A well-planned window seat isn\u2019t just about looks \u2014 it\u2019s about comfort, proportion, and practicality. Here\u2019s what to consider when planning your perfect window seat:<\/p><ul data-start=\"284\" data-end=\"1551\"><li data-start=\"284\" data-end=\"572\"><p data-start=\"286\" data-end=\"572\"><strong data-start=\"286\" data-end=\"305\">Depth &amp; Height:<\/strong><br data-start=\"305\" data-end=\"308\" \/>The ideal seat height is around <strong data-start=\"342\" data-end=\"358\">18\u201320 inches<\/strong>, similar to a standard chair, while the depth should be <strong data-start=\"415\" data-end=\"431\" data-is-only-node=\"\">16\u201324 inches<\/strong> depending on how you plan to use it.
