Table built into the window sill
This is the version with legs. They can be single or converted into a storage system. The first option is more suitable for the dining area, and the second for the working area.

An interesting idea is to fit a large storage system with shelving into the table. Look at the photo below: it seems that the window sill simply hangs over the floor, but in fact it has supports on the sides.

When is a countertop from a window sill relevant?
The decision to make the tabletop combined with the window sill is suitable in the following cases:
- When the window opening is large in depth - at least 40 cm. This option is the simplest and cheapest, since the protruding part of the board is not necessarily equipped with a support, and with an increase in width to 60 cm or more, it can extend onto the surface of a curb stone or table .
- There is not enough natural light entering the room or kitchen, so a tabletop is specially created near the window, smoothly turning into a window sill.
- When it is necessary to combine several pieces of furniture to maintain the style of the interior. This option is suitable if the kitchen furniture, children's set or bedroom is located along a larger wall with a window, and the breakdown of the elements of the set will not disrupt the only design line.
The tabletop in combination with the window sill increases the work space
The undeniable advantage of this option is that harmony is maintained between the existing furniture and additional elements, especially the tabletop combined with the window sill. In addition to increasing the working surface and improving aesthetic characteristics, greater practicality and comfort are created.
Design advantages
The main advantage of a window sill countertop is the efficient use of window sill space. Additional meters of work space will never be superfluous. No more running around the kitchen looking for free space for a hot cutting board or lid. The space will be used one hundred percent, which is very important for a small kitchen.
Placing a workplace instead of a window sill can significantly save energy. Due to the abundance of natural sunlight, artificial lighting during the day becomes completely irrelevant even on a cloudy day.
Another advantage of installing a countertop instead of a window sill is the ability to integrate a sink. This arrangement of the sink is the dream of many housewives. It allows you to create a truly convenient and ergonomic kitchen triangle, allowing you to free up work space on the countertop located along the wall. In addition, many people simply like to admire the beautiful view from the window while they wash the dishes.
Among the positive aspects of this solution, we can also highlight the possibility of creating additional storage spaces. The tabletop can be combined with cabinets and equipped with the same facades as other elements of the set.
And although the proximity to the radiator does not allow placing vegetables here during the heating season, you can store cereals, dishes, kitchen utensils and consumables in the cabinets: foil, parchment paper, freezer bags and ovens.
Flaws
The weak points of the design include difficulties encountered during its installation. Judging by the reviews, the window sill often does not match the height of the set and it becomes very difficult to combine the space. To keep the window sill flush with the rest of the work surface, it is sometimes necessary to raise the bottom edge of the window.
The solution may be to install double-glazed windows with a blank strip at the bottom or arrange countertops at different levels. In the latter case, the installation of standard height devices in this row is excluded.
Another drawback is that the countertop prevents the passage of air flow from the radiator to the glazing. As a result, the windows begin to sweat and ice forms. This problem is solved by making several slits or holes on the work surface. The slots are closed with neat ventilation grilles and this does not affect the appearance of the working surface.
How to set up a desk for multiple users?
When setting up tables for multiple users, it is worth considering not only their location relative to the light and door, but also from the point of view of interpersonal relationships. It is an unfavorable situation when people are forced to sit back to back. On the other hand, if they are sitting face to face, the distance should be at least 120 cm.
Placing a desk directly next to a window has its advantages. You can relax by taking a break from work to watch the street. If there is a lot of greenery in the yard, then the landscape looks simply irresistible.
Types of built-in tables
There are several varieties.
Writing
A window sill that transforms into a desk is a very practical and necessary solution that allows you to create a comfortable working environment and make the interior space thoughtful.
Toilet
An excellent option for a small room, when arranging which you need to solve several problems at once. This boudoir design not only saves usable space and allows access to natural light, but also creates a pretty cool design.
Computer
This design is also more suitable for small spaces. Thanks to a small modernization that does not require large financial costs, you can create a very convenient and functional design.
Workplace in the living room
A work place is placed in the living room only if the apartment does not have a separate office. A window sill in a room where the whole family and large groups gather to relax will inevitably become multifunctional.
Most of the time, the tabletop will be used as a work or hobby, but when guests arrive, it can easily be turned into a “pantry” part of the room, where snacks or cups of aromatic teas and sweets will be placed.
