Combining rooms
The combination of rooms has become very popularold apartments. This can be: a kitchen and a living room, a bedroom and a balcony, a living room and a loggia (balcony). One of the important places for those living in an apartment is the hall. By combining the hall with the loggia, you can get a number of advantages:
- the area increases;
- there are different functional areas: recreation, work, near the fireplace, etc .;
- The design decision of two rooms is more interesting than separately.
Project for combining a balcony with a living room.The living room in any apartment is considered a place where you can relax with your family or receive guests. Therefore, it is very important that this place looks better. Almost every apartment has a loggia or a balcony. By combining them with the living room, you can achieve a single space. In this case, the area of this part of the apartment will increase not only visually, but also in reality. Combining these rooms can be done by partially demolishing the wall that is erected between the hall and the balcony, or dismantling the lower part of this wall. Dismantling this part of the wall should be approached very seriously, since a damaged load-bearing wall can lose reliability and strength. It is necessary to invite BTI specialists for such work to permit and assess these changes. Most often, the balcony door and window are removed. The balcony space in this case becomes an extension of the guest room, but at the same time is a separate zone: an office, a play area, etc. Not only the door and window can be removed, but also part of the wall under the window. The upper part of the wall can be designed as a beautiful arch. All this will give the apartment guest room a unique, one-of-a-kind look. The arches are made of plasterboard. Return to contents</a>
Using the balcony or balcony
After dismantling the wall, you should take care ofglazing and insulation of the loggia area, insulating the floors and walls of this room. When using the balcony as an extension of the guest room, the floors, walls, and ceiling should match in decor. The choice of furniture should be consistent in style.
The partition remaining after the windows were dismantled,can be used as a bar counter. The lower partition left after dismantling the window can be used as a table, bar counter, stand for flowers, books, aquarium or other interior details. If the balcony area is to be used as an office, then for privacy, separating one zone from another, you can hang sliding curtains. In this case, the design of the living room and loggia may differ, but it is better to do the room in light colors. For the work area, it is enough to install a computer desk, a light chair, a shelf for books, disks, a table lamp. In this area, you can install an armchair, a large indoor plant. If you have a large loggia, a good option would be to arrange a children's playroom with mandatory insulation of the entire area, since children play on the floor all the time. With this use of the loggia, there should not be a high threshold. It is better to use a bright, varied color scheme and texture. For children of different ages, you can install a Swedish wall, an exercise bike, a game console, a drawing table. In such a room, it is necessary to install shelves for toys so that there is no disorder. Return to the table of contents</a>
Interior with increasing room space
When combining a living room with a balcony, it is necessaryThoughtful design with the general style of the apartment. The passage area through the hall to the loggia should be free. To do this, you should correctly arrange upholstered furniture, walls, a slide. It is necessary to highlight the compositional center, which can be a TV, a three-dimensional panel or something similar. In rectangular rooms, upholstered furniture is installed on the other side. In square living rooms, the emphasis is usually on the corners, while leaving the passage to the balcony free. Light tones can visually increase the volume of the room, and dark ones, although they make the room stylish, reduce the space. When choosing the color scheme of the walls, ceiling, floor, it is advisable to install furniture in the living room in a contrasting color. On a light background of the walls, dark furniture, and on a darkish background, on the contrary, light shades. Window openings can be decorated not only with tulle, curtains made of material, but also hang blinds, roller blinds. The lighting design of the balcony depends on the lighting of the living room. In lighting design, the main lighting fixture when combining the hall and the balcony is a large original chandelier, and small lamps are installed throughout the rest of the area, which can be on the walls, ceiling, or arches.
