Window Seats

Feb 09 2012 ·0

Window seat.

The name alone seems romantic to me, bringing to mind classic novels and the image of a young girl perched on a window seat looking out, day dreaming or simply gazing at the stars.

Today’s window seats are no less romantic but are also a wonderful opportunity to add function and beauty to a space, as well as a way to connect to the view beyond.

Recently I oversaw the installation of custom window seat designed and built by Michael Cundari of Morpheus in Hingham, MA. The custom carpentry details not only lend beauty to the window seat, but help integrate it into the existing space. This window seat offers storage with drawers which slide out to the side, along with panels that open from the top. We designed a custom cushion to top this roomy, angular window seat, selecting a striking tangerine and ivory geometric print fabric. It makes the perfect perch for enjoying the abundant sunshine and the water views beyond~just ask Bella the cat!

Window seats are one of my favorite features and we integrated several into this seaside home, another recent project of mine.

This window seat in chartreuse velvet compliments the bedroom and is perfect for gauging the weather ~

The children’s suite is this home offers the parents their own bed and gives the child a small nest bed of their own behind this sheer. The treetop view from this window seat plays right into a child’s imagination. What a wonderful spot to curl up with a book, a few toys, or maybe even a nap…

Nothing says ‘we are so glad you’re here‘ like this guest bedroom. Here we find yet another lush window seat to place your “things” or to stretch out and relax as you listen to the ocean and enjoy the garden views.
