Should I add a bay window seat?

Help everyone! Should I add a bay window seat? I'm thinking I could do with the additional seating and storage. Will it make the room look smaller?

I have similar dilemma with the small window Which to me looks like unfinish. For addition the window sill that the window is put on is very thin and without insulation. I am attaching 2 pictures of houses that I saw in BrIstol. I like a lot how they finished the small bay window. I attached as well Picture of finish between two big bays

If you keep it as a master bedroom I would definitely go for walk in wardrobe- we have a very similar situation in our room but even though we haven’t gained wardrobe space everyone that has a nosey thinks it’s amazing! We also didn’t put a door on the en-suite that leads off the walk in wardrobe so we could gain some natural light and it works really well keeps it all feeling more spacious than perhaps it actually is.

We can offer made to measure Bay window curtain poles. It looks like you could easily use ceiling brackets but custom brackets are possible and it could offer returns into the room allowing a wonderful curtain that doesn't then have to be floor length. Our passing brackets offer the chance to allow a pair of curtains to draw past easily. https://www.nigeltyas.co.uk/made-to-measure-bay-window-curtain-poles.html

Yes yes yes. I'm all for a window seat can't see any negatives in having one. Extra seating, takes up zero floor space, adds dimension, makes a room look comfortable and you can play with so many different patterns and textures to dress it. My ambition in life is to have a window seat....

If you are not able to push the sofa back towards the wall then the space may feel somewhat "packed out" if you put a window seat at a 90 degree angle to it. It's a beautiful bay window but as it creates a hemispherical space, the window seat itself may not provide a lot of comfortable seating! An occasional chair (not too big and bulky) would look beautiful here and really show off the beautiful space. Good luck!

Hi, my vote would be for not having a window seat. I don't think the bay is deep enough to provide a seat or to warrant one and I think the room would feel cramped. You have a gorgeous living room and if you really needed to fill the space I would add something more practical such as a small round (thus mirroring the bay shape) foot stool. I could be used as a side table, coffee table and of course for it's purpose. It can be pulled out or left as is and wouldn't add bulk.

I have a bay window seat in my bedroom. Amazing for storage and I love sitting on it chilling. The only downside is it can effect where furniture goes. Suggest you tape out the area and see if it takes up too much room.
