Interior window sills are one of the most under appreciated parts of any room. They already benefit from great lighting from the windows, and they draw the eye outward. They also provide a natural shelf space and typically come with some sort of ornamentation to frame the window. So how can you make the most of your interior window sills to create a bold visual impact in your Indianapolis home?
Celebrate Your Inner Book Worm
Your interior window sills are just the right size for displaying your favorite books and creating a cozy reading nook. Pick a handful of novels, put them up on your window sill, place a couple of candles or a reading light nearby, and add a cozy seat or bench right in front of the window. Now you can enjoy bright reading light all day and at night. Another great option is to install a bay window. You can add padding and some pillows and blankets to the ledge created by the window to create an even cozier reading nook.
Bring the Outdoors In
Adding a few plants to your window sill is a great way to reconnect with the natural world on the outside. Small herbs or succulents do great in tiny pots, and you can add an array of different colors and sizes to make things more interesting. Having plants indoors is proven to help keep your air cleaner and improve your mood as well.
Add Some Color
For the most part, your interior window sills are probably pretty plain on their own. However, you can add colorful candle holders, statuettes and vases to the blank canvas. If you plan it just right, the sunlight coming through the window will shine right through your vases and candle holders and fill your room with dazzling colorful reflections.
Picture Perfect
Naturally, interior window sills are also a great place to display framed photos. Choose a theme and carefully layer your photos by size to create a display that adds depth to your interior window sills. You can show off pictures of your family and friends, or you can choose some great artistic shots of the world and spend your time daydreaming through your window about all your future travels.
Your Indianapolis home is full of opportunities for you to accentuate your interior window sills with artwork, relaxing reading spaces and lively plants.
