Since the 18th century, window seats have been gracing the homes of the average American. These are miniature backless sofas that were made to fill out the recesses of windows. Their purpose has not changed since then. Until now, we still see them in our kitchen areas, bedrooms, playrooms, but most commonly in our living rooms. They will look simply perfect with window seat cushions.
Basically, seat cushions have two main purposes. They make window seats pleasant and comfortable while making the interior of the room look stylish. Seat cushions are great because they take away the hardness and angularity of concrete, wood or metal, materials that are commonly used for window seats.
Window seat cushions are usually custom made. You can have them in elaborate prints of stripes, solid colors, checkers and the like. Since window seats are usually exposed to the different elements of weather, your fabric choice will determine if cushions will last long. Choose Sunbrella fabrics that have UV protection and has warranty for five years from fading and staining.
Seat cushions are relatively simple to make so you can make one yourself. This way, you can save a lot of money. Here are the simple procedures that you can follow. First, measure the length and width of the seat area. Make a decision if you want a flat one or a more intricate sculpted form. Choose the foam that you will be using. One good choice would be memory foam since this material is great for support and very durable. Cut the foam in accordance to the measurements you have taken. Next, place the foam on the fabric of your choice. Pull the fabric while wrapping the foam and cut according to size. Sew the pieces of fabric and don't forget to stitch plastic hook and loop tape strips to make the covers removable so that they can be washed any time you want. Place foam inside the covers and put the assembly in the seat.
