Making the Most of Window Sills: 3 Ways to Increase Apartment Space — Advice from a Designer

Apartment owners can rarely boast of a lot of space.

At the same time, there are clever and simple ways to expand the usable area without resorting to remodeling the apartment.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI on issues of interior design and interior design, will share useful advice with you.

How can you use a window sill?

Wide window sills in an apartment will help to significantly expand the usable area of the apartment.

For example, you can lay out pillows here, install lighting, and you will get an ideal reading corner. However, it is better to replace the heating radiators placed under this improvised corner with a low model.

And the window sill can easily be turned into a desk. This option is suitable for a home office or a small children's room, where the footage does not allow for a full-size desk for a child.

If there is no radiator under the window, then the window sill can be turned into a storage system. For example, this place is great for storing books, bulk products (if we are talking about the kitchen) and other necessary things.
