Why invest in a window seat? Popular since the days of Georgian England, these bayside recesses are perfect for reading and relaxing in the sun. Nothing says decadent elegance quite as well as one of these - despite the fact it’s actually a wonderfully resourceful use of space - and it’ll go down a treat with any feline members of the household.
Here are 22 stunning window seat designs - some classic, some a little unusual, they’re sure to point you in the right direction for a sneaky remodel in your own home. You can always talk to one of our carpenters to find out just how to incorporate one into the layout of your bedroom, living room, kitchen, lounge or study.
1. All boxed in
Looking like it’s been lifted right out of a library, this window seat is simple and a little special.
2. Double trouble
There’s room for everyone on this one - why restrict the length of your window seat when you can extend it to frame the entire room?
3. Cupboard extension
A perfect place to rest awhile if you’ve exhausted yourself trying to find something to wear for the day.
4. On the stairs
Why not break up your upwards journey with a little cloud-gazing? Upstairs isn’t going anywhere.
5. Patchwork of windows
Try mixing and matching a range of window shapes and sizes to create a beautiful, airy patchwork.
6. Panoramic views
Put the finishing touch on a spacious living or dining room by curving your window seat around the space.
7. Hidden behind a curtain
An ideal hidey-hole for those who like to retreat from the stresses of everyday life.
8. All the curves
There’s no reason to stick religiously with symmetrical, straight lines - curvy seats are just as comfy and definitely homelier.
9. In the attic
Don’t let an unusual room or roof shape be an obstacle to creating a cosy resting place.
10. As a storage unit
You’re already maximising your space with a window seat, so why not add some sneaky storage into the mix?
11. Japanese windows and natural stone
Window seats don’t have to be all light and warmth - there are styles to go with every interior design scheme you can imagine.
12. Up a loft
Add an element of danger to your favourite reading chair - you really have to earn that nap time!
13. Cosy enclave
A more spacious choice, this little seat acts almost as a room divider, separating the clutter of the house from the spot for relaxation.
14. Afternoon nap space
Window seat not enough for you? A window bed, complete with headboard and drawer storage, might be a better choice for those lazy afternoons.
15. ‘Round the table
Wonderful for entertaining, this window seat is an atrium in itself and ideal for the rowdy discussion of a good dinner party.
16. Sunroom charm
Window seats aren’t just restricted to classic interior rooms - consider featuring one in the bathroom, laundry or sunroom to give it a fresh, outdoors feel.
17. Modern and industrial
If you’re looking for style over comfort, it’s hard to go past this beautiful wooden design which effortlessly frames and extends the room.
18. Rear views
Thin, narrow rooms, such as corridors, can also pull off a window seat - just look at this peaceful corner which utilises space that otherwise would have been lost.
19. Just another couch
Window seats don’t have to make a statement - they can simply blend into the interior landscape, finishing off the coordinated living unit with ease and style.
20. Classic archway
Harking back to the classic styles of Victorian England, this archway provides the final, cosy touch to an elegant bedroom setting.
21. Wacky lines
Perfect for the risk taker - design your own window seat with asymmetrical lines and unusual twists: think floating, steps, mixing materials, crazy curtains and much more.
22. Wistful watch-hole
