Curl up and dream of creating a space like this in your home - by Home Beautiful

Top 5 window seats to escape to
John Downs

Taking time out at home is always a challenge, but creating a dedicated space makes the transition to downtime all the more inviting.

Plantation shutters moderate air flow and negate the need for airconditioning

A custom-made window seat by Alternative Kitchens (above) is flanked by aluminium bi-fold indoor/outdoor shutters and looks out to the tropical garden beyond. The upholstered seating doubles as storage.

"It's a lovely place to read and reflect"

Wendy, Homeowner

Adjacent to the dining room, this window seat sits in a classic bay window and offers space to relax. A neutral palette of natural linens and textures suggests a Hamptons meets French country look.

"When the weather is fine, this window seat is a favourite spot of mine to escape to"

Debra, Homeowner

The timbers and tones in this window seat reflect the natural elements just outside. Thoughtful planning allowed for cross-ventilation and natural breezes, rather than airconditioning.

This "magic corner" with custom-built nook has a view to the riverscape beyond and invites visitors the moment they walk into the living room. A working fireplace alongside means it can be enjoyed year round.

A bay of beautiful leadlight windows creates a reading spot and is the jewel of this home, encompassing period features, a light, fresh colour scheme and generous proportions. Hushed hues on linen cushions and a sea green ceramic drum stool provide a summery, casual ambiance.
