The use of the windowsill as a countertop is one of the options for practical use of the existing space.
Windowman in the room in the room
There are many options for using the windowsill as a countertop. Consider several typical examples. When the window is located closer to the corner of the room, you can order a windowsill, smoothly moving to the wall and occupying the corner of the room along the concave trajectory of the arc. In this case, the window sill-dining room forms a kind of table, which can be used, for example, as a worker. And in the bedroom, such a window sill-strife is perfectly dealing with the role of a dressing table. In addition, with this arrangement of the window sill, a blind area of the angle is effectively involved, which allows you to visually unload and increase the total space of the room.

The next example is the window is located in the middle of the wall. In this case, the windowsill is ordered greater depth, and on the sides, as a rule, shelves-walls or small closed cabinets are placed. In this case, the window turns out to be built into the working area, and the windowsill is a full -fledged countertop. This is a very successful option for a small children’s room-the window sill-old man acts as a table for classes, and in lockers or racks you can decompose things, books or toys.

Another interesting option is the use of countertops for the windowsill on the balcony. Let us dwell on the two most typical options. In the first case, replacing the standard, usually narrow, balcony windowsill with a countertop, you can equip a convenient recreation area with a full table on the balcony. And if the balcony is small, then it is better to make the table folding and use it if necessary. Another option is to unite the room and balcony. In this case, the countertop, laid instead of window sills, also acts as a kind of table (option – bar).

Almost classic was the use of the windowsill as a countertop and in the kitchen, and, both in very small and quite spacious. Options are also possible here. The first of them, when a countertop is installed in the kitchen instead of the windowsill (as well as on the balcony, often folding) and thus get a dining table. And the next option is the countertop of the working area of the kitchen set, turning into the windowsill. In this case, the useful area of the working area is significantly increased.

Which window sill to choose?
With all the variety of options for designing a window sill, it should be noted that the effectiveness of the operation of this design largely depends on the material of its manufacture. For example, for the kitchen, as rooms with special conditions, you should choose a countertop made of moisture -resistant materials. What could it be? The most common option is MDF with a special moisture -resistant coating.
Count of modern polymeric materials with imitation of the surface of natural stone – marble, malachite are very spectacular. And, of course, the most expensive option is the manufacture of a natural stone-stones (marble). By the way, if there is a window in your bathroom, then using moisture -resistant materials, you can effectively beat it by making a comfortable countertop from the windowsill under the washbasin. In the living rooms, you can install a window sill-string from the same MDF. And the originality of the interior, especially in suburban houses, will successfully emphasize the old-button tabletop from natural wood.