For those who intend to thoroughly arrange a full-fledged workspace, a more massive option is suitable, where the table is only part of a large set with shelves for books and drawers for documents and writing instruments. For a classic interior, symmetrical sets made from solid wood are selected. For high-tech, a combination of metal and glass is suitable, and in budget options, regular chipboard and MDF are used.
Transformer
When folded, it takes up minimal space, and when open it can be suitable for accommodating a large company. A transforming table with legs has expanded functionality and various device options.
Folding table
Proper organization of space is not an easy task even for those who have a large apartment, and if you live in a one- or two-room Khrushchev house or a modern studio, you cannot do without creating additional surfaces. One of the best solutions is to install a folding table in place or under the windowsill. This table can be chosen for the kitchen, living room, or even an office.
Dining table by the living room/kitchen window
A window sill for a dining table is an option that has become popular in recent years. For us, such a solution may seem unusual and inconvenient, because visitors sit in a row, like in a bar or espresso. This solution may indeed lack the intimacy of family meals at home, but it is ideal for bachelor pads and those couples who prefer to keep conversation and meals separate.
Such a small and compact dining room can be placed in the kitchen, living room, or even on a balcony or loggia, if properly insulated. The main advantage of a converted window sill in this case is saving space.
For the dining set, folding chairs are selected that resemble garden counterparts, which can be put under the table or hidden in a special niche if the dining area is not currently in use.
Bar table
It offers the opportunity to create a cozy place for a pleasant pastime. Bar counters of various configurations, located perpendicularly, in combination with high chairs, will not only create a relaxed atmosphere, but also give the room an elegant and beautiful look.
What is it and how does it work?
The peculiarity of this design is that it consists of a window sill that turns into a table.
In this case, the window sill, as such, is absent, connecting to the table and performing its functions. We can say that this is an “extended window sill”.
Wherever you install it, it will help save space, allow you to conveniently use daylight and make the interior more interesting.
Using a table built into the window sill, the window opening is often equipped with additional shelves and cabinets. Then this design, and the space near the window turns into a real workplace, illuminated by natural sunlight.
Modern window sills allow you to use them as a desk.
A small modernization that does not require serious time and financial costs will make it convenient and functional.
Design of rooms with a window sill turning into a table
Design options for table window sills in various rooms.
In the kitchen
A window sill that transforms into a table is the most practical design move for a small kitchen space, which should be used to maximum advantage.
This design allows you to create more work space in the kitchen, for example, you can place a sink on this surface.
How to replace a regular window sill in the kitchen with a countertop
A window sill for a suspended ceiling is installed in the kitchen after dismantling the old panel. This is one of the best solutions in a small kitchen, since the element does not take up free space, you can build a transformable structure when the countertop is folded when it is not needed.
A countertop instead of a window sill in the kitchen solves the problem of preserving the design of a kitchen unit, which, when switched off, loses its attractiveness. And since a small kitchen does not allow you to install it in another place, this is one of the best options. You need to choose the material and color for the kitchen interior and only then start working.
In a short time you can turn a window sill into a work surface or a dining table in the kitchen with your own hands.
Office and children's room
In the children's room and in the office, the design is carried out without mechanisms that allow the product to be transformed. The space under the table contains cabinets and shelves for storing necessary accessories. They can also serve as additional support for the tabletop.
Thanks to this technique, space will be freed up for outdoor games, and the large and wide surface of the table will allow you to sit comfortably with your child to master classes and monitor school assignments. There will be a sofa in the office for comfortable relaxation during breaks. The window sill of the suspended ceiling in the room does not require height adjustment, as in the kitchen space.
In the bedroom
You can also organize a mini-office in the bedroom or turn the window seat into a dressing table. The window sill should be extended along the entire wall - then it will be possible to place both indoor plants and beautiful decorations.
If you combine a room with a loggia, then you can arrange an almost isolated study in the bedroom. For zoning, use light partitions or shelving.
Among the materials, again, preference is given to wood: it is environmentally friendly and creates the atmosphere of comfort that a bedroom needs.
In the living room
In the living room, this design is especially highly versatile. The tabletop turns into a workspace, hobby space or even a dining area - especially convenient when guests come over.
Ideas for balconies and loggias
By replacing a narrow standard balcony window sill with a wider base, you get a comfortable resting place. For a small loggia, it is advisable to choose models of folding tables.
How to properly organize your workspace along the window?
The primary task of parents is to create comfortable conditions for learning. The child will spend most of his time in the work area, so it should be organized as conveniently and functionally as possible.
