ᐅ Interior Window Sills – Wood, Natural Stone, or Which Material?

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

And then I guess you'll go for the larger tile.

I doubt that: large-format tiles have been around for quite some time, and a shift will definitely happen in the next 5 to 10 years. Apart from mosaics always being an option, I’ve been seeing more and more of these brick-shaped tiles on interior walls again. I can easily imagine that it might be time for 10 x 20 cm (4 x 8 inches) or 15 x 15 cm (6 x 6 inches) tiles on the floor once more.

We have uPVC-aluminum windows, meaning aluminum on the outside in a gray shade with a slight copper tint, and white windows on the inside with a beige, mottled sandstone window sill. The colors match well, and we like it. We had seen this combination in person at a modern building in Stuttgart before.

I don’t have any pictures of the property in Stuttgart. For our house (not yet occupied), I can only provide a photo taken with a flashlight due to the early darkness…..
