Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky. Here's a way to achieve the look of a valance with a super affordable, readymade window covering: the woven shade. Tip: Run out to a big box store, grab yourself bamboo or woven grass, then make yourself a deal that you'll keep them raised 2/3 of the way up. This blocks out that extra amount of light meant for a valence but with the fully operational function of blinds.

Another unusual design for a window seat: curvy to mimic the window's footprint, and raised on legs. Darling and special indeed for an eating nook.

We've covered window seats as banquettes before, but look at these legs! Most certainly not an afterthought, this window seat/banquette is full of pizzazz, from the turned legs — which make it light, airy and feel more like a piece of furniture — to the curve of the seat that makes it fit perfectly into the bay window.

The same goes for furnishing your eating area with a banquette. Instead of choosing a built-in that extends to the floor, go with a freestanding bench raised on legs to provide a much roomier appeal.

This trestle table's dark-stained oval table top matches the curves of the built-in bench seat.