When designing a desktop for a children's room, you need to consider:
- open access to heating batteries;
- serviceability of window fittings;
- the presence of shelves and hooks under the tabletop.
Access to heating is important for 2 reasons:
- Warm air should be evenly distributed throughout the room, so the radiators should not be cluttered.
- With open radiators, you can easily regulate the intensity of heat supply to the room.
You can hide heating devices using decorative grilles, provided that they can be removed at any time to access the radiators.
Hooks are needed so that school bags can be put away.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account the size of the room itself. For example, for small areas, a full-fledged desk with drawers and cabinets will be inappropriate, because... it will visually load the space under the window. In this case, it is better to choose furniture with thin metal legs; this will make cleaning easier and allow you to sit comfortably on a chair with wheels.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages include:
- good lighting;
- space saving;
- comfortable location.
Since the work area near the window in the nursery will almost always be well lit, artificial light will only be needed in the evening. This is a big plus for children: natural light does not damage their vision.
The use of every meter is necessary for small apartments, and using the space at the window sill as a training area will “give” additional usable space. Along the side walls you can install shelves for books and school supplies, wardrobes for clothes and hanging shelves for toys and personal belongings of the child.
As for comfort, in the cold season the radiators will warm the feet, and the space under the desk near the window will be free, and nothing will prevent the student from positioning himself in a way that is comfortable for him.
However, along with the advantages, installing a table opposite the window also has its disadvantages:
- excess natural light in sunny weather;
- impossibility of installing flowerpots and other interior items on the windowsill;
- disruption of air circulation in the room.
Vases with flowers as interior decoration can be placed on hanging shelves or on racks along the walls.
As for air circulation, the difficulty here is that in the cold season it is impossible to open the windows for ventilation while the child is in the room. Therefore, in order to avoid colds, the room will have to be ventilated when the little owners are away.
Examples of placing compositions in an apartment
There are several basic examples when a window sill, acting as a table, is designed to solve the situation and beautifully play up the free space.
Kitchen in a private house with a non-standard protruding window frame, allowing you to increase the working surface area of the window sill countertop
- When the window is located near the corner of the room, a smooth transition of the table to the wall will be the right solution, and with the right choice of material for the manufacture of the product and its configuration, you can turn a modest small room into a cozy nest.
- If the window frame is located in the center of the room, then the owners can afford to purchase a window sill with great depth. Stands are usually placed on the sides of the product. It turns out that the window, so to speak, is integrated into the work area, and the window sill takes on the shape and form of a full-fledged table.
This option is perfect for a child’s room, when the tabletop will be used for the child’s office.
Using a window sill tabletop you can save free space in the nursery, which is very important for the baby
- Another proven progressive solution is the use of suspended ceilings on the balcony. Here, too, there are several options: you can replace the narrow space with a new tabletop, or you can create a dining area and turn the balcony space into a kind of gazebo. If the room does not have a large space, then a folding table design can be used as an option.
In addition, decorating a terrace in a private house with the help of a window sill looks no less impressive
- The window sill is widely used as a table in the kitchen, not only in small rooms, but also in spacious ones. This design can be attributed to the dining area or made as an element of a kitchen set.
Spacious kitchen with a large panoramic window covering almost the entire wall. A window sill under a suspended ceiling looks very organic in this space design option. A suspended ceiling window sill in a room, the options of which, photos of which are presented in abundance, are the best option for the owner of a modern apartment.
Ways to place a countertop in the kitchen near the window
Each owner chooses for himself the option of installing a countertop-window sill. There are several alternatives that are equally suitable for small and large spaces.
Tabletop-window sill, transitioning from the surface of the kitchen furniture. Corner tabletop in a small kitchen with transition to the furniture.
Transitional
Perfect for expanding your work space. For this purpose, one tabletop is selected for the floor set and for the window sill. Usually a seamless coating model is made to order.
Tabletop window sill in a corner format with a niche for a radiator
Corner
To make the area under the window look complete and harmonious, it is recommended to install the tabletop in the form of a corner structure. But for this purpose a solid surface may also be required.
Tabletop with household appliances under the window, where there is no heating radiator Window sill-tabletop for the kitchen without connection to the furniture
Independent
This option is best suited for spacious kitchens. But in order to emphasize the compliance of the window sill with the overall design of the room, you can choose a material that is close in color to the chairs or the facade of the kitchen furniture.
