This post shows you the best ideas for kitchen window sills!
Do you have a window above your kitchen sink and have no clue what to put there?
Lucky for you, I have found 15 of the cutest ideas to decorate your kitchen window sill.
Decorating a windowsill can be a challenge, as they can be pretty awkward in size.
The kitchen windowsill is often under-utilized or left with clutter despite being the heart of the home.
Including the right pieces can change the entire vibe of your kitchen and make it look more put together.
Now, let's get into these ideas for kitchen window sills!
1. Include a touch of greenery
A kitchen window sill can be the perfect focal point in your kitchen.
If you want to keep things simple, create a cute display with a collection of small pots with greenery or fresh herbs.
There are countless ways to style your greenery.
2. White and gold decor
If you have a white window frame, you should consider pairing it with gold accents.
I love the muted gold candle holder; it looks so classy and isn't overpowering.
These ceramic vases with dried flowers are a fantastic idea.
3. A funky window frame
The window frame is the skeleton of your kitchen window and deserves attention.
Painting the front of the window in a standout color or installing custom grilles can add character and depth to your space.
4. Mason jars
A kitchen window sill can double as a clever storage space.
Use it to line up small plants, cookbooks, or even your favorite spices in mason jars.
This frees up the work surface and adds personality to your kitchen.
5. Herb garden
This idea is the perfect addition for the chefs in the house!
Keep your herbs on the windowsill so that they are within easy reach and you are ready to cook whenever necessary.
Add in plants like mint, basil, or rosemary, and even add in some spices of whatever you use the most.
6. Boho aesthetic
If you're anything like me and love the Boho aesthetic, why not bring it into your kitchen?
To recreate this stunning look, all you need are some woven baskets, ceramics, and pampas grass.
The window sill shelves are the perfect spot to bring the Boho vibe into your kitchen.
7. Wooden board and herb tray
Do you have spare wooden boards but are not sure where to put them?
In that case, a popular option is to place all of your herbs and spices on your tray, which can be a great addition to your kitchen.
This doesn’t take up too much space and is easy to move around.
8. Keep it simple
If you love the classic kitchen look, all you need are some cute cottage kitchen features.
Even a small kitchen window sill can be transformed into a beautiful addition to your kitchen.
Use small pots with light-loving plants or single decorative pieces that don't overwhelm the space.
9. Books
If you have space, create a little book nook for your wonderful cookbooks and succulents on your kitchen windowsill.
This is not only aesthetic but also serves a practical purpose, as you can easily access your favorite recipes.
10. Flowers
Flowers are a beautiful addition and breathe life into your kitchen.
All you need is a quick trip to Costco, and you can add a dozen pink tulips to the window sill.
You can even get flowers delivered on Ubereats now!
If you don't have much space, you can add smaller flowers, like baby’s breath, as they don't take up a lot of space.
11. Farmhouse aesthetic
The farmhouse aesthetic is so popular right now, and for good reason.
To achieve this timeless look, all you need to do is keep a neutral color palette with white cabinets, subway tiles, and a sink.
Then, incorporate elements with rustic charm, such as ceramics, reclaimed wooden chopping boards, kitchen utensils, and other finer details.
12. Take advantage of natural light
Maximizing natural light is a great way to enhance the ambiance of your kitchen.
For kitchen window sills, this means keeping obstructions to a minimum.
Installing sheer curtains ensures privacy while allowing sunlight to pour in, creating a bright and airy feel.
13. Turn your kitchen windowsill into an extra storage solution
Storage space is often at a premium in kitchens.
Use your window sill to have your cooking essentials on hand and in decorative containers, adding functionality without sacrificing style.
You can even hold dishwashing essentials in aesthetic containers.
14. Antique collection
If you want a vintage aesthetic, the window sill is ideal for displaying your favorite decor items.
Whether it’s a collection of vintage mason jars or ceramic pieces, these items can tell a story and add warmth to the kitchen.
Use them to store herbs and greenery.
15. Small space
In smaller kitchens, you may have a very narrow window ledge.
In this case, the area above the kitchen sink is a great space to include your cute little decorative items.
A farmhouse sink paired with a brass gooseneck faucet can be adorned with small pots of fresh herbs or neatly arranged mason jars, offering purpose and charm.
