10 Best Window Sill Planters For Your Home

Window sill planters are an easy way to add a touch of green to your space and spruce up the windows of your home. Regardless of whether you live in a one-bedroom apartment or a multi-level house, anyone with a window can create a miniature green space without having access to an outdoor garden. While some window boxes attach to your exterior window sills and require installation, other rectangular plant containers simply sit on your interior window sill. 

Their slim shape makes them suitable for decorating tables, desks, shelves, and countertops too. Easily create an indoor herb garden on a kitchen window sill, add succulents to a sunny living room, or bring a touch of green to a bathroom window with a planter full of trailing ivy. 

To help you transform an unused sill into a lush windowsill garden that is filled with your favorite indoor plants, we've rounded up the best window sill planters below.
