What small apartment owners need to do with the windowsill: it's not just a place for flower pots

One of the constant problems that haunts owners of small apartments is the lack of space.

At the same time, as noted by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , window sills are often – and undeservedly – overlooked.

Today we will tell you how you can turn it into a practical interior element.

Mini office

The window sill can act as a small work desk – since you don’t have to put a separate desk in the room, there is more space in it.

If the window is large, you can add shelves or narrow cabinets on the sides, and if the width of the countertop allows, then a cabinet underneath it. Consider adding thickness to the window sill and building a drawer into it.

Place of rest

If the window sill is low and wide, it can easily be transformed into a mini-sofa. To do this, spread a soft mattress on the window sill, put pillows and a blanket here and you can start relaxing.

Bar counter

To free up space in a small kitchen, you can turn the windowsill into a bar counter.

Its width does not matter - even on the narrowest surface there will be a place for a couple of cups and plates. And if the window sill is wide enough, you can create a full-fledged dining area.

Earlier, the expert explained what the decor for a small living room should be so that the room does not seem boring.
