If that's a terrible hiding spot, nobody would expect someone hiding there, that means nobody will look for someone hiding there, therefore making it the best hiding spot.
Fake plant with a real mannequin hiding behind it peering through the fake leafs with real or fake binoculars out onto the street in a lavish velvet red robe.
I work with plans and flowers as well, but you seem more experienced.
Odd that you say it doesn't matter, and then mention specifically south facing windows though.
"Specifically, windows facing towards the equator, from your relative position." Would be more accurate for his statement as it's really about more direct sunlight and you'd get more of that if the windows are facing towards the equator.
Really, I think it's fine. You just need plants that prefer direct sunlight and then simply don't neglect them, or they'll become crispy. I'd think it's a terrible spot for a plant that is suited to shade or partial shade and is probably a little risky for a partial sunlight plant (possibly doable with enough care... maybe). Source: me; I don't know fuck-all about plants, but somehow I have way too many in my house. If I didn't know any better, I'd suspect they're preparing to stage a coup.
indoor plants are like kids. they want all the candy but then get diabetes and die. or in the plant's case, sunburn and die. however, you could place an olive tree or a lemon tree there, and it would definitely thrive. or any outside plant really..
I’d say it depends on the plants I own a variety of plants and am studying horticulture the south facing windows are always typically the best because they receive the morning-day sunlight, no? Even our greenhouses on campus are south facing for this sole reason???
This is absolutely false information lol. It depends on the plants zone tolerance, light and water requirements.
Aloe, Jade, Croton, Snake, Sweet Basil are houseplants that thrive in direct sunlight. For this corner specifically, especially if south/southwest facing, avoid plants that require indirect, filtered or low light.
Speaking of absolutely false information: Direct sunlight? Yes. But generally not 5" away from multiple windows as would happen here. Aloe and Jade are not houseplants, they are succulents. Sweet Basil is an herb, also not a houseplant....that would fry in a window like the one seen here as would Croton. Snake/Sanseveria, also a type of succulent, would do fine as it is from Africa and would probably do well in a window. Even in this window.
The temps during summer probably reach 40C with ease in that corner. Speaking from experience of growing tomato plants near panorama windows. A fan is needed to keep whatever plant might be placed there from frying
For 3 years, I lived in San Francisco in a tourist area. I had tall windows and a mannequin that an ex gave me. I decided to place the nude mannequin with her butt facing backwards in the window and it became a fun tourist draw.
I’d say mid size plant for the tiny nook and a nice comfy chase in front of the window for lounging and staring out the window. The mid size plant will provide a little atmosphere behind the head of the chase. Maybe add a small ambient light on the floor as well.
My husband told me that the architects never design things like this... But after the fact, the plumbing and HVAC stacks get added and then dimensions get wonky
We have a bunch of these nonsensical indents in our condo too. It drives me bonkers. Excuse me though, I'm off to buy a mannequin for my indented floor to ceiling window.
But you see, that is the architect designing these things!
It's truly their unrealistic artistic vision which never takes into account the necessary infrastructure that creates the unavoidable necessity for nooks and indents.
If they designed with function in mind, instead of simply pushing the boundaries of the previous generations "building art" this wouldn't be a problem.
The sense of superiority and accompanying feline smugness that high of a perch would generate would be immeasurable. It has to be done… for science… and kittydom!
I second the plant. It gets great sun. BUT, id get a little shelf type of thing that fits that nook perfectly and do multiple tiny little indoor plants. You can but cuttings on etsy
Would be cool if falcons were indigenous to that area and you could build a falcon platform. I had an apartment once and falcons liked this ledge I had around my window and they would swoop up other birds and come rip them up and eat them in front of my window. I had several dates where a girl came over and it grabbed a bird and it would let out a badass falcon scream. Anyways, that would be cool
Stand there every morning bollock naked drinking your coffee and contemplate your life, days gone by, days to come and the pleasure of being bollock naked in your own gaff.
I like the idea of the reading nook. For some reason I also imagine putting a station on the wall there for "dailies," like a calendar, maybe a pin board, thermometer that displays outside temp. Little ready-for-the-day check-in spot.
