How to make a balcony your favorite place in the house?What should I turn it into? A bedroom? A bar? A greenhouse? Just make a workshop or an office out of it? And most importantly: is it worth starting to do all this in the fall? You will learn about this from our article 1. Balcony-bar In the morning - a coffee shop, in the evening - a cozy bar, and outside the window - a changing landscape, from sunrise to a sea of lights. At these moments in the entire Universe there is only you and your balcony-bar.
2.Balcony-workshop Not everyone can afford to buy an apartment with a separate room for doing their favorite thing. A balcony can become a creative nest. The main thing here is to fill the useful space with accessories and tools so that, on the one hand, everything is at hand, on the other, nothing gets in the way. There is noise and hubbub in the apartment, and you are in a creative "house".
3.Balcony-greenhouse If for bars and workshops it is desirable that the balcony be closed and insulated, then the greenhouse can be mobile: in summer - open, drowning in flowers both inside and outside, and in winter - carefully insulated, with the maintenance of a special temperature. Only sincere plant lovers can afford such luxury - very labor-intensive work.
4.Balcony-bedroom It is unlikely that anyone would agree to sleep permanently in a very limited space. Most likely, this option is good in the warm season, when you want to lie in the fresh air, but there is no opportunity to go out into nature. True, some "kind" apartment owners equip special sleeping places for guests on the balcony... So that they do not linger?
5.Balcony for relaxation Everyone needs time to communicate with a good person - themselves. You close the door - and find yourself in a comfort zone: soft pillows, comfortable chairs, beautiful things... Here you can climb with your feet on the sofa or throw them on the table like American cowboys, sing a morning song or just stare at one point and think about good things.
Top 5. Russian projects 1.Loggia for a girl A cozy corner for a girl is located at 3.2 meters. Mediterranean style, nothing superfluous: porcelain stoneware on the floor, natural mother-of-pearl mosaic on the windowsill. As the author of the project, designer Vera Tarlovskaya, notes, the ceiling was insulated and covered with moisture-resistant plasterboard.
2.Balcony for a young married couple Designers Anna Mikhailenko and Vasilisa Kozyreva designed an apartment for a young couple with a small child; the clients wanted to combine modern classics and a light accent of art deco.
3."One-room apartment" plus balcony Designers Anna and Philipp Shutov worked on a project of a one-room apartment in St. Petersburg. It will be inhabited by a married couple whose children have grown up, so it is time to enjoy each other and receive guests. Minimum furniture, maximum comfort.
4.Smoking room The design bureau headed by Olga Kulekina created a project of a three-story apartment in a palace style. In front of you is one of the balconies, which has been transformed into a smoking room.
5.Country house style in a metropolis Architects Anastasia Sheveleva and Alexander Malinin love to experiment. The style of this balcony is a mixture of French, Scandinavian and Italian traditions in the arrangement of country house interiors, but transferred to a big city apartment. Simple and natural materials prevail in the decoration and furniture: plaster walls and ceilings with painting, natural wood, ceramic tiles with patterns, various textiles made of wool, linen and cotton.
Our opinion:— In Russia, a balcony is used as a useful area only when there is not enough space in the apartment. Abroad — no: there they try to make any area of the apartment or house beautiful and functional. If you decide to use the balcony as another room, then it is best to do the renovation in the fall: if the insulation is done poorly, it will be visible and “heard” immediately when the outside temperature drops — there is time to correct the mistakes. And then — and then enjoy. liveinternet.ru/users/5163870/post322575893/ moreidei.ru/balkony_foto/
