A large, brightly lit balcony is,probably, the dream of each of us. However, in reality, most often the residents of our country are faced with an addition to the room in the form of an elongated rectangle, with an area of literally a couple of meters. And this is especially often the case in small apartments, where every corner already counts. That is why the competent use of additional space can be a life-saving solution that is important to think through carefully. So, if we have a room closed on all sides with a window frame, then the intermediate block between it and the balcony can be simply removed, using a load-bearing wall to organize a bar counter, a desk, a shelf for flowers. Thus, visually, the living space will expand, become lighter. At the same time, the area that was previously uninhabited, with the help of several armchairs and a table, can easily be transformed into a recreation area. In furniture stores, you can find very interesting oversized couches or sets. If there is no need for such a design, you should pay attention to the two walls that will definitely be at your disposal. Each of them can become the basis for open shelves or closed cabinets that do not interfere with sunlight. And there are many options associated with such an idea. For example, a carpet with a bright pattern plus open shelves for toys - and now the child has his own corner for studying. A folding table and a comfortable chair allow you to make a school desk for him. You can arrange closed compartments for ordinary things, turning it into a very convenient clean pantry. In this case, the supporting structure on which the interior window rested becomes the basis for a computer desk. So, a personal PC is taken outside the room, while actually remaining in it - this saves quite a lot of space. If the balcony is open, then in the same way you can install two side structures, on the horizontals of which a garden is arranged. Vegetables and greens, perennials and flowers, ivy climbing along the walls will delight with their beauty and bring benefits for six or even nine months a year. With the right selection of varieties, you can organize a very interesting composition.Expanding the space using a balcony is a very ergonomic solution.
