size pull-out beds for sleepovers.
Tip: A window seat meant for one can be a minimum of
22 inches deep, but if space allows, 30 to 36 inches is more comfortable, with at least 36 inches side to side.