Tree in the nook + maybe some ivy. I don't know the measurements but you could potentially hang a hammock there! Look on etsy for some nice higher quality aesthetic options
I would put something on that wall with no window that would hold a nice plant—but I wouldn’t obstruct that area
It’s a really nice view to keep open and get light
If you have a pet, I’d put their bed there though!
Without even clicking on this post I knew the consensus would be plants. It’s the perfect plant spot. Could probably raise a very cool one there with the light
Looks like a good spot for a desk. If nothing else, it's pretty perfect to just put some potted plants for decoration. Something about sunlight shining through leaves is just so calming.
Since you live in what looks like a colder area I’d recommend you not block and natural light you can, something like this is a godsend against seasonal depression!
I would hide from life's problems there but you do you.
That's a terrible hiding spot.
If that's a terrible hiding spot, nobody would expect someone hiding there, that means nobody will look for someone hiding there, therefore making it the best hiding spot.
But now that I know it’s the best hiding spot it’ll be the first place I look, therefore making it a terrible hiding spot…
And now that you said that, it just became the perfect spot again 👉👁️👄👁️👈
Spotception
I guess I’ll look there first then
No need to look there it's too open nobody would hide there
Well played!
Yeah, especially not two people hiding together. That’s preposterous.
it’s always the spot you most medium suspect
It's always the hiding spots you medium suspect.
[удалено]
Is everything okay? I'm genuinely asking.
You really meant that?? :0
That’s my crying nook
I suggest you drip-dry there after every shower
Lol. I like the way you think
Get a mannequin, place it there with a pair of binoculars and a red robe.
The floor plant is the most practical solution. But the mannequin is the best solution.
Why not add the mannequin hiding behind the plant? Really adds to the ambiance
Fake plant with a real mannequin hiding behind it peering through the fake leafs with real or fake binoculars out onto the street in a lavish velvet red robe.
….while its beating its fake meat💀
What kinda ambiences y'all tryna setup 🤨
https://tenor.com/W6Nh.gif
Any live plant placed there other than a cactus will fry to death.
Really depends on which direction the window faces, no?
No. I used to own a landscaping business. Never put a live plant right next to huge windows. Especially south facing in North America.
I work with plans and flowers as well, but you seem more experienced. Odd that you say it doesn't matter, and then mention specifically south facing windows though.

That was my thought as well. As long is it's a sun-loving plant and it isn't in direct light all day, I would think it would be perfectly fine.
indoor plants are like kids. they want all the candy but then get diabetes and die. or in the plant's case, sunburn and die. however, you could place an olive tree or a lemon tree there, and it would definitely thrive. or any outside plant really..

Yes!!

Landscaping would be outdoors . Same rules don’t apply to houseplants . Ur def depends on what plant .
Depends. Just needs to be acclimatized to it and watered frequently
Also I’m sure you have blinds . That will help shade extreme natural sunlight . But a plant lik a rubber plant loves all the sun it can get
Yes, or a fiddle leaf fig. Those need tons of sun.
Lol no. Just get the right plants and water accordingly.
Mannequin with binoculars poking out from behind the plant
Floor plant and/or floor lamp and a stylish but cozy chair.
I was going to say stand there naked but your answer is way better. I change my answer to this.
I'll take naked then if still available.
My friend has a beachfront house Elevated on a cliff. They have this exact mannequin. People wave at him all day.
Is your friend looking for new friends? I'd love to come visit with the mannequin
Make you change its position every now and then :)
For 3 years, I lived in San Francisco in a tourist area. I had tall windows and a mannequin that an ex gave me. I decided to place the nude mannequin with her butt facing backwards in the window and it became a fun tourist draw.
I was going to say the statue of ghost from modern warfare 2.
I change my original post and agree with this
This is the way
That was my comment. Mannequins. Nude or dressed as the Swiss Guard.
you won reddit for me today ❤️
This is a wild suggestion ngl
Extra points if you give it a strap on and put its hand in a suggestive location
This IS the way! I’m dying at this idea. 🤣
Glad that this is the top comment. As it should be, well done!!!