U-shaped table top with window sill grip
U-shaped
It is also called built-in. Suitable for a small kitchen area. Under the countertop, you can organize cabinets around the entire perimeter or create a large-format dining area. You can also use hanging furniture to store dishes.
Smooth countertop in the kitchen from the window sill Tabletop-window sill for a large panoramic window
Semicircular or figured
More suitable for modern small kitchen designs. To do this, use a solid countertop of irregular shape. Most of it protrudes above the floor. Additionally reinforced with a stand or leg. A kind of bar counter is formed.
Table-window sill for the kitchen with a perforated surface
Tabletop materials
To create a window sill you will need materials that are usually used for these items separately. When choosing, you should take into account the location of the future object, so as not to confuse it with execution. Countertops are made from the following materials.
A natural stone
Moreover, pleasure does not come cheap. High performance, excellent appearance, but at the same time heavy weight, requiring additional supports. The care of this surface includes treatment with polymer materials.
Fake diamond
This is an alternative to natural. Resistant to mechanical damage, moisture and cleaning agents. Imitations of many natural materials are sold. Another advantage is much lower weight and cost.
Tree
This can be a series of oak, pine, beech, ash, etc. The decorative qualities of this type of material are quite high, as is the price. In addition, it is susceptible to moisture and requires special care. By the way, restoring a damaged surface is not so difficult.
Chipboard and MDF
Their main advantage is their affordable price. The top layer can copy wood, stone, tile. The surface is matte, semi-matte, glossy. To protect against moisture, parts that have not been laminated are sealed with sealant. It is not recommended to use these materials in rooms with high humidity.
PVC
The panel is made of rigid or foam plastic and is moisture resistant. The surface is covered with a film that creates an imitation of stone or wood. Lightweight, but at the same time high rigidity of the structure, ease of processing. Another advantage is low cost. PVC is more suitable for a loggia.
Alternative materials have not yet spread: glass and metal. Difficulty in handling and docking stops a potential user.
Useless corner
Sometimes there is such a place in the house as a small useless corner with a window where you can’t put anything. To use this place, you can extend the surface of the window sill with a table made exactly to the dimensions of the corner. Such a corner table will serve both as a stand for design elements and as a small work area.

Shape and size
There is no optimal tabletop size. The window sill must be individually adapted to the parameters of the human body that will regularly use it. While working, he must adopt correct posture and vision. The easiest way to determine the correct dimensions is to sit on the windowsill and observe the work process (typing, writing, hobbies).
In this case, you need to take the correct position: your elbows protrude slightly beyond the boundaries of the imaginary tabletop, your legs move freely under it and do not rest against the radiator. Once you've found the sweet spot, you can take measurements with a tape measure, write them down in a notebook, and use them when preparing your material. As for the form, only the skills of the carpenter and the creativity of the designer play a role here.
For those who don't have much experience with furniture, it's best to stick to a simple rectangular shape. More complex options are suitable for “professionals”: concave in the workplace area, with wavy or angular edges. True masters of their craft can decorate even the edges of solid wood tabletops with intricate carvings. It is not necessary to choose the height of the tabletop (it can be made slightly higher than the window sill, but not lower). The distance from the floor to the tabletop is easily adjusted using a high/low chair and a special footrest.
Small room
A table is an interior item that is in every room. But sometimes there is sorely not enough space for it. In this case, you can combine the table and window sill and organize a bright work surface. Light shades in the room will make the room seem more spacious.

Color solutions
Since the window sill table is part of the interior composition of the room to which it belongs, the color combination should also be chosen comprehensively, placing emphasis on other large furniture. There are several principles for choosing colors:
- In neutral-colored interiors, the countertop can become a bright accent.
- If eye-catching details in the surroundings are unnecessary, the optimal solution would be to choose the color of the table by analogy with some other large piece of furniture: a kitchen set, a wardrobe, a bed, a corner sofa or a storage system.
- You can also choose a color to match your wall decoration for wallpaper, ceramic tiles, plaster, paint or decorative panels.
- Under textile furniture - curtains, tulle, blinds, carpet.
However, the safest option is to choose a tone-on-tone countertop color with the window frame.
How to do the installation yourself
In order to successfully cope with the task and make a suitable type of tabletop with your own hands, you should first stock up on the necessary tools, as well as buy suitable materials. But first, it would be advisable that you make a drawing of the future window sill, which will go into the tabletop, and take measurements of all the details. It is very important that the calculations are made correctly, since the future table must necessarily correspond to the area of the room and perform its functions.
