There are a lot of questions that undoubtedly arise when designing the heart of the home, and whether or not you should put a window over the sink is one of the most common. As someone who has spent many an hour standing at my kitchen sink looking wistfully out the window — or okay, yes, nosily at neighbors — I can see plenty of benefits to doing it this way.
But aside from providing a nice vantage point to watch the world go by, there are also practical reasons for putting your kitchen window over the sink. ‘It brings natural light, making the space brighter and more inviting,’ explains Casey Ridley, founder and president of The Designery, a specialist in kitchen design and renovations. ‘A window also improves ventilation, helping to get rid of cooking odors and excess moisture.’
