Nicole Kidman's modern twist on the traditional window seat makes this quaint feature possible in almost every home

Nicole Kidman.

The Big Little Lies actress may not have the conventional bay window that is so synonymous with this seat, but her twist on the conventional just made the feature accessible in every type of home. Instead of exhibiting a bespoke, built-in seat, Kidman opted for a wooden bench that (almost perfectly) fits the window area.
