Windows are typically thought of as just something that a house has, that goes unnoticed in our everyday lives. However, with a little bit of creativity, you can turn your window sill into a fashionable yet functional piece of furniture via some simple interior decorating!

By constructing a boxed in area (that will serve as the frame) beneath a window sill that has enough space, you can then add molding and paint it to match the color of your decor. Next, you can buy a cushion that fits the top of this frame, or if you are even more creative, you can create the cushion yourself!

Not only can you turn the window sill area into a comfortable sofa-type seat, you can even add additional utility by having a storage space underneath it, or even use it as a toy chest for children!

Here are some photo examples of custom window sill cushioned seats that our readers have submitted to us to give you inspiration:

The finishing touches are how normal, ordinary things become wonderful pieces of greatness.

For example, if you were to look on the far side of sequins, a ballerina’s complex tutu is simply an apparent unitard. Removing that secret dash of his one extra special ingredient, the gourmand chef’s chicken tastes rather like one thing you prepare for dinner any normal traditional night. A similar thought can be made via the aforesaid chef analogy for your home style – the limited details like trim and molding will build all the distinction within the overall look and feel of your personal paradise .

Once upon a time, molding was an installation nightmare that engulfed the foremost bold designers. Materials were significant, tough to manage, and still required to be fit, painted, cut, and positioned – by no means a task for the typical house owner to undertake. Today’s materials eliminate a number of those challenges, creating molding and trim installation an exquisite homemade task that’s not very time overwhelming. However before busting out the seal gun and your hammer/nails, there’s some preparation involved and a good book on this subject can help.

Molding and trim work is not limited to the interior of your house, as finishing touches are also needed outside, too. Outdoor molding will enhance your house’s curb appeal, and with a plethora of options, it is quite simple to find what suits your house and personal decor style.

San Francisco-primarily based studio De Meza Architecture completed the Pacific Heights Penthouse venture in collaboration with interior designer Jenn Kesteloot.




The architects completely remodeled the interior decor of this huge 2,500 square foot top floor (penthouse) apartment unit found in a 1925 built development in Pacific Heights, which is an affluent community in San Francisco, California.

Pacific Heights Penthouse by De Meza Architecture as quoted:

“A total interior remodel of a prime floor unit in a stately Pacific Heights building originally constructed back in 1925.

The remodel integrated the building of a new elevated roof deck with a customized spiral staircase and “penthouse” connecting the unit to the outdoor room.

The unit has 2 bedrooms, a den, 2 baths, a powder room, an updated residing and dining spot and a new open kitchen.

The style highlights the dramatic views to the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge to the north, the views west to the Pacific Ocean and the City to the south.

Finishes include custom stained wood paneling and doors during, engineered mahogany flooring with matching mahogany spiral stair treads.

The roof deck is completed with a lava stone and ipe deck and paneling, with frameless glass guardrails, a sizzling gasoline fire pit, irrigated plant containers, and  even an artificial turf puppy park.  Oh, and don’t forget the solar heated cedar hot tub for lots of fun in the sun!”
