A DIY window seat adds charm and function to any room. Select a window with enough space for seating. Build a sturdy bench frame using 2x4s, securing it to the wall for stability.
Top with plywood and add foam padding for comfort. Cover with fabric, using a staple gun for a snug fit. Enhance with cushions or pillows for style. Incorporate storage with drawers or a hinged lid. Sand and paint or stain the frame to match your decor.
This project requires basic carpentry skills and a weekend. The result is a cozy nook perfect for reading or relaxing, adding warmth and usability to your home. A window seat showcases your craftsmanship, creating a personalized, inviting space that enhances your living area.
