Do you think window decoration does not deserve as much attention as planning a kitchen or bathroom? The correct answer is - it deserves.
In interior design, every detail is important, right down to handles and other fittings. What can we say about such a thing as a window sill - if it is not covered with a curtain, it is among the first to catch the eye. The designer told about how to competently approach the issue of choosing a window sill and what to combine it with. Olesya Berezovskaya.
First, decide on the material
It is important to think over what kind of texture will successfully fit into the interior and will correspond to your aesthetic preferences. There are many alternatives to standard PVC that many don't even think about.
For example, the same plastic can be varnished or imitate wood, stone and other textures. Options made from natural wood are popular, they work to create a special warm atmosphere. Products made of chipboard or MDF are considered more affordable. The most durable are window sills made of artificial or natural stone, and for lovers of the loft style, concrete models that have recently appeared on the market are suitable.
For non-professionals, there are several methods that can be followed when choosing a window sill.
1. Window sill to match the frame
The easiest way is to start from the color of the window frame. In addition to the color, you can also copy the material. For example, it is permissible to equip a white plastic frame with a white MDF window sill. Such a window will look more expensive and sleeker.
2. Contrast games
You can act in a different way. Do not take into account the material and color of the frame, but play in contrast. The main thing is that the resulting window sill is in harmony with the overall picture of the interior. For example, a standard PVC frame can be supplemented with a wooden window sill. Such a solution can organically fit into the scandi style.
3. Window sill - part of the radiator
If you intend to cover the radiator with a screen, make sure that it and the window sill look like a single whole. So, the design will look more thoughtful.
4. Windowsill under the slopes
So that the window sill does not look foreign, you can continue it in the slopes. The design matched to the tone will serve as a kind of frame for a double-glazed window. If you want to add detail and variety, you can decorate the slopes with moldings or stucco.
5. Windowsill in a new role
A functional solution will be to change the window sill option. Its place can be taken by a tabletop, which will act as a desktop, or, for example, a furniture frame, which will form an additional seating area. So you can not only avoid dilemmas with the selection of a window sill, but also save space.
