Featured Design Element: Window Seats

Categories: Architecture + Interiors

We’ve brought you the cozy element of the breakfast nook before on the 2Modern blog, but it’s high time we give some attention to the older, wiser cousin of the breakfast nook: the window seat. It’s true, window seats get a traditional rap. You probably think of them as a more traditional, cutesy sort of element; some people even consider them to be more of something that goes in a child’s room.

But window seats are certainly for grown ups, and we’ve seen them popping up in homes of all styles, even modern. They are perfect for a little extra storage, and for curling up with a good book during a nice rainstorm. Almost always paired with a fun grouping of throw pillows and blankets, window seats are one of the coziest elements you could add to your space. Melissa from The Inspired Room has gathered a lovely group of window seats to share, and we think this post is worth a look, whatever your home’s style!
