A mounting element for mounting an architectural covering between two opposing mounting surfaces may include an elongate mounting member, and an extension mechanism operable between: i) a retracted state, and ii) an extended state in which the mounting element can be fastened to the architectural recess. The mounting element may also include an actuator rotatable about a rotation axis, and a conversion mechanism to convert a rotation of the actuator into a translatory movement of the rotation axis along the longitudinal direction and vice versa. The extension mechanism is arranged to abut one of the opposing mounting surfaces in the extended state when the mounting element is mounted between the opposing mounting surfaces.

A window planter includes a first compartment including a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first compartment is configured to house a first group of plants. A second compartment is slidably coupled to the first compartment. The first compartment includes a first outer sidewall. The second compartment is configured to house a second group of plants separated from the first group of plants by the first sidewall of the first compartment. A third compartment is slidably coupled to the first compartment. The third compartment includes a second outer sidewall. The third compartment is configured to house a third group of plants separated from the first group of plants by the second sidewall. At least the first compartment and the second compartment are configured to be secured to a window frame.

An apparatus for supporting an object at a window of a building comprises a first member, a second member, and a third member. The first member extends along at least a partial width of the window and abuts an interior surface of the building. The first member is configured to support the object by exerting an outward force on the interior surface of the building in response to a downward force exerted by the object. The first member also comprises at least two sections extending from the interior of the building to the exterior of the building. These sections may extend from the interior of the building to the exterior of the building about respective distal ends of the first member. The sum of the forces applied on the surfaces of the building are sufficient to secure the object to the building.

The present disclosure relates to methods, devices, apparatuses, kits, and systems for supporting an object at an opening of a structure, such as a window of a building. In an aspect of the present disclosure, an apparatus includes one or more members that define an interior section and an exterior section. The interior section configured to be coupled to the structure via a first surface of a structure, and the exterior section configured to be coupled to the structure via a second surface of the structure. The apparatus further includes a brace coupled to the one or more members and that extends through a member of the one or more members. The brace comprises includes a first end configured to be coupled to the first surface or the second surface of the structure, and a second end operable to adjust an amount that the brace extends through the member.

The Weight-Balanced Window Ledge Planter is a space-efficient solution tailored for herb gardening on short kitchen window ledges. Utilizing a leveraged edge responsive to weight distribution, this planter securely anchors to the window ledge without additional binding mechanisms. Its bottom features a strategic crevice designed to effortlessly fit over the window lip or handle, facilitating easy placement on narrow ledges. The planter's practicality is further enhanced by an integrated drainage system, directing excess water into the sink and preventing messes on the window ledge. This design represents an ideal solution for convenient, space-saving herb gardening in the kitchen, embodying a harmonious balance of stability, functionality, and ease of use.
