A chest of drawers, full-height shelving walls and a countertop with a drawer tell you how to arrange a storage system next to the window if there is not enough space for things.

1 Working area with cabinets

A wall with a window is a real storehouse of ideas for small spaces where there are not so many furniture placement options. For example, around the windowsill, you can arrange a comfortable and spacious work area for a freelancer or a student, as in the photo below. Cabinets for books, toys or clothes will stand comfortably on the sides, and there will be a countertop for work or study under the window. Depending on the height of the window sill, you can simply expand it or make a separate desk along the wall. Also consider who will use such a work area: for example, a child will need a lower table.

2 Unified storage system with a window in the center

This window is surrounded by closed cabinets with drawers and shelves that form an impressive storage system. There is enough space inside for a variety of things, and all of them will be hidden from the eyes no visual mess! Please note that the upper sections are installed literally butt-to-butt with the ceiling, free space is used to the maximum. Thanks to the smooth laconic facades, the storage system does not look bulky, despite its volume. The window sill and the slopes in this case had to be expanded, but it did the window good: it turned out to be an excellent potential recreation area.

3 Table top-window sill with storage box

If you have a small kitchen, expand the set and include the space under the window there: for example, arrange an additional work surface. If there is no battery under the windowsill, then you can make a fairly roomy locker at the bottom. And in some houses, the layout provides a small “Khrushchev refrigerator” space under the window, equipped with shelves in the manner of a cellar with a cool temperature. In such a cabinet it will be possible to fit enough kitchen utensils or food supplies.

4 Open shelf right in the middle of the window

An unusual and bold solution of the shelf is located not above or under the window opening, but in the middle. Thanks to the open design without front and back walls, it does not block the access of light to the room and rather resembles a decorative frame. Inside, you can put beautiful dishes so that the rays of the sun play on its walls, a couple of small pots with flowers or a bright decor so that it looks as impressive as possible.
