Reasons To Love Window Seating In Your Home
Window seating can be a great way to make your home more functional and welcoming. One of the best things about window seats is that you don’t need extra space to enjoy them. They are usually tucked up against windows, making it easy for you to use the natural light and scenery outside as an interior design element. And if you’re trying to cut down on active living time (because who isn’t these days?), sitting with your feet propped up on a window seat is a perfect alternative!
There’s plenty of room for storage underneath, so there’s no need to worry about feeling cramped or claustrophobic. In this blog, we’ll tell you all the reasons why having a window seat in your home is worth considering! Here at The Cushion Guys, we have offered window seat cushions for several years; they provide the perfect comfort level for daydreaming or reading a novel with a coffee.

Architecturally Appealing
When you walk into a home, the first thing you notice is the design and layout; whether you love or dislike it, this is the same when you see a window seat. You will either love the design element and how it fits into the home aesthetic, or you won’t like them at all. Here at The Cushion Guys, we love them! They provide an instant appeal and are the perfect finishing piece to any home.
More often than not, homes around the UK have wasted space underneath their windows, left simply for a radiator, but imagine if you had a window seat fitted? You would have an aesthetically pleasing design element that is also practical. Window seats are perfect if you have a bay window, giving you somewhere to sit and enjoy the outside in the winter tucked up with a blanket and offering an abundance of storage.
Additional Seating Options
Having a window seat in your living room offers much needed additional seating for when you have family and friends around or are entertaining. As a permanent feature in your living room, you can decorate the window seat with a range of custom cushion covers, offering a highly comfortable and relaxing place to sit. Pair the chair and cushions with matching blankets and throws you can create a genuinely cosy corner for your guests.
In the winter, your guests will be able to sit on the window seat and enjoy looking out across your garden with a hot drink, and we guarantee they will feel like they are on holiday in a winter cottage; blankets will help stop your guests from feeling the cold as well.
Custom Dining Room Seating
Do you have a bay window in your kitchen? Struggling to decide what to do to utilise the space? Have you ever considered using the bay window and creating a beautiful window seat that acts as part of your dining table? Offering a beautifully modern design element to your kitchen, you can choose to use the window seat as the back half of your dining table, perfect for children who like to wriggle around or to get your friends around the dinner table with a glass of wine.
Not only will this idea make your kitchen look modern and fresh, but it is also a great space-saving tip; you won’t need the space for bulky chairs; tuck the dining table up against the window seat when you aren’t using it. We promise you will love the way this looks in your kitchen.
Do You Need An Extra Bed?
Sometimes you need an extra bed in your home for guests but don’t have the space, why not use a Window seat? It might not be the ideal solution for some people, but it will be better than the floor. You can make the window seat incredibly comfy with cushions and window seat pads; believe it or not, you will feel refreshed and awake when you wake up.
Window seats are the perfect option when you are pressed for space; use them as an impromptu bed for guests who might not have planned on staying. You can even use it for a Sunday afternoon nap, curl up in on the window seat with a cuppa and doze off; it will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed. Cosy, warm and comfortable; what more could you want?
Light Therapy Releases Endorphins
Did you know that a little bit of light a day can improve your mood tenfold? The light therapy process involves spending a short amount of time in natural light; we all know it can be freezing in the UK, so having a window seat is one of the best ways to get your light therapy without going outside. We don’t know about you, but our team here at The Cushion Guys love sitting on a window seat with a blanket, simply enjoying the light and the outdoors whilst staying warm.
If you have a bay window get a window seat designed and fitted now, we promise the endorphins you will get from sitting in the sun for an hour a day will be somewhat similar to lying on a beach in the comfort of your own home.