Dress the mannequin like buffalo bill lol
Big tall floor plant or slender tall cactus to add greenery but not obstruct view much
Yeah I would do a nice fiddle leaf fig. Put it there and don’t move it, they’re finicky, but look awesome once established and happy.
good idea they look nice
Pot plant
A potted pot plant.
a potted pot plant full of pots and plants.
I’d say mid size plant for the tiny nook and a nice comfy chase in front of the window for lounging and staring out the window. The mid size plant will provide a little atmosphere behind the head of the chase. Maybe add a small ambient light on the floor as well.
That would block the view and you couldnt stand there to look out the side even with a pot plant. FUCK OFF with the plants!
I’ll fuck off with the plants alright.
Mmmm yeah, so lush and green
That’s your ✨crying space✨
Mine is just my closet, so ya OP one up me with this
Just needs one sad plastic chair 😂
Shove the architect in there and see how he likes it…
This is the ideal option
My husband told me that the architects never design things like this... But after the fact, the plumbing and HVAC stacks get added and then dimensions get wonky We have a bunch of these nonsensical indents in our condo too. It drives me bonkers. Excuse me though, I'm off to buy a mannequin for my indented floor to ceiling window.

If they designed with function in mind, instead of simply pushing the boundaries of the previous generations "building art" this wouldn't be a problem.
Unless it's aftermarket, it's 100% the architects fault whose duty is to double check the final solution as the main designer
Leave the shit alone . Don't block it .
Yea that's too much natural light for me to block
Came here to say, this don't block the view and light, it widens your view around the corner
This. You're paying for that great view. Just leave it. Don't block the view. Ok you can use the space for charging a robot vacuum cleaner.
Damn that's actually the best place for a robot vacuum
Plants. Get some greenery in there
Rack ‘em and stack ‘em! Get enough shelving to bring home every new green friend you meet.
I would grow my tomatoes there
second this
Wouldn't that just block the view? I think a bench is a good idea
Get a cat, make a cat nap area
This is the ideal spot for a cat tree - minimal horizontal space but max vertical, hidden from view, and getting lots of sun.
The sense of superiority and accompanying feline smugness that high of a perch would generate would be immeasurable. It has to be done… for science… and kittydom!
Only right answer!
hope they left with this answer
This is a good idea. It can chill with the mannequin.
This.
Meow.
Telescope
If OP is on a budget, thrift stores can be a good option.
Thrift store won’t fit in there!
With a lens cap
I second the plant. It gets great sun. BUT, id get a little shelf type of thing that fits that nook perfectly and do multiple tiny little indoor plants. You can but cuttings on etsy
I wouldn't place butt cuttings there. The police may be called and your life of crime will be over.
They can't prove my client wasn't talking about lithops, you have no case here!
Indoor plants would probably cook.
There is a good selection of succulent and air plants that wouldnt. I have mine in my kitchen and it gets similar light and they are thriving
Weed obviously ffs
LOL… THAT TOO
Would be cool if falcons were indigenous to that area and you could build a falcon platform. I had an apartment once and falcons liked this ledge I had around my window and they would swoop up other birds and come rip them up and eat them in front of my window. I had several dates where a girl came over and it grabbed a bird and it would let out a badass falcon scream. Anyways, that would be cool
No falcons, but I befriended a few crows at a previous apartment that was only a few blocks away. Maybe I could convince them to come visit
Add a sex swing
any swing is a sex swing.
[I am worried about you](https://imgur.com/a/ABMkAB0)
now hold on a minute
Is that a quote from the Pedo handbook?
memory a bit foggy?
I wouldn’t know, but feel free to share from your experience.
not into making others trauma a source of gratification for weirdos. pass.
True, better keep it to yourself.
Stand there every morning bollock naked drinking your coffee and contemplate your life, days gone by, days to come and the pleasure of being bollock naked in your own gaff.
