The balcony has long ceased to play the role of a kind of warehouse of unnecessary things; modern interior designers are happy to use it as part of the overall design concept. Thanks to a balcony or a wide loggia, you can create another cozy corner in your apartment, you just need to get some inspiration by applying one or another idea for arranging a balcony space.
Instructions
Step 1
Student study place or "home office"
Having a spacious wide loggia, you can easily use this space as a "home office" or a school place. Place a computer desk with a chair, place several shelves for books or documentation, and if space allows, place an additional cabinet. This idea is perfect for a loggia located in the children's room of two schoolchildren. Tables can be positioned in different corners, so each has its own work area.
Step 2
Wardrobe
Another original solution, if your balcony is located in the bedroom, is to organize a mini-dressing room there. You can equip the space with compact dressers and medium-wide wardrobes. If the apartment as a whole does not have enough space for storing various things, then you can generally build additional shelves by covering the niche parts of the balcony with them.
Step 3
Rest zone
You can also make a kind of relaxation and privacy area from the balcony. Place a rocking chair, patterned bench, lounger, small sofa, or armchair in there. If space permits, you can also install a hanging swing or hammock and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Step 4
home library
If your balcony is insulated and has a humidity and temperature similar to room temperature, it is quite possible to equip it for a kind of home library. Place shelves on the walls for books and other literature.
Step 5
Tea and coffee area
Place a small table on the balcony with a couple of chairs or stools. You can also build a kind of bar counter with high bar stools overlooking the street. In addition, you can add tea and coffee accessories to the interior, place an electric kettle and add a small sideboard. Likewise, you can use this space as a full-fledged dining area, especially if the balcony is directly adjacent to the kitchen.
Step 6
The gym
Exercise machines can take up enough free space, and sometimes even cause discomfort. To avoid this and at the same time have the opportunity to fully engage in sports, you can equip the balcony area for a mini-gym. There you can place both free-standing exercise machines and those that are easily mounted on the wall.
Step 7
Greenhouse or "winter garden"
Houseplant lovers will surely appreciate this idea. When arranging such a "winter garden", take care of good lighting, moderate humidity and room temperature on the balcony. Equip special shelves for plants and seedlings of different sizes and enjoy the scent of your favorite flowers and plants without leaving your home.
Step 8
Extra bed
Such a solution may seem to the most relevant owners of small apartments. Place here either a full bed or a pull-out sofa in case guests stay overnight. Supplement your sleeping area with the lighting you need and enjoy the starry sky before bed.
Step 9
Workshop
Having a favorite activity or hobby, you have probably long dreamed of your own workshop or craft area, where you can place all your materials, tools and even finished work. To equip this area, you may need a spacious wardrobe, a table with a table lamp, hinged shelves, an easel (if you like to draw).
Step 10
Children's Corner
It is not always possible in a children's room to fit toys, swings, and sleeping places, so the balcony can be converted into a kind of play area for children. Place boxes with toys there, lay a soft fluffy rug, fix the swing, make a mini-hut, in the end, and your loggia will sparkle with new colors, becoming for children the most favorite place in the whole apartment.
