Built-in Window Bench

45 to 60 cm for comfortable seating. Adapt to the width of the embrasure. The ideal seat height is 40 to 45 cm.

With storage: the chest under the seat stores blankets, toys or books. Without: lighter structure, visible legs. Both are possible.

A custom mattress with a removable cover, fixed tufting or cushions. Choose washable fabrics for high-traffic areas.

A built-in window bench optimizes space, creates a comfortable corner, and provides additional storage in the chest. It also highlights the bay window and adds a decorative touch to the room.

While a built-in window bench is ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms, it can be installed in many other rooms such as a kitchen or an office. However, be sure to adapt it to the space and use of the room.

To highlight your built-in window bench, you can install indirect lighting under the seat or wall sconces on either side. You can also plan for a ceiling light or adjustable spotlights above the window for a warm atmosphere.

In addition to classic fabrics and cushions, you can opt for more original materials such as wood, metal, leather, or velvet to dress up your built-in window bench. This will allow you to create a unique style that matches the rest of the decoration.

Although a flat seat is the most common solution for a built-in window bench, a slightly inclined seat can be more comfortable. This allows for better support and full enjoyment of the view from the window.
