The design of the windowsill may depend on the style of the interior of your kitchen:

• In the classic style kitchen   the window sill is an integral part of the window and is made of the same material as the window frame (whether it is natural wood or PVC). As a decor, you can install beautiful dishes on it, original vessels with spices, handmade, or flower pots with indoor plants. When beating plants, you only need to take into account the fact that crops that love moisture and heat take root.

The decor of the kitchen window should not only be decorative, but also be practical.

• In small apartments, where, as a rule, very compact kitchens, each square centimeter plays an important role. And in modern interiors, not only small but also spacious kitchens, very often the windowsill is a continuation of the working area. From the point of view of practicality, this is very convenient, since daylight is the brightest and most useful for vision, in addition, this contributes to energy savings.
• Country style kitchen windowsill   can be decorated with a winter mini-garden with hand-grown greens, vegetables or root crops. If the pallet is beautifully decorated, such a garden will be not only an important functional component of the kitchen, but also an aesthetically attractive element.

4. A winding indoor flower in a hanging pot mounted on the top of the slope will be a wonderful addition to any decor on the windowsill. An unpretentious chlorophytum is perfect for this, the favorable habitat of which is increased humidity, high air temperature and other factors unacceptable for a larger number of plants.

A favorable solution would be a choice of color in which small spots will be little noticeable. You should not choose a fabric in a small pattern: it gives a feeling of dirt. In the kitchen, curtains of light shades will be more harmonious, since dark curtains and fabrics of bright shades visually reduce the space.

Visually expand the excessively narrow kitchen will help a long curtain rod from wall to wall. In an apartment with a low ceiling, the cornice is placed as close to the ceiling as possible to visually make it higher.

Features of various types of kitchens with windows

The owners of large kitchens are lucky - you can decorate windows with almost any of the interior options, unlimited imagination. Small rooms have their own subtleties, limiting the choice to a certain framework. Whatever the shape and geometry of your home, there are nuances everywhere that are better to listen to.

Kitchen with two windows

When windows are located on perpendicular walls next to each other, in this area it is better to place a small cabinet with open niches. In a large room, a corner with two windows is used to place the dining area. Natural light will create a special, pleasant atmosphere.

Kitchen combined with a balcony

Allows you to visually expand the space, adding volume to it. A window sill with a window should be used as a zoning element. A mini bar can fit in well here, where you can cook, dine, sit with friends. Cafe-style curtains will be an excellent solution in this layout.

Bay window in the kitchen

The space near the wide windows that fill the room with light can be used to organize places of relaxation, for example, comfortable beds. You can choose a soft corner, combined in the form of bends. Nearby put a comfortable table, resulting in a full dining area.

Corner layout with window

It is compact and therefore well suited for small housing. In the corner, you can install a sink near the window, and the cabinet under the countertop to make a beveled shape to get more useful space. A storage cabinet is also equipped in a niche under the window.

Small room with a window

Here the aperture can be curtained with light curtains made of translucent fabric, or tulle can be purchased. Normal blinds will look good. In a small kitchen, the emphasis should be on saving space, so a countertop should be made from the windowsill, under which to establish storage space.

Narrow room shape

How to design a kitchen window with a sense, sense, arrangement

Not sure how to decorate a kitchen window? Want a lot of natural light, beautiful decor and a functional area nearby? In this article I will tell you how to use the window sill, get the maximum benefit from the location of the opening and suggest options for how to design a window in the kitchen.

We use the window sill with benefit

Designers have successfully expanded the functions of the windowsill.

• A kitchen with a countertop by the window turns into a fashionable dining room.

• A convenient option, if there is no dishwasher - move the sink to the windowsill. Washing dishes is more fun there: the panorama captivates, and the lighting is bright.

• It is better to put plastic dividers on a deep long windowsill - the effect of honeycombs. Here you can store a trifle in drawers. This optimizes the preparation of dishes.

