Late Summer Window Seat with Wool Blanket

Pale afternoon light bounces off smooth, cream-colored walls to illuminate a recessed window nook in a Ludhiana home. A thick wool blanket in deep indigo rests in soft folds across a built-in cushion, its textured fibers catching the diffuse glow. The late summer sun casts quiet, elongated shadows that pool along the base of the walls, defining the depth of the alcove. Dust motes are invisible in the still air, but the warmth is evident in the way the light saturates the fabric's weave. A small, dark ceramic cup sits near the edge of the cushion, its surface reflecting a faint highlight from the window glass. The wood trim around the window frame shows a worn, matte finish, at the base of the space in daily domestic life.
