A large, brightly lit balcony is probablythe dream of any of us. However, in reality, most often the inhabitants of our country are faced with an addition to the room with the shape of an elongated rectangle, which has an area of literally a couple of meters. And especially often this is the case in small apartments, where every corner is already on the account. That is why the competent use of additional space can be a life-saving solution, which is important to carefully consider. 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 desktop, a flower shelf. Thus, the living space will visually expand and become lighter. At the same time, the area that was not previously inhabited, with the help of several chairs and a table, easily turns 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, which will definitely be at your disposal. Each of them can be the basis for open shelves or closed cabinets that do not obstruct sunlight. And there are tons of options associated with this idea. For example, a carpet with a bright pattern plus open shelves for toys - and now the child has his own corner for classes. A folding table and a comfortable chair allow you to make a study 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 the computer desk. So, the personal PC is taken out of the room, remaining in fact 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, perennial plants and flowers, ivy weaving along the walls for six or even nine months a year will delight you with their beauty and benefit. With the right selection of varieties, you can organize a very interesting composition.
