10_dreamy_window_seat_inspirationsDreamy Window Seat Inspiration Photos

I have a friend, named Claire, who is an interior design genius. She would beg to differ, but honestly she is brilliant when it comes to design decisions. This friend was the visionary who created our kitchen floor plan for us. She was also the person who envisioned a window seat in our bay window. Magnifique! Adding a window seat to the bay window was a great way to free up floor space, add storage to the kitchen, and give us a cozy spot to sit and eat. You can read how I built the window seat with storage in our bay window here.

    Two and seven are definitely my favorites! Green and yellow are great colors for decorating window seats!

    I love all these ideas! I have a location in our playroom that is begging for a window seat. Looking forward to seeing yours!

    You’re talking my language since I’ve designed & painted more homes than I can even remember! Wonderful work your friend does! Love all the photos too. I’ve never had a window seat of my own but I’ve always loved them so. Great utilization of space.
