Do you have a bare windowsill in your home that’s just begging for some decoration? Here are a few great ways to spruce up that unused space, no matter how large or how small it may be.

1. Make a garden. Gather some plants in attractive pots and arrange them all over your windowsill. Choose plants that do well in bright light, as the windowsill will likely fill with sunlight during the day.
2. Create a reading nook. If your windowsill is large enough, create your own reading nook using some comfortable throw pillows and a stack of books. Add attractive bookends to make your own miniature library.
3. Fill it with candles. Add candles in varying heights to create a romantic effect that even looks beautiful from the outside of the house.
4. Use it as extra storage. On a wide window ledge, add small storage boxes and use them to hold those extra odds and ends.
5. Add picture frames. Frame some family photos in frames that stand up on their own and line them up across the window’s width.
6. Start a crystal collection. Many people think that crystals add good energy to a room, and your windowsill is a great place to display your budding collection.
