A window seat without a building project

You can enjoy the view from a window without adding a built-in bench. A comfortable chair in a suitable position may give you the same everyday pleasure.
Try a chair at a slight angle to the window and test the view from seated height. Check glare, privacy and whether the room’s usual route still works. A nearby table for a book can complete the corner without making the sill a storage surface.
Keep furniture away from window-covering cords and follow cordless guidance where children are present. Do not block heaters or ventilation. The experiment is about placing existing furniture, not altering the building.
