A case for window seats

Show us someone who doesn't love a good window seat and we'll show you a liar. Okay, perhaps that's a little dramatic but we're of the strong option everyone should know the joys of window-seat living.

It quickly becomes the most converted seat at the dining table, your favourite spot to read your book, and the ultimate nook to unwind and mindlessly stare out from.

They're the ultimate bridging point between the indoors and outdoors and practically speaking they add extra seating, storage and space.

Here are six examples of glorious areas in all shapes and sizes, from functional spaces to cubby house-like corners which make our case for window seats:
