The Elevated Window Seat
Project type

Location
Connecticut
This cozy spot got a glow-up - without changing the bones. By elevating the existing built-in cabinetry and window seat, the space went from nice to next-level inviting.
I backed the bookcases with textured grasscloth wallpaper, instantly adding warmth, depth, and that quiet layer of sophistication every great room craves. Fresh styling and curated décor give the shelves new life, while still letting them feel collected—not cluttered.
The real personality comes through in the custom window valance and cushion, where playful stripes and cheerful pops of color wake up the window seating. Layered pillows invite you to linger, and the teal accent tables are perfectly placed for resting a coffee or book.
Every color was chosen to complement the rest of the great room, so this window seat feels like a natural extension of the space—just with a little extra charm and a lot more “come sit here.” Now the homeowners really enjoy this formerly unused spot.
