Heather HilliardThat little window bench is going to be the most popular seat in this peaceful sitting room designed by Heather Hilliard. The softly curved ceilings and pale blue and neutral color palette set a relaxed mood. 12 Fake It

Janie MolsterYou don’t need to invest in built-ins or a bespoke sofa to have a showstopping window seat. Interior designer Janie Molster slid a settee in front of angled bay windows, then hung sheer curtains in front of the opening. The contrasting colors and textures of the woodwork, upholstery, and drapes give this nook extra depth and an intimate feeling.13 Camouflage It

Tamsin JohnsonThough understated and neutral in color, this living room designed by Tamsin Johnson bursts with mod personality, from the arc lamp to the rattan furniture. The extra-large widow seat blends into the background when not in use (thanks to the light-colored bench and sculptural pillows) but offers tons of seating when needed.14 Sneak in Shelves

Elizabeth CooperYou don’t need a ton of space for a window reading nook. Smaller can actually be better for a reading spot, like this serene one designed by Elizabeth Cooper. Look closely and you’ll notice an extra-efficient detail: interior shelves built in for more books.15 Make It Modern

Studio DBPerfectly proportioned with the tall, slim window, this built-in bench by Studio DB is a small but transformative accent that injects instant style, texture, and bold color into a transitional space. 16 Pick a Pattern

Angie SeckingerCameron Ruppert created cohesion with a corresponding duvet cover, throw pillow, and wallpaper, all in classic Colefax and Fowler Bowood. Continuing the print on the ceiling and in the dormer window makes the seat feel extra cozy and enveloping.17 Prop It With Pillows

NICOLEHOLLISWith layers of soft neutrals and embellished details, this window seat designed by Nicole Hollis is a prime spot for a cat nap. A small stool serves as a side table for books or tea, and the oversize lumbar pillows let you lean against something soft instead of a cold, hard window. 18 Go Over the Top

Trevor TondroThe ceiling above the window seat gets the fun house treatment in this charming bathroom. Like a circus tent with a nautical flair, the bold turquoise and white stripes bring the space to life. The lesson: When you have a unique ceiling, play it up even more with paint. 19 Pack It With Storage

Angie SeckingerIf you want your window seat to do more than just sit and look pretty, put it to work with built-in storage. Cameron Ruppert outfitted this one with nine drawers and two cabinets. 20 Add a Headboard

Beatriz da Costa This elegant reading nook is the perfect place to curl up with a book or just daydream. While the wallpaper certainly animates the walls, the graceful tufted headboard brings out its pinks and adds polish.
