Standard window stool size.

The stool should project 3 4 to 1 in. To find the length of the stool make a mark 1 in. Standard door and window trim is typically 2 1 4 inches in width baseboard is about 3 inches and crown is about 4 1 2 inches. If the sizing is out of scale it draws the eye to the wrong area.

If apron tile or wall treatments have not been installed you will need to add the thickness of that application to your depth measurement. The stool should protrude past the casings by about an inch.
