My daughters share a room and needed some extra storage, shelving, etc, and we wanted to incorporate a window seat as well. Since it was for my own house, I didn’t take pictures except for these finished ones. The radiator cover on the lower right is held in place with magnets and easily removed when needed, and the bench seat lid opens up for trunk storage inside. I created lifted baseboards on this project to give it more of a “furniture” feel, and the entire project is up on 3/4” spacers to allow for installation of hardwood flooring in the future.
I installed color-changing LED lights along the top of the built-ins. They are controlled by a switch inside the center bookshelf, and there are additional outlets and USB charging ports at that location as well.
The LED light color can be changed with a phone app or the included remote. They can be set to sync their color changes to music or ambient noise in the room and my girls have incorporated this feature into their nightly dance parties.
