People often make the mistake of decorating their windowsill with too many things. Decorate only with selected details and create beautiful focal points by leaving gaps between each grouping to allow the eye to move around. This will also allow more light into the room and prevent your windowsill from looking crowded.
Choose to group candle holders, lanterns or plants in vases of different sizes to create a beautiful ensemble.
Group items together for a stylish focal point on your windowsill.
Decorating at different levels is essential for creating balance in the window. For a harmonious and interesting impression group items in different heights together.
Do you have a large window? The basic rule when decorating a wide windowsill with a tall window is to utilise the height by decorating with a tall table lamp, plant or tall candlesticks!
If you have smaller windowsill keep the items small and few so the window remains uncluttered and can still let in the light.
Here, influencer Hannes Mauritzson has decorated the windowsill with a focal point of candle lanterns and utilised the height by placing an elegant table lamp from ferm LIVING on a pile of magazines.
Grouping items in odd numbers have been found to be more visually appealing and creates more energy in the home. Consider arranging your details in groups of 3 or 5, which creates a much more pleasing impression to the eye. You could even consider creating height by placing one of the items on a pile of books or a box.
Decorating your windowsill with an uneven number of objects creates a more balanced and stylish look. Also think about creating differences in the level of your window for a more dynamic impression.
Another tip when decorating your windowsill is to create contrasts! Work with round shapes and straight lines, tall and short and soft and hard to create a sense of balance in your display. The windowsill can also be great place to introduce a pop of colour in your home, you could even introduce a vibrant po of your favourite shade and contrast it with something more toned down and neutral. Would you like to decorate the windowsill according to the season? Simply change the window decorations depending on the holiday or season. But remember to renew your items without upsetting the balance!
For a truly Scandinavian approach to decorating your windowsill, place a table lamp or a small hanging lamp in the window. If you walk around any Swedish neighbourhood in the evening, you can be certain to see the windows lit up with elegant table lamps or an eye-catching pendant light. Illuminate your home and bring your window to life at the same time. A portable lamp is the perfect tip for those who are short on plug sockets!
Do you have a narrow window sill? Choose a hanging lamp or a smaller table lamp to decorate your windowsill.
Do you have a wider windowsill? Choose a free standing lamp in a larger size to make use of the space you have.
Want to make your windowsill more inviting? Then a beautiful bouquet of flowers or green plants are perfect for decorating your windowsill. The windowsill will become livelier and inviting and will be a beautiful eye-catcher in your home. Lower and smaller pots and vases are better suited for narrower windowsills to create a nice balance in the window. Cut flowers are perfect in this case as they give you great freedom to choose the height and number of flowers that suit your windowsill.

Do you have a narrow or a deep windowsill, maybe a tall window or perhaps yours is low window? Here are tips for decorating different types of windows:
Narrow windowsills: Decorate with smaller and lower objects on a narrow windowsill. Avoid cluttering the window with too many things to create a cleaner impression. Create focal points and group your details on the windowsill instead of lining everything up in a straight line. Also, work with different heights and sizes of the items you group together for a balanced and stylish look.
Wide and deep windowsills: Decorate with larger and taller pieces such as a larger lamp, vase or pot to capitalise on the depth of the windowsill. Place things in front of and behind each other and use curtains to make it more cosy and inviting.
Tall windows: Think about working with height by placing tall items in the window, such as tall candlesticks, a large pot, vase or lamp.
