A window bench with storage is a fantastic multifunction seating option for a breakfast nook, living room, bedroom, or playroom. Not only do these built-in benches come with cabinets, shelves, or drawers fitted underneath the seat, they also offer a place to admire some of the best views in your home. Whether built under a single window or a stretch of bay windows, there is no window too small or large when it comes to window benches with storage.
There are several ways to decorate a bench with storage. Lay a comfortable seat cushion on top of the bench to instantly create a space for reading, napping, or long conversations. Throw in a few accent pillows and blankets to make the area even cozier (and toss them under the bench when you’re done with them). Take a look through our favorite two-in-one window bench seat with storage ideas.
