5. Workplace

First of all, rich natural lighting testifies in its favor. This will save space in the room itself, if you are the owner of a small amount of square meters.

In order not to extend the window sill, you can simply place a table next to the window of the same height as it. This technique will increase the work surface. However, do not forget to pay attention to the neighborhood with batteries. Most likely, you will have to think about installing heat regulators.

4. Rest zone

A fairly common choice is to use the windowsill as a place to relax. You can put a mattress and pillows on it. It is easy to supplement such a corner with poufs and create a full-fledged place for gatherings with friends or family.

This solution fits perfectly into a room with a bay window. By organizing seating around its perimeter, you can complement the area with a round table.

3. Table top

The next option will help you save space in the kitchen. If the height of the window sill matches the height of the kitchen, it will not be difficult to connect them. This way you can tie parts of the kitchen set, and not interrupt it at the window.

If you intend to place the sink directly in front of the window, then choose folding mixer models that allow you to freely open the windows.

2. Bar counter

This solution will become an alternative to the dining table and will save space in a compact kitchen. It is important to correctly calculate the width of the surface so that everything you need can fit on it. The table top should not be narrower than 30 cm. In addition, it is necessary to bring it forward at a sufficient distance so that those sitting at the counter do not rest their feet on the wall under the window.

1. Alternative to the bedside table

You can position the bed so that there is a window at the head of the bed. In this case, the surface of the windowsill will be an excellent place to store books and useful little things used before bed.

However, it is important to bear in mind that not in all rooms it will be a reasonable decision to arrange the bed in this way. This technique will be most appropriate for a very small bedroom or attic.
