Hello everyone, we are currently in the decision phase for which interior window sills to install.

We like wood the most, but we ruled it out due to cost.

We have a choice of various natural stones, mixed patterns, etc. Our windows are anthracite on the outside and white on the inside. The walls will all be white as well. On the outside, we will use slate window sills. Inside, we are simply unsure – if we choose white ones, will it be too much white?
Flooring: In the kitchen/living/dining area, we have oak planks, white oiled.
The hallways have medium gray 60 × 60cm (24 × 24 inches) tiles. The same tiles are in the bathrooms, and the bedrooms will most likely have laminate with an oak look. The photo shows our oak planks and the tiles.

What comes to your mind? What we don’t like are marble window sills with any kind of patterns. Right now, we are really stuck :-(

Thanks for any advice

Quartz is also available in solid colors without patterns. We have white interior surfaces without patterns.

Why has wood been excluded? It’s usually more affordable. In my current apartment, I got solid oak, about 20mm (0.8 inches) thick. Edges chamfered. Cut directly from the timber wholesaler.

You’re right, we’re reconsidering. Wood really is the most beautiful option.

Who installs that?

A tradesperson or you can do it yourself.

For example, a window installer or carpenter.
