What is a window seat?

Window seats typically are one of three types. Each type can be made with a storage compartment accessible via drawers, doors, open shelves, or a lift-up seat. An average window seat takes up about 13 cubic feet and provides about that much in storage space.



We have three window seats in our 1940’s home.  One is upstairs over the hallway landing, it opens to offer storage, I don’t even know what’s in it and I am afraid to look, I think it may be full of American Girl dolls, the 2nd is in one  daughter’s room and it also opens;  the third is downstairs.  This one was added by an interior decorator, one I don’t work with anymore.  This is the only window seat in our home which doesn’t open.  It is a terrible waste of space; if it did open it would be the ideal space to keep the shoes I wear to walk the dogs, leashes and my Pilates bag.