If you decide to make a window sill table with your own hands, then keep in mind that there are several installation methods:
- Adjacent to a board that is already installed.
- Creating a solid slab that will be cut to the required dimensions.
In the first option, a tight fit of both panels should be ensured, and if stone is chosen as the main material, then the edges of the joint should be lubricated using a sealer with a hardener in a ratio of 1 to 2, and then the two parts should be quickly moved and the joints polished. The table stands will serve as supports. A panel made from other materials will look much more aesthetically pleasing in the form of a single sheet that needs to be cut to size and it will look monolithic. There is a heating radiator under almost all windows, and if it is not possible to move it to another place, then when installing a window sill-tabletop, this point must be taken into account and special holes must be created.
Window sill table in various interior styles
The choice of shape, color and material of the countertop will depend on the stylistic direction. Thanks to the huge variety of models, the window sill can easily adapt to a variety of trends, for example, loft, Provence, minimalism, hi-tech, classic, modernism and many others.
Requirements for choosing a workplace
A workplace along the window should not take up the maximum space in the room, so you should carefully consider all the details when organizing it. The desk should be practical and not take up much space, but it should also accommodate everything you need to do your homework.
Material and condition
The table should be made of environmentally friendly materials - MDF, natural wood. Chipboard countertops are undesirable because... they emit large amounts of formaldehyde, and glass surfaces, although they look beautiful and do not weigh down the space, are not suitable for children's rooms, since they are a traumatic piece of furniture.
Dimensions
The dimensions of the table should be calculated based on the height of the child. There is a rule: for heights up to 120 cm, the height of the table should be 52 cm, and for every 10 cm increase in height, 5 cm should be added to the height of the table.
For example, if a student is 144 cm tall, the table height should be 62-64 cm.
As for the depth of the tabletop, it should be at least 60 cm. If you plan to install a computer, you should add at least 10 cm to the depth of the table. However, you need to remember that it is also not recommended to install a tabletop that is too wide, otherwise access to the window will become inconvenient.
The chair must be selected at such a height that the child’s feet are on the floor with the knees bent at right angles (improper placement is harmful to posture).
For preschoolers, a good solution would be to purchase a chair that is adjustable in height.
Form
The lines of the table can be straight or smoothly curved - it all depends on the desires of the little owners.
A good solution is a corner tabletop with a curved edge near the window, where it is convenient to sit and move around on a chair on wheels.
If space does not allow, then you can use a simple desk set up near the window in the nursery.
Color
The choice of colors will depend on the preferences and gender of the children. For example, most girls prefer calm pastel colors, beige, olive, pistachio, pink, cheerful yellow and orange. Boys choose dark or rich, bright “rebellious” shades: blue, black, rich yellow and blue, purple, green.
How to make the right choice?
With a huge abundance of designs, it is also important to consider that the effectiveness of their use depends on the quality of the material from which the product is made.
- For the kitchen, the best option would be a moisture-resistant material, for example, for making a window sill countertop, MDF or other materials equipped with a moisture-resistant coating are relevant.
- Products made from modern polymers, which imitate the surface of natural stone - marble, malachite, look impressive and original.
- An expensive and noble option is to install countertops made of marble or granite. This combination will add a luxurious feel to any space.
- If you plan to implement this idea in houses outside the city, the best option would be to make an interesting ceiling made of natural wood.
A very cozy option for decorating a workspace based on a window sill in the hallway of a private house outside the city.
Since this idea is relatively new, it is problematic to purchase ready-made structures with the necessary parameters, shapes and materials. But this is not a problem, because a custom-made window sill in the room is the ideal solution.
Advantages and disadvantages
To finally decide whether to make a table or leave the window sill in its original form, we will consider all the advantages and disadvantages of this design.

Organize your windowsill desk while finding inspiration in the beauty of nature before your eyes.
Manufacturing: advice from professionals
Not all people can afford to buy a ready-made countertop, even one made of artificial stone. If you want to save money, try becoming a designer and enjoy the result, you can create your own countertop in the kitchen.
To bring your idea to life, you will need some woodworking experience and special tools. At the end of the workflow you will get amazing results.
Preparatory procedures
- Determine the optimal size of the tabletop: usually the width is 40-80 cm, it all depends on functionality, configuration and design.
- If you plan to install the countertop as a kitchen table, the depth should be 50-80 cm.
