But, window seats are often overlooked because they're pricey. However, here are a couple of suggestions for installing a window seat on a budget:

1) Check out this Rush Grass Storage Bench from Amazon.com. The cost is only $69 and the bench is available in a variety of colors. Place in front of a window, add some pillows and viola! A window seat that will go with a lot of decors AND budgets. http://www.amazon.com/Rush-Grass-Storage-Bench-Color/dp/B004CKE3TI/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1339283529&sr=8-11

2) Priced at $154.75 is this charming SEI White Bench with Brown Baskets, also available at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/SEI-White-Bench-Rattan-Baskets/dp/B001B57UE2/ref=sr_1_33?ie=UTF8&qid=1339284086&sr=8-33

3) Numerous other examples can be found on the Internet, but, if you don't want to spend a lot of money or don't have a window that a seat would work with, you can still incorporate the idea of a window seat into your home.
