Utilize the space near your kitchen window by installing a built-in herb garden shelf. This idea combines functionality and aesthetics, allowing you to grow herbs while adding a charming display to your kitchen. Install a shelf below the window and place small pots or containers filled with herbs on it. The natural sunlight from the window will provide the necessary light for the herbs to grow. This setup not only saves counter space but also adds a touch of greenery to your kitchen, creating a refreshing and inviting atmosphere.
