windowsills
Indoor plant perches
Windowsills are the horizontal ledges at the bottom of windows, on either the interior or exterior side.
Inside, they serve as display surfaces for plants, photographs, or decorations: The cat stretched out on the sunny windowsill.
Outside, they shed rainwater away from the wall.