• A cutting table is also appropriate, as a continuation of the windowsill. It is well lit, convenient for storing utensils, for tea drinking.

• If the countertop with the windowsill is flush, higher, below it - there are always advantages. The flush position increases the countertop, above it will provide it with an inconspicuous shelf, and below it will turn it into a stepped rack of the home bar.

The question necessarily arises: what to do with the battery. Her union with the window should also be harmonious:

• We cover it with a decorative screen, combined with the pattern of the curtains.
• We paint it to match the furniture. A combination of colors is also allowed: the battery looks painted extravagantly, painted like piano keys in black and white (to match the black headset, white walls and windows).
• You can mask the battery with plasterboard under the false wall, leaving the windows.
• If there is a sink under the window, then the battery will be hidden in a box. He will take the heat transfer, this will lower the temperature in the room.

We beat the location of the window

It is possible to diversify the window decor in a small kitchen, you can only consider the size and location of the daylight source. Ergonomics of options is also important here, when the entire space is rationally used.

Window as a kitchen center

If our task is to build an entire kitchen ensemble around the window, then the best option is a kitchen with a working area by the window. This idea is now popular both in small-sized apartments (ergonomically and as light as possible) and in large kitchens-dining rooms.

Which plastic window is better? A vertically sliding design is preferable in a kitchen with a sink or a cooking zone by the window, as it opens upward and the wings do not clap from the wind and do not interfere with work.

Just solve the problem of how to move the sink in the kitchen to the window. It will be done by a plumber or plumber in 2-3 hours. And inexpensive: the cost of work plus additional connections. By the way, such a sink under the window completes the ideal working triangle when everything you need is in the half-step.

Also, designers take advantage of the window when installing kitchen furniture. For example, place the kitchen at the window. Of course, its parts do not cover the window opening: high objects frame it, and low ones act as a continuation of the window sill. Then the window becomes the picturesque center of the headset.

But in standard apartments of the last century, the window opening does not integrate so well.

We simply decorate the window opening in a small room with curtains that match the color and style of the walls and furniture. At the same time, let the curtains on the small window be higher and wider to make it larger.

In the proposal, the kitchen along the window “works” even square meters above the window opening. Of course, traditionally they are empty, but not in small rooms. Here we build a shelf for jars. Hinged glass, framing the window, also fit in successfully.

Window openings 2 and more

Shelves, a shallow mezzanine and kitchen furniture, angled under the window structures, will occupy the remaining space. Then the kitchen with 2 windows will be filled with the necessary items, which are located at hand of the hostess.

If the design is combined with a balcony, then the corner arrangement of furniture is also welcome. And let the curtains on the window with the balcony do not interfere with the exit and opening of the door.

Design Ideas

By designing the window opening, we emphasize the general style of this room.

Light, even curtains to match the walls are appropriate in a small kitchen, and with folds - in a large one. Let the cotton and muslin curtains be closer to the window and further from the stove.

You can make such a design masterpiece yourself. For example, light plain curtains in the kitchen on the window can be embroidered with beads.

An interesting effect of decorating them with buttons. Just sheathe piping and sew buttons around the edge. Then we get the original model.

Consider the practical options:

1. Impregnated fabric blinds and mounted on the frame will fashionably decorate the kitchen. It is convenient to clean non-wide slats.
2. For minimalism and hi-tech, metal or plastic blinds are appropriate.
3. Oriental design involves bamboo products.
4. Roman curtains stylishly complement the kitchen interior and cover from the sun. They are going to folds.
5. Roller blinds are in harmony with curtains and are also attached to the frame, and rolled into a roll.

Any rainy day will be brightened by a false window on a blank wall with a view of the sea.

Hide the unsightly view from the window

If the panorama from the kitchen window is unenviable, for example, the blank wall of a neighboring building, we glue a sticky patterned film to the glass.

The choice of such a special film is great:

• faceted glass imitation;
• spraying;
• translucent pattern;
• shaded film;
• color panoramic imitation.

