If you have a home with big windows it would be a shame not to take advantage of them to the fullest. There’s so much that they can offer. We’re not talking just about the fact that they let in lots of natural light and that they open the room providing a closest connection to the outdoors, but also about that fact that you can integrate them into the décor in many different ways. One possibility is to have window seats.

A window seat is always a great addition to the living room

It would also be a nice feature for the bedroom

AD-Window-Seats-Cozy-Space-Saving-And-Great-For-Admiring-Outdoors-02

You can have two matching window seats if the layout allows you to

AD-Window-Seats-Cozy-Space-Saving-And-Great-For-Admiring-Outdoors-03

In a room with large windows you can have a bench alongside it

Create a cozy reading nook in your family room or library

AD-Window-Seats-Cozy-Space-Saving-And-Great-For-Admiring-Outdoors-05

Window seats are great for many reasons. First of all, they are wonderful because they allow you to admire the outdoors and the views while relaxing. They can also be very cozy. You could have a nice reading nook and enjoy some pleasant time there while also having a nice view in the background. In addition, window seats are also space-saving.

You can put up shelves as well, great for storing books and other stuff

Mount a lamp or two on the wall for some extra light at night

AD-Window-Seats-Cozy-Space-Saving-And-Great-For-Admiring-Outdoors-07

You can use the space you have available in a smart way by taking advantage of the layout. So if you have big windows or a window that’s positioned in a convenient place, don’t hesitate to also add a seat to it.

Try to make the nook as cozy and comfortable as possible

AD-Window-Seats-Cozy-Space-Saving-And-Great-For-Admiring-Outdoors-08

Don’t forget the pillows, comfy as well as great accessories

AD-Window-Seats-Cozy-Space-Saving-And-Great-For-Admiring-Outdoors-09

Your window seat could also have built-in storage underneath

AD-Window-Seats-Cozy-Space-Saving-And-Great-For-Admiring-Outdoors-10

You could exploit it and get some drawers in there as well

AD-Window-Seats-Cozy-Space-Saving-And-Great-For-Admiring-Outdoors-11

A long bench alongside the window would be a nice addition to a large living room

AD-Window-Seats-Cozy-Space-Saving-And-Great-For-Admiring-Outdoors-12

Use colors that match the views and landscape visible through the window

When you have several windows in a room, use each one differently

AD-Window-Seats-Cozy-Space-Saving-And-Great-For-Admiring-Outdoors-21

Window seats are great for any room. You can have such a feature in the living room where it would also be a great addition since you can never have to many seats. You can also have one in the bedroom and relax there when you want some time alone or when you way to drift away. The home office could also use a window seat as it would make the room feel cozier and more inviting and personal.

  • ‘The Pilar’ by Ishmael Randall Weeks consists of four concrete columns that have books embedded in them.

  • The term “living in a bubble” may be associated with being disconnected from the harsh realities of the world, but in this case, it’s actually a good thing!

The Living O’Pod is an experimental pod house that promotes a better lifestyle through the integration of nature into the home’s design. Designed for two people to comfortably stay in, the pod is shaped like a transparent bubble that sits amongst the wilderness, with a design so minimal, it puts its surroundings front and center.

The two-story pod comes with a steel frame as its main structure, and glass panels all around, almost like a glass igloo. While this undeniably does a number on resident privacy, its remote location itself gives you the solitude you need to live with absolute transparency. The obvious benefit? Incredible lighting, stellar views, and probably the best sunrises and sunsets you could enjoy within the comforts of your bed!

  • Called Island, this double-decker driverless tram has been designed especially for the city of Hong Kong, for the post-pandemic age. It won the 2020 GIDA Design Award.

The exteriors have been influenced by the buildings with curved curtain walls found in Hong Kong. Huge circular benches mark the interior of the tram, which allows passengers to sit facing outwards. The interiors feature charcoal gray walls, cushioned seats, wooden floors and trims with natural finish.

  • The “Revolver” wall-mounted desk by Teixeira Design Studio features a corner drawer, which opens like a matryoshka in order to create a wider working area. The fun part is that you can play around with the 3 drawers through a swiveling and spinning system (hence the name) and overlaying elements.

Designer: @joaoteixeira_designstudio [IG]
  • Odessa-based architecture and interior design firm K&B Partners designed the ‘Shell House’. Led by Kovtun Yuri and Burakov Egor, the firm created this structure to function as a modern family recreation center, located near the sea in Koblevo, Mykolaiv region, Ukraine. The intriguing structure draws its inspiration from mussels – a common mollusk found in the local area.

The mussel-shaped home is primarily built from wood – including the structure, and the outer decorative shell. Although situated on a single site, it serves as a home for multiple families. It is targeted toward small families of two people, or larger families of four or more people. If you look closely at the intriguing shape of the structure, you’ll notice that it mimics the shell of a bivalve mollusk specifically. Two massive shells are connected via a hinge, giving the modern recreation center a completely innovative and unique exterior.

Multiple Shell Houses are placed next to each other to create homes for different families. We, presume, each family will get their own living unit to reside in. A view from the top showcases mussel-inspired cottages that are almost smushed together – creating not only an interesting visual but architectural structures that somehow perfectly merge with their surroundings.

Designer: @kovtun.burakov.arch [IG]
  • Persian interior with a slight Baroque touch by @neilleach14 [IG]
  • Gaia Tower, designed by @marianacabugueira [IG], is a virtual high rise project inspired by the Greek goddess of the Earth. The Tower completes the third Island Chain part of the Trinity Islands, a genesis project part of the city of Wiami, a Web3 virtual city that Wilder World is currently building.

All three islands are fully public and made for Community Building, they are projected as a refuge for virtual Peace and Serenity. The gameplay and Web3 development that is in progress aim for the High-Fidelity experience of space through hyper-realistic space-rendering and space navigation.