- Thanks to the correct depth of the countertop window sill, you can complement the work surface with additional elements of the kitchen set
- If you are installing a wardrobe, it is enough to choose a product with a width of 35-40 cm.
- The height parameter is correspondingly equal to the height of the window sills that are installed in your home.
- If executed correctly, the window sill plan will look quite laconic in the overall interior
- Before you begin making the product, it is important to take correct measurements. The first condition is that there is no interference from the product when trying to close the window.
Artificial window sills for tabletops are supported in the form of bedside tables in one position, and in the other they are fixed under the window like a regular window sill.
Work order
Making folding elements with your own hands is quite simple, and the dimensions and parameters can be changed in several directions. The main steps are followed in order; If you follow the advice of professionals, you will get amazing results.
To make a product with your own hands, you need to start by cutting out the base. This is done using a special jigsaw made from the material you chose as the basis. For example, this can be compensated for by increased moisture resistance. The thickness of the material is on average 12 mm.
The base is installed from the pedestal and fixed to them using special nails. If you wish, you can organize your own production of cabinets and other products. You can buy ready-made modules in special furniture stores.
The base is attached to the window sill using Z-shaped brackets.
At this stage, the base is coated with any material, depending on personal preferences. Usually chipboard, MDF, ceramic tiles or decorative mosaics are used. Recently, pebbles have proven themselves well.
If for high-quality tiling work you use tiles of the same color and texture as in the production of the apron, you will receive a high-quality finished interior.
Types of designs
A modern window sill-tabletop in a children's room or teenager's room can have different dimensions and design. In general, types of structures can be divided into three categories: from a window, from a cabinet or from a wall. This means that the window-sill table can be placed either against the wall or against the window. There are also mixed options.
The design of the tabletop near the window depends on the overall interior of the room and personal preferences.
From the window
In fact, this is a table in the form of a window sill, in the literal sense of this expression. In this case, the window sill itself is dismantled, and in its place a wider and deeper one is installed, made of a more durable material (plastic is used quite rarely and is not the best option for a desk).
The photo shows an example of integrating a window sill into a fairly wide desk
Look at the options for a window-sill table in a modern children's room in numerous photos: you will see that this is always an excellent solution. It can be small and light, or more massive, with drawers. It is appropriate to build in additional shelves in the window slopes to make maximum use of the space.
If desired, the window sill can be expanded to cover the entire wall and cabinets can be added under it, resulting in a full-fledged desk.
Don’t forget about lighting, because in the dark the window will be closed with a curtain, and the child will be busy with homework or creativity. It is better to use a table lamp or mount the lighting fixture on the wall or slope to the left.
With wardrobe
For a small room it is appropriate to mix and match furniture. A cabinet is a great item to incorporate a child’s desk into.
A desk-window sill, equipped with bedside tables or shelves, will become a convenient place for studying
What does it look like? This is a large, full-fledged closet with various compartments: a large closed one for clothes, open shelves for books and toys. And as one of the compartments there will be a workspace: a built-in small table with empty space below (for comfortable sitting). It's very comfortable and looks original!
Symmetrical arrangement of cabinets in a children's room with a desk instead of a window sill
This cabinet-table can be made to order. This is an excellent option, since you can choose the height of the table to suit the height and individual characteristics of the child, as well as take into account the dimensions of the room and the specific place where the structure will stand. Such a cabinet can also be a corner one.
And others
A built-in desk can extend from the wall or have a mixed design: extend from the window and continue in breadth, occupying part of the wall. If two children live in a room, this is an excellent option: this way you can make a large table without taking up much space and saving it significantly.
A table-window sill in a room for two children is the optimal solution for organizing space
By the way, such a table can be retractable or folding. This is not difficult to implement from a technical point of view, and the space savings are simply colossal! In addition, this way the child will be taught to always clear the table after working on it, and this is a useful skill for the future.
Desk for two children
Choosing a desk design for two children is not difficult; the main thing is to take into account the size of the nursery.
Options for two children include:
- Corner location along the window and one wall. In this case, the children sit sideways to each other.
- A table in the shape of the letter P. If space allows, you can place two schoolchildren with their backs to each other, the tables will be on different walls, and the common place will be a tabletop along the window.
- 2 tables with a passage between them, children sit with their backs to the entrance.
Each option has its own advantage - children will not be distracted by each other while doing homework, and at the same time will be able to communicate by passing each other the required items (books, stationery).