Decorative spros are easy to glue, so with our own hands we will give the window a luxurious respectability. In addition, they do not obscure the room, like a stained glass window.

Instead of curtains - stained-glass windows with a geometric pattern. They do not take up space. And the small kitchen will become bigger and more elegant.

Of the recommendations on the style, you can leave those that relate to gloss - for hi-tech, modern and modern kitchens, and matte surfaces for other, more relaxed and traditional styles. By the way, plastic window constructions from the inside can be stylized “wood-like”.

Wooden frames in the kitchen are always relevant due to their natural beauty and practicality.

Wooden frames are suitable for kitchens in individual estates: in summer garden houses, cottages, mansions and townhouses. Complex folding structures can be used here. The windows in the roof slope are also good for filling the kitchen space with natural light.

Useful spices in the decoration of the window opening

Living plants will liven up the most boring interior - such decor of windows in the kitchen   not only looks aesthetically pleasing, but also allows you to completely abandon fabric curtains.

For example, a white interior in the style of Provence. The window is in the center of the kitchen. Against the background of white furniture and walls, it looks like a bright spot, attracting the eye. This effect was achieved by the designer due to symmetry: on the windowsill - decorative plants in clay pots with a gray coating, a herbal composition of spices in a wicker basket.

Does a loft-style kitchen window seem incompatible with pretty plants? Not at all. Naturally, the riot of colors in a strict, restrained design is unacceptable, but a skillfully selected collection of green plants is in perfect harmony with the frame and gray brickwork.

For kitchens with small narrow windows, there is another interesting solution: instead of hiding the windows behind the curtains, it is enough to make a few horizontal suspensions. The frames connected in this way seem wider, and the decor will make you smile even on the most inclement day.

Panoramic windows: should they be decorated

Question, how to make panoramic windows in the kitchenactually does not have a definite answer. Wide windows from the floor to the whole wall in themselves are the decoration of any room. And in choosing a decor it is better to be guided by the rule: less is more than more is better. Proof: the interior with the placement of the working area along the panoramic window.

Conciseness and the sea of \u200b\u200blight: no decor

How to make a kitchen windowsill

The window sill is the easiest to decorate. In modern kitchens, it is used as an additional work surface. In urban styles (modern, high-tech), it is not customary to put anything on the windowsill. Well, or, on the edge of the windowsill - a stand with knives.

Eclecticism and minimalism are directions that, when applied skillfully, can produce wonderful results.

In the classics - vases or beautiful clay pots with flowers. Just for heaven’s sake, you don’t need to decorate the kitchen with artificial primroses and roses - you don’t want dusty, dirty flowers to vividly remind you of cemetery peace?

The non-classic kitchen window with shelves is decorated with unusual pots with cacti and ceramic figures.

In addition, it is customary to put attractive kitchen utensils or transparent fruit vases on the windowsill. If the kitchen is bright - on the windowsill should put cups and deep plates in tone or by the principle of contrast.

Curtains or blinds: choice of textiles and stylistic compatibility

Choosing textiles for window design in the kitchen , you must remember:

• The design of the fabric should be consistent with the overall style of the room.

• Color and texture must be repeated in at least one other element: upholstery or chair covers.

• A powerful hood is unlikely to protect the curtains from kitchen aromas: a complex cut and many folds will only complicate the care.

Beige color dominates the window decor and serves as a common color scheme for the interior of the spacious kitchen

Classic: choice for the dining area

The classic design of the kitchen window with heavy curtains made of thick fabric can be used only for large and tall rooms - kitchens, which are also dining rooms. Massive draperies, gold tassels, fringe and garters with gilded cords - only for the classic interiors of country houses.

Of great importance is the way to install the cornice and the choice of type of fixtures for curtains. Plain curtains made of dense fabric are in perfect harmony with light translucent tulle without ornament and fringing. A cornice hidden under a false ceiling will visually lengthen the wall.
