6 Dreamy Window Seat Design Ideas To Create A Happy Place In Your Home

We love how Mumbai-based home decor stylist and content creator, Archana Shivaji has styled her balcony window. It’s dreamy and ideal, and every piece of decor has been carefully selected to complement the other. Swing chairs are always a good addition to an area like this—a balcony or an extended balcony of sorts. The fluffy white throw that contrasts with the colourful, embroidered cushion looks so cosy that you’d never want to get up. The jute stool, jute rug, bamboo cane, and the similar cane/rattan ceiling lamps all go together brilliantly, and complement the rest of the white decor also well. While Archana has used white ruffled curtains from the Instagram store @thelovesides, you can also go with simple and elegant white curtains if they’re more your vibe. It’s the little details really that make the look, so the cute tea light holder, the kettle, the fairy lights, and the greens deserve their due too! Here are our product recommendations to help you recreate the look!

This one, done by Brady Designs for a NYC apartment is great inspiration for everyone who likes to stick to the minimal vibe. Subtle pastels, low-key, simple yet elegant decor is something that you can’t go wrong with, or something that you won’t grow out of or get bored with. We love the pastel baby blue and grey tone chosen by the designers, on an all white background. It’s also so easy to set up! You simply need plain white cushion covers, printed blue cushion covers to add a contrast, an intricately printed blind, a plain blue cover for the bay window mattress, and wall lamps. That’s all! And just like that, you can add an element that makes even a simple bedroom stand out. We’ve made your job easier by selecting some similar products for you!

Another maximalist design for the people who’re all for the ‘out there’ vibe, this design by Kajal in her Mumbai home is perfect to keep your bedroom cheerful. It’s certainly artsy, and has a lot of elements we like. While the linen and the curtains are plain white (but embroidered) they give a lot of space to make the other elements like the bright pink wall mirror pop out. Fairy lights are always a good idea, and the blue window sill is adding just the right amount of fun to the whole set up. Just imagine the effect the fairy lights and the super cute lanterns will add at night (it’ll be super romantic too). 

This one is simple, traditional and the most relatable. It’s easy to recreate because that is how most of our homes look like. It’s also not very complicated, and looks good without trying too hard. In fact, it’s a great living room window seat design for people who like to keep things simple yet impressive. There can’t be a better brand for home decor in classic, Indian styles than Amoli concepts, a brand that has come to our rescue on every festive occasion like Diwali. This is the brand we’ve picked out for our cushion covers, because it matches the vibe so closely! For the other hero in this design inspiration by @bhakti_achhara, the curtains, we’ve picked out white hand block cotton curtains by Rajasthan Decor.

This window seat design inspiration by Renuka Singh in her Mumbai home seems like a fitting use of your living room window. It’s a wonderfully cosy corner, a place that’ll make you look forward to waking up and having your morning cup of coffee with your partner or even your current read. It has a refreshing pop of colours, yet it's not screaming in bright colours to grab your attention. There are subtle and pastel yellows, whites, blues… dotted with always welcome greenery. We love it!

This design by interior stylist Leoma Harper or @styletheclutter is the dreamiest and the most idealistic bay window design ever. And only because it’s not trying too hard! The design is minimal and does not have too many elements. Plus, it’s all white, so it is really all about the window. If you have a bay window in your house, you can definitely go for this one! Recreating this artsy bay window is pretty simple too. We found matching monochrome cushion covers by Mason Home, a beautiful indigo throw by Twig & Twine, a white floor lamp by Devansh, marble side table by Claymint and a glass vase by Bonhomie.
