The Beauty of Window Seats

I recently read an article on the This Old House website explaining that if you are in need of extra storage or seating, consider building a window seat.  They can be made extra comfortable by adding a cushioned top.  If they are placed in a window area, it is a great place to view the outdoors.  

A window seat should be at least 16 to 20 inches deep, 30 inches long, and about 18 inches high for comfort.  You can build a 3 foot long DIY window seat for $100-$300.  If you use stock cabintry, the cost will be on the higher end.  Dreamland Interiors would be glad to assist in planning and constructing a custom window seat for your home.

​Window seats can be placed about anywhere in the home including the entryway, bedroom, den, living room, kitchen, bathroom, etc.  If you place one in a kitchen or bathroom, you would be wise to use outdoor fabrics for the cushions.
