The use of a window sill as a countertop is one of the practical uses of the available space.
Window-sill-table in the room
Options for using a window sill as a table top are many. Let's consider some typical examples. When the window is located closer to the corner of the room, you can order a window sill that smoothly passes to the wall and occupies the corner of the room along the concave arc path. In this case, the sill-counter creates a kind of table that can be used, for example, as a working table. And in the bedroom, such a sill-counter tops perfectly handle the role of a dressing table. In addition, with this arrangement of the window sill, the blind area of the corner is effectively used, which allows you to visually unload and increase the overall space of the room.

The next example is that the window is located in the middle of the wall. In this case, the sill is ordered to a greater depth, and on the sides, as a rule, shelf shelves or small closed cupboards are placed. In this case, the window is as if built into the working area, and the window sill is a complete table top. This is a very good option for a small children's room - the sill-counter serves as a table for classes, and in the lockers or on the shelves you can decompose things, books or toys.

Another interesting option is the use of a countertop for the window sill on the balcony. Let us dwell on the two most typical variants. In the first case, replacing the standard, as a rule, a narrow, balcony sill with a countertop, you can equip a comfortable rest area with a full table on the balcony. And if the balcony is small, then it is better to make the table itself flap and use it if necessary. Another option is to combine the room and the balcony. In this case, the table top, laid in place of the windowsills, also acts as a kind of table (option - bar counter).

Almost classical was the option of using a window sill as a countertop and in the kitchen, both on a very small one and on a fairly spacious one. There are also possible options. The first of them, when a countertop is installed in the kitchen instead of a window sill (like a balcony, often folding) and thus receive a dining table. And the next option - the top of the working area of the kitchen set, passing into the sill. In this case, the useful area of the working area is significantly increased.

What window sill-top to choose?
With all the variety of options for the design of the sill-countertop, it should be noted that the efficiency of the operation of such a structure depends largely on the material of its manufacture. For example, for the kitchen, as a room 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.
Very effective countertops of modern polymer materials with imitation of the surface of natural stone - marble, malachite. And, of course, the most expensive option - the production of table tops made of natural stone (marble). By the way, if in your bathroom there is a window, then, using moisture-resistant materials, you can effectively beat it, making a comfortable desk top under the sink from the sill. In living rooms, you can install a window-sill from the same MDF. And the originality of the interior, especially in suburban homes, will successfully emphasize the top-sill made of natural wood.
