Kitchen Windows With Shelves — How Designers Use This Trick for Extra Storage and Style

A white kitchen with shelves across the window.

Designing a kitchen is a puzzle — and piecing it together is a case of weighing up practicality, such as storage, against good looks. Sometimes, one has to trump the other in the decisions you make, but sometimes, a really clever idea can deliver on both. And we think kitchen windows with shelves might be a design solution you're overlooking.

In some respects, this idea goes against what you might think are the basics of designing your room, in that you want to keep your view out the window clear and allow as much light in as possible. But while it's not a kitchen window idea that works for every single space, sometimes, on balance, it's the best move for adding storage and creating a style statement.
