4. Faking it with sofa

Sofas are usually large in size, so make sure they don’t block natural sunlight. The back of the sofa should be relatively low, so it gives the impression of a window seat. Try matching the sofa or couch with the background. Try making it look like a window seat. The surroundings and sofa/couch should complement each other. This looks gorgeous with bay windows.

5. Not just a staircase

Do you also think that the staircase is just to go up and down on different floors? Then, you are wrong, and we are here to change your mind. Suppose you want to make use of the space available in your house. This one can be your thing.

                                            

Having a window and space can do the trick here. Just lay some pillows and a small mattress on top of it. It will look stunning. However, the staircase needs a lot of space and a window. Otherwise, it is not suitable for you. It looks unique in a house. Usually, you do not see many of these.

6. Minimalism

If you are a minimalist person, we have some suggestions for you too. It’s about blending in when it comes to you. Focus on neutral colours. The pillows and mattress should be neutral looking so they match the environment of the room.

                                                  

The window seat is a great place to decorate as it blends into the background when you do not use it. When you want to get cosy, you can hang out here. For you, white, beige, black, and nude colours are great. You can also add some simple, beautiful flowers and plants to keep the room fresh.

7. Polka dots

If you have a small space and you want to draw attention away from it, use polka dots. It is very feminine and elegant. Don’t overdo it.

                                            

It will look too overwhelming. Use simple pillows and a mattress; paint polka dots around the window seat. Try to draw attention to the walls. A small room should not limit you to explore your creativity.

8. Feminine and elegant

Ladies! Do not hesitate to show your feminine side. Use all the colours that you love, like pink, red, and yellow. Show them off! Make sure that the shades match and those shades should complement each other. Retain the palette pink, and paint flowers on the wall.

                                              

The window seat can be decorated in such a way that it reflects your elegance. Add fresh flowers to lift up the mood: lay big pillows and a colourful mattress on top. Make use of the space and decorate it. You can add decorative items like candles, vases, and plants.
