I am loving my first Friday Favourites instalment for 2017, I have really enjoyed gathering these photos for you, of one of my favourite things- the window seat.

What may usually be a somewhat unused area, adding a window seat to a hallway, stairway, entrance or living area can dramatically breathe new life and usability to your space.

What I love about window seats, is that whether you are building a new home, remodelling or simply updating, adding a window seat is a simple addition. It will provide you with not only a space to unwind, but additional storage and added value to your property. It also makes sure that you have a breathtaking view looking out whilst you are relaxing.

A special bonus that you will enjoy when you install a window seat, is that they often trap sun, which is gorgeous and warm to lie in and soak up, especially if it’s cold out.

All you need is some good books, magazines, a lamp and you’re set. I have collected some of my favourites below, let me know your favourite in the comments.

Stephanie Nadel

Assosciate Interior Architect

What makes Stephanie Nadel’s success story so remarkable is that she has come so far, so fast.
Stephanie, the Associate Interior Architect at Marylou Sobel Interior Design, has gained more experience, and handled more responsibilities in the past ten years than many other design professionals take on in their careers.

Stephanie, a multi-talented full service professional, carried out a wide variety of commercial and residential design tasks while she was based in London. She worked for three prominent interior design firms, as well as on her own, and served clients around the world.

In the process, she helped complete within 12 weeks the design and installation of a penthouse suite on The World, the luxury residential yacht that circumnavigates the globe. Prior to this Stephanie lead the full refurbishment of a lavish, Grade II listed, five bedroom home in the Hampstead Garden suburbs in London.

During her five years in London, she worked with Gensler, the world’s largest collaborative design, planning and consulting firm; MoreySmith, a leading design and architecture studio, and Fiona Barratt Interiors, an award-winning luxury design firm.

Assisting with projects for those firms, launching her own residential practice, and interacting with vendors worldwide provided her with project management, creative problem solving, sourcing, technical and other skills that benefit her clients today.

Stephanie earned her Bachelor of Interior Architecture degree at the University of New South Wales.

While she is adept in several aspects of design, she’s particularly interested in the challenge of refurbishing existing spaces. “I enjoy the problem solving that’s involved with existing buildings,” she says. “Although it is always a privilege to design alongside a team to create new and innovative structures, I love creating meaningful design from older properties and taking inspiration from heritage details.”
