Making Window Seats Work with Your Interior Design
 A cozy seat by the window is a cherished place. Bright and
embracing, window seats invite you to sit and read a book, take an
afternoon nap, or do nothing more than gaze out at the view. And
when you consider how much they can improve a space, it is not
surprising that window seats are popular
In cramped rooms, window seats provide not only economical seating
but much-needed storage space, while larger, less personal areas, a
window seat can be a semi-private nook from which a sitter can turn
attention to either the window or the activity in the room.
Typically, window seats are built into wall alcoves or recess made
by bay windows, but other applications can be just as effective.For example, you can create an alcove by using bookshelves or
 cabinets.
The look of a window seat has changed somewhat overt the years.
However, the concept and its benefits have remained.
In addition to its function as a private getaway for one person, a
window seat helps a common room work more effectively for groups by
offering a convenient place for a few people to sit and talk while
remaining connected to the gathering.
Window seats are versatile by design. And because they accommodate
the basic human need to sit and the considerable modern need for
storage, they have been adapted for use in all types of rooms. But
not all window seats have to include storage space or even be good
for sitting.
