I'm always drawn to the look, and then people discourage me, saying no one will ever use them.

In this situation, the Owners had four young children, pets and liked to entertain informally. There is either a child, dog, good friend or combination thereof occupying the window seat at any given time. It really comes down to whether it compromises your effective work space and how you intend/wish to use the space. It's no fun to be slaving away in the kitchen listening to your "you don't want a window seat" friends laughing and drinking wine in the other room....

This detail can also be a great solution if you have an existing window sill below counter height. My suggestion is to make sure your design is meeting your needs well and if you have the right space for this detail- go for it!

OK... but the wire wont be lower as it is fixed now. The wire in the pics below is the wall facing each other. They were leveled on equal height but the beam on one wall makes it seem a little above. But i think you guys are absolutely right that up and down lights wont look good there. I think you are right about down lights lessismoore. Would it look good if i go with two different lights on opposite walls??? it would look odd right.

the design looks great . According to me one side of windows can be used as bed wall . we can have blackout curtains or blackout window blinds . You can even play with drapery to define the area behind bed. We already have seating in the room so next we can do is give a console/ study table with an puffe / chair to it. also one can add a bench at the end of bed. Size you can check on your Autocad . Bed wall should be the focus when one enters the room, so I feel the bed should be placed like this . Dimensions of furniture and circulation space you can work on. Also WC should be on the washbasin side to avoid Future leakages and dampness in bedroom wall. all the best

Thanks everyone, I'm planning to get my floor tiled up soon, and then later the whitewash. So before all that, I wanna do away with the construction part, if required to transform this hideous corner. I had the roller blinds in my mind to hide these iron windows, but I will also look at options for changing them windows entirely if budgets allow. I might have to use some false ceiling work as well. Posters, I don't think can find space here, but a lounger sofa-bed is a surething with some nice lights. Please do share some pictures of the lights and loungers and floor tiles if you may, for suggestion. I'll be obliged. Thanks again!

We agree with you. Bedrooms don’t always need a TV. There are plenty of ways you can style the space opposite your bed. Here are just a few suggestions. Try including extra furniture or seating if you have the space for it. For instance, a tall bookcase, an armoire or dresser, maybe a loveseat of a chaise can easily fill up space. These also double as a nice spot to relax with a cup of tea or read a book. Think about bringing in a writing desk or craft table – to suit a hobby if you have one. If space is an issue, then use the wall to your advantage. A gallery wall or a large artwork can do wonders. You can even think about painting a mural or creating a tapestry here.
