Put mirrors, paint the window frame, and arrange a place to relax – we select simple and beautiful ways to decorate a window sill and make it a significant part of the interior.
1. Make mirror slopes
A simple and original way to decorate a window is to fix narrow mirrors on its slopes. They will reflect the street and the sky, as well as the composition on the windowsill. At the same time, they will visually open up the space and make the window a little larger.
Since the mirrors will be small and not very heavy, you can fix them with a glue gun or mounting double-sided adhesive tape.
2. Arrange books on the windowsill
An easy way to draw attention to the window area, which will take a couple of minutes, is to beautifully arrange books on the windowsill. Since this is not a bookshelf and not a desktop, there is no need to strive to compose a composition of useful and necessary books. Arrange them a little casually and focus on the decorative component: the books should be about the same size, with beautiful covers. You can add a couple of decorations to them, for example, candles or figurines.
3. Make a decorative composition
This is a slightly more complicated way of decorating a window than the previous one. You will have to make a beautiful composition of objects that combine with each other. It is important to consider their color, material, purpose, and size. For a long window sill, it is better to take larger items, such as a vase or a box, so that they do not get lost against the background of the window. If the opening is narrow, you can try something smaller, such as candles.
4. Set up a place to rest
This method has different implementation options. If you are lucky enough to have wide window sills, you can place pillows on them, casually throw on a blanket, or add candles and books. If there is no such window sill, it can be made. Workers will reinforce the wall and cut in a new window sill so that it goes under the window and holds better.
If you want to arrange a recreation area, but there is no desire to start repairs for this, pick up low upholstered furniture and place it close to the wall, as in the second photo.
5. Settle plants
This method is not as simple as it might seem. Many put flowers on the windowsill, but they do not look very aesthetically pleasing. Try following a few simple tips.
- Don’t fill the entire window sill. For a beautiful green accent, one or two plants are enough.
- Choose aesthetic planters to match the color of the walls, curtains, or furniture in the room.
- Assess the appearance of the plant, it should be healthy and undamaged, with lush foliage.
6. Put the lamp
You can put a lamp on the window if the location of the sockets in the room and the type of curtains allow. This solution is slightly different from the usual decorative composition in that it adds coziness and illuminates the space around the window, making it an accent. Therefore, the lamp can be useful if you have a beautifully decorated window sill, window slope, or walls.
7. Hang interior shutters
A very rare type of window decoration is internal shutters. This method is suitable for those whose windows face south. It will help not only prevent rays from entering the room but also make it so that it heats up less in summer. Also, the shutters are reminiscent of Italian interiors, so they will delight fans of this country with their colorfulness.
8. Paint the frame
Another way to draw attention to a window is to paint the window frame a bright color. This decor is well complemented by bright patterned curtains, colored slopes, or a ceiling. At the same time, it is better to decorate the room in a neutral color scheme but add a few elements that echo the color of the window, for example, the upholstery of chairs.
