In European and American houses, often at the window, instead of the windowsill, a special sofa is made or a box with a pillow if you want. This place is used to store things and as a seat for sitting. You can see how romantic and pacified in films by Jane Austin’s novels, as well as evaluate the functionality of such designs in other films or series, like friends.
In Russian houses, the window seat is not particularly popular, first of all, because it needs to be done, not buy. And although the creation of such a sofa is a fairly easy thing, a small percentage of men picks up boards and a hammer in order to create like a miracle. Probably because the place by the window is female love than male. But, nevertheless, we are actively calling all men, to equip a window seat for our ladies. This will be a great gift, especially for lovers of reading and cats. Believe me!
Underwater stone in the construction of a window seat can be a battery and window size. In a suburban house, you can build a window seat in two accounts, there is almost nothing interferes there, but in the apartment where to sit at the window would be a very magnificent occupation, there may be difficulties. But you can deal with them too. Firstly, the battery can not be hidden behind the box, but simply extend the windowsill. But when doing this, you need to strengthen it, for example, due to strong legs. Otherwise, the design may not withstand the lady sitting on it, and even with the cat on the arms. Another way to cope with the battery is a lattice floor that will pass heat from the battery and at the same time allow you to create a bench of the desired type.
A small window should not stop you either. To solve, you can choose three options: 1) make a small sofa; 2) make the sofa longer than the window so that part of it is by the window, and part by the wall; 3) make a sofa on the balcony.
The seat instead of the windowsill will add a special style to your room. Any house acquires an extra highlight due to this design. It, as a rule, is made in the form of a regular bench with a hollow inside for storage of things. Under this very bench sew or order a thin pillow, similar to a thin mattress. Decorate with an increasing number of pillows. This is what a standard window place looks like.
Sometimes, when the window does not allow at all (it is high or the windowsill cannot be renewed,.p.), then you can simply make a sofa that described above without fixing it to one level with the windowsill. In this case, the windowsill itself can be beautifully decorated with decor or flowers. Often in such cases they make a hybrid sofa, the back wall of which is extended a little upward, creating several shelves against the wall. Books are placed on these shelves. And this is a special case when the length of the sofa bench should be greater than the length of the window. It looks much better visually.
If your window is located in the center of the wall, then you can work it with additional furniture. That is, place a couple of racks on both sides of the window, and between them under the window build a window bench. Thus, you will increase the depth for the sofa, and it will not look like a lone relative against the wall. We advise you to choose racks and a bench in a plain version. By the way, white furniture will look most stylish.
If you are going to use a window seat exclusively for personal purposes, then it can be decorated with pillows in delicate colors, but if you also plan to give it a double purpose, combining with a sofa for guests, it is better to order pillows of less marg shades.
If the opportunity allows, make a place for storage under the seat. This implies both boxes that open from above and ordinary shelves with access from the side. Open shelves filled with books are a gorgeous technique.
In a country house, a window bench will be an excellent addition to a staircase opening if a window is installed in it.