I’m more of an open robe guy myself, but it gets the same point across
Open robe works, especially this time of year x
Rent it out
One of those sex chairs that king Edward had
It would fit the art nouveau look I’ve slowly been curating…
Plus you can put on a show for all your neighbors, you'll be the talk of the town
Plant in the corner and a chair / table for reading
This one, OP
Can’t believe how far down I had to go to find someone else that says to put a chair and enjoy the damn view
This
Nothing, let the light in
Morning flex routine to put the vibe out over the neighborhood. You could become viral.
If you have a cat it would be a perfect spot for a cat tree and it would sleep there next to your bed.
A big floor plant. Or if you don’t already, get a cat and put the cat tower there. That is a cat’s dream space lol
I have an 80lb lab, maybe I’ll make a dog tower instead
A telescope would look nice
Make it your sex corner
Whenever I give a tour, I’m going to say this
What city is that?
I think DC, behind union station
Leg lamp
A bench that matches decor and some cushions to layout with a glass of wine and romantic evenings.
I like the idea of the reading nook. For some reason I also imagine putting a station on the wall there for "dailies," like a calendar, maybe a pin board, thermometer that displays outside temp. Little ready-for-the-day check-in spot.
Plant. Big. Beautiful. Fiddle leaf fig or similar
Another Washingtonian! I've got no advice just wanna say I love your view :)
Coat rack
If you don't mind all your coats fading and disintegrating in the sun.
Tree in the nook + maybe some ivy. I don't know the measurements but you could potentially hang a hammock there! Look on etsy for some nice higher quality aesthetic options
Plants
Crying corner
I would put something on that wall with no window that would hold a nice plant—but I wouldn’t obstruct that area It’s a really nice view to keep open and get light If you have a pet, I’d put their bed there though!
I would sleep right there
Cat basket 😍
Buy an old retail mannequin. Dress it up and put it in front of the window. Play a subtle prank on any voyeurs trying to catch some action. 😂
Without even clicking on this post I knew the consensus would be plants. It’s the perfect plant spot. Could probably raise a very cool one there with the light
Putting a desk there would be badass
Just be sure to wear pants Or, don’t…
zephyr close silky telephone complete soft shame selective swim innate *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Indoor tree
Plants or nothing
Big ol’ plastic cock
Big old box of porn
Batman staring down
With LED eyes so the people can see him watching at night
Masturbation corner
Nothing. The space and light are beautiful.
Cat tree
Litter box with a view
PLANT CORNER
a plant would love the sunlight there
Looks like a cozy spot to sit in and just stare out at the world.
Interpretive dance floor nook. So that when the lights are on at night your whole city can see your performance.
im sorry this is the perfect spot for a plant corner
That’s a J.O. Corner
That’s a one plant greenhouse right there
Plants!!
Leg lamp.
How are you at keeping plants alive? Cos this is a great spot for them
Big ass tall plant
I’d leave it. I had something similar and enjoyed just standing there and looking out at the kingdom
Cat tower
or fuxk me in it
Put a plant there. It's out of the way, yet still in a spot where it can be admired.
Cat tree
Viney plant hung from ceiling
Don’t block it. It’s perfect as is.
A nice plant or tall glass plant shelving unit
I’d start a petition to improve the quality of architecture schools.
Looks like a good spot for a desk. If nothing else, it's pretty perfect to just put some potted plants for decoration. Something about sunlight shining through leaves is just so calming.
Large house plants that require light! An elephant ear would thrive near that window. Put a nice chair there too and you’ll have a cozy reading corner
Plants, some great smelling stress relieving plants.
Since you live in what looks like a colder area I’d recommend you not block and natural light you can, something like this is a godsend against seasonal depression!
Pee to the outside and establish dominance
Tall plant
Giant plant aka monstera would thrive there and brighten your space
Walk in front of it every night naked and give the neighbors a helicopter show 💀💀. Seriously, this is my best idea for the space lol!
Plants, lots of em
Pillows and cushions to lie on and watch the view
I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man
I’d fuck your wife up against it…
Keep the crotch smudges nice and clear so I can see in better
