Bedroom Window Bench Ideas
There is something so very magnetic about a window seat. The minute we see that sun trap, bathed in beautiful natural light, we just can't wait to plant ourselves up against the glass. Proximity to the outside world makes us feel connected, without putting a foot outside the comfort of home. Upper floor window seats can float you above the city or put you amongst the birds in the treetops, ground floor benches unite you with garden life even in rain, sleet or snow. From simple extensions of the lowly window sill, to key extensions of living space, this extensive collection of inspirational window seats has it all.

Bed indoor plants right into the bench top, like in this sleek sunken planter design. Note how a subtle green pendant light is positioned to highlight the leaves, as well as to provide reading light. We love how the bookcase on this one is an open ladder design, making each tome look illuminated and precious in the diffused window light.

Flanking the window seat in towering book stacks might suit the more avid bookworm with serious reading nook ambitions. 
Another example of a reading nook style window seat, this time with lots of drawer space underneath. The drawers are a handy stow away for study supplies, or maybe just some cosy blankets… and snacks. Don't forget the snacks.

A nook next to the fire. What could be more perfect than a window seat between a majestic tree and a crackling fireplace, heaps of blankets and a perfectly positioned wall light for reading on deep into the night?

OK, so windows don't typically fill the full height of a home's staircase but when they do, oh boy, what a place to put a seat.

Cute seat, cute courtyard, what's not to love? Tropical colours and an easy breezy slouchy aesthetic help characterise the laid-back mini oasis.

This bedroom refit uses wood effect wall panelling to tie a large window seat in with the rest of the furniture.

This massive window seating nook could have been utilised as more floor space for the living room, but where's the fun in being conventional? The elevated platform gives the kids their own stage, and the adults a sense of boundary.

Picture perfect, this made-to-measure window seat incorporates built-in storage and display shelving in flawless uniformity.
