Windowsill-bench - the dream of all romantic. But it is believed that it is difficult to make, with no means in every home. I will scatter a few myths and tell you who and how to be able to turn a window into a recreational area.
1. wall thickness
This is the main stereotype. It is believed that the narrow window sill to turn into the bench is not possible. Therefore, the technique does not use, for example, in prefabricated houses. In fact, the sill can be extended by providing a screen for radiator. Enough at least 30 cm wide, but 40-45 are considered to be as comfortable as possible.
Council: Built-in cabinets or shelves on either side of the window will hide protruding portion of the sill.
2. The height of the window sill
Considered standard 80 cm from the floor to the sill. It is quite comfortable for arranging the bench. If the sill above, it is necessary to put the next stool-ladder. A 30 cm - usually critical height up to which will not be very convenient.
Council: Even in the apartment with a panoramic windows, you can arrange the window sill-bench. But it will still have to be created artificially, for example by choosing the appropriate width of the chest of drawers.
3. window size
The bigger, the better. But in many ways the size of the window will depend on who is planning to sit on it. Tall man needed more legroom and a large window height, low - not necessarily. Usually, all fairly standard sizes: 110-150 cm wide and 140-170 cm in height.
Council: If the sill is low, and you can get your feet to the floor, the window width is not important. The high sills more convenient to climb to their feet, so they should be wider.
4. Material
Standard plastic window sills are not always reliable, especially if not well zapeneno space underneath. Under constant load, he may even crack, not to mention the scratches and chips. If you plan to use the bench often, it is better to replace the plastic is more durable material.
Council: Critical temperature and the material. Most pleasant to sit on the tree and the stone of the least comfortable.
5. Textiles and decoration
For more comfort, you can lay on the windowsill a special mattress, pillows complement it. And the window - it's part and the interior and exterior. Therefore, the textile can choose how to setting the room and to the form of the window.
Council: Usually the window sill with the bench-not decorate curtains or choose laconic Roman. If you have decided on the curtains, buy wide eaves, the curtains fully open the window. Then use the bench will be safe.
