What to do on a gloomy autumn evening? Change the mood of the room by turning the windowsill into a full-fledged bookshelf, bar counter or reading corner
If you, like us, don't like cloudy weatherweather and trying to let in as much sunlight as possible, you probably haven't closed your curtains in weeks. And it's quite possible that this fact only depresses you more. Do you know why?
Your windowsill is as boring as the weather.outside the window. Judge for yourself: the curtains are drawn back, there is a withered geranium on the windowsill, and outside the window autumn is tearing leaves from the trees and throwing them at your window. What is there to be happy about?
But there is something to be happy about. Autumn is a great time for hobbies and all sorts of creative activities. You can't get enough of walking outside, you're sick of TV series - let's get creative!
Now we invite you to think about howyou can create a cozy barrier between the autumn outside the window and the unheated room inside. If you are incredibly lucky to live in an old house with wide windowsills, and there is nothing to think about - build a reading corner: pillows, a blanket, books and a tiny table for a cup of tea.
You can't sit on the windowsill, but it's oh so hard to readWant daylight? Build a bookshelf right on the windowsill, pick a couple of large, eye-catching (or rather, distracting from the grayness outside) accessories, hang a garland on the window as lighting for the evening and get comfortable by the window.
Do you prefer to read in bed?Then consider growing succulents, violets, or orchids. Don't like gardening? Make a miniature of your own neighborhood out of cardboard and tealights. It's an evening activity, but this "lantern" will provide warmth all fall and winter until the sun returns.
