the window in my home office is set in 12". It looks so ideal for a window seat, yet 12" really isn't deep enough for a seat.
does anyone know the standard depth for a window seat? Can a window seat extend beyond the walls and still look right? if anyone has any pictures of window seats extending beyond the wall, post them! |

I've made them as narrow as 10" for clients. I say go for it.

Not sure that this is what you're wanting, but these extend beyond the window itself.

The last pic is interesting because it was a diy project using stock kitchen cabs. The seat itself was made with over the fridge cabs set side by side! Here's the link:

I was going to suggest something, and was trying to figure out how to describe it. But now I don't have to, because it id Lens' picture #3! If you look closely, the window is in a shallow bump out bay. the cabinets/shelves are shallow as well. I've seen this done IRL, and it looks great! Perfect for a home office, IMO!

thanks everyone for all the pictures and suggestions! They are all helpful!
Bookcases would be so ideal in this room since it is a home office, but on one side of the window the wall is needed for clearance for the closet door would probably look lopsided with a bookcase on only one side. This message has been edited. Last edited by: grandma_3, |

We had this built -- it is about the depth of a kitchen cabinet. It's great for sitting and watching the rain falling on the garden.
