How to decorate a window sill? Decor options, photos in the interior.

Flowers

The most popular way to transform a window seat is to decorate the windowsill with flowers. But even such a banal, at first glance, task turns into a fascinating task, if you connect imagination and taste.

Designers are advised to approach the decoration of the window ledge, as to decorating the shelving shelf. You can support some kind of concept (for example, put only cacti and succulents that are fashionable today), or just pick up some interesting flower pots. Green vegetation in ceramic pottery (cups, teapots), baskets and wooden boxes looks very original. And the windowsill in the kitchen can be turned into a small garden and grow healthy greens or aromatic herbs.

Why not experiment with plant sizes? A pair of large flowers can be diluted with miniature ones, but congestion should be avoided, especially if the ledge is narrow. If the windows face north, it is better to reduce the number of colors to two or three, so that sunlight can freely enter the room.

To dilute the composition, you can decorate potted plants with various trifles: shells, pebbles, photo frames. Do not forget about hanging planters, which will revive the windowsill and give it airiness.

Some apartment owners prefer to use artificial flowers for decoration, or rather, botanical copies of plants. They look surprisingly natural and do not require care.

Vases and bottles

A collection of glass bottles will become an extraordinary and very delicate decoration of the windowsill. Transparent glass surprisingly refracts sunlight and makes the whole composition light. Multicolored bottles of unusual shapes serve not only as decor, but also as flower vases.

Glass is a noble material. To decorate a window opening, it is not necessary to purchase expensive products and luxurious bouquets: it is enough to put a branch cut from a tree in a transparent vase.

Winter Garden

Real plant lovers will not stop the designers warning about the congestion at the window: apartment gardeners successfully break up magnificent green compositions in a small space. A wide window ledge with plenty of light, a bay window or a balcony is best suited for this purpose. However, even a small area does not stop the creators of home greenhouses: shelves, stands and hanging rails are used to place flowers.

Books

Another interesting and practical way to decorate the windowsill is to equip a library near it. Shelves with books can frame a window opening, placed below or on the sides - a lot depends on the location of the batteries. If you equip the window not only with shelves, but also with a seat with a soft mattress or pillows, the ledge will serve as a place for relaxation and reading.

Holiday decorations

During the winter holidays, window sills are often decorated with New Year's compositions: all kinds of garlands, candles and figurines. Such home-made decorations can be created together with children: cut cardboard houses, decorate windows with fir branches and cones.

In autumn days, the window ledge will be a wonderful showcase for demonstrating the harvest or help create a “frightening” Halloween atmosphere.

Decor Compositions

In European homes, window sills have long been used as a "stage" to display unusual gizmos. Often they become the center of the interior, attracting universal attention. To decorate the window opening “in a European way”, not only familiar books, candlesticks and wooden figures are useful, but also the most unexpected things: large framed posters, plaster busts, typewriters and more.

Travel souvenirs, gifts from loved ones, table lamps, decorative birdcages, lanterns are suitable for composing the composition.

Functional use

Sometimes the window sill serves not only for decorative purposes: if you expand the area for seating, you can equip it with a place to relax. The picturesque view from the window will help to relax, and the abundance of light will be useful when reading paper books. In this corner you can decorate the interior of the living room, bedroom and kitchen.

In addition, the window sill can be turned into a workplace for a teenager or needlewoman, and in the kitchen into a cooking zone.

Due to the abundance of daylight, the window seat can also be used as a makeup table, equipping it with a mirror and decorating with flowers.
