Functionally, windowsills help windows stay in place. Without them, the window opening would sway and move as the building settle. Besides this, there are so many things that you can use your windowsill space for. In this article, we will enumerate a few of the possible uses for your windowsill space at home.
Turn your windowsill into your own personal reading nook
As a bookworm myself, I would love a personal reading space at home, and windowsills can easily be turned into personal nooks! You can put a bench beside it and move your bookshelves near it, and voila – you have your own little safe space. If you want to do it for your kids like this one in the photo below, you can also put a lower and more comfortable bench for them to sit on.
Leverage your windowsill to grow plants on a window shelf
If your windowsill is a bit narrower than it should be for it to be a sitting space, you can instead use it as a window plant shelf and place your windowsill herb planters there. The below photo shows an example window plant shelf, which is very easy to do. You just need to place your indoor plants there so they can absorb enough sunlight and grow more bountifully. If you’re not sure which herb garden kits or plants you can place on a windowsill, you can check out our indoor garden kits. This is the best idea for you if you love plants and need extra storage for them.
