Making a balcony in the apartment
The balcony in standard apartments has limitedarea, so it is quite difficult to use it effectively without performing labor-intensive and expensive redevelopment, which also requires permission from an architect or other specialist. That is why most people turn the balcony into a kind of storage room, a smoking room or a drying rack for washing clothes. Such use is impractical in most cases, and designers, in collaboration with builders, have proven this more than once by implementing more successful design of a balcony in an apartment in various ways. We will consider these methods, or rather options for practical use of a balcony, below. We hope that one of the examples given will inspire you to radically remodel your balcony.1. Study. On a well-insulated balcony, it is quite possible to create a small office and move there the computer and cabinet with work materials that are in the way at home. The main thing is that the balcony is not on the ground floor, otherwise thieves will be too tempted to break out the window and borrow expensive computer equipment. The advantage of a work office on the balcony is privacy; no one at home will interfere with your concentration on work. On the other hand, the sun shining through the window and street noise can interfere, so you need to use good double-glazed windows and, if possible, blinds. Let's start our review of balcony workstations with a budget option, which requires virtually no additional investment; you just need to glaze the balcony and choose a table of the appropriate size.
Another simple, but much more expensive option. To implement it, you will have to do cosmetics for the balcony, plus use a little imagination when installing the table.
A more expensive and interesting option.Apparently, the improvised office was made on the balcony from the kitchen side, but the most important thing is that it does not completely cover the window, and therefore allows sunlight to enter the room.
A more expensive option that involvesredevelopment of the apartment (enlargement of windows) and expensive finishing of the balcony. It looks nice, but is not very practical; too much free space is wasted.
A study on the loggia, or on a significantly expanded balcony. Very nice and apparently comfortable.
And the last one, one of the cutest options.
2. Workshop.A workshop on the balcony is often the only opportunity to create something without disturbing household members and without being subject to constant reproaches. In addition, on the balcony you can perform work involving the use of caustic and strong-smelling substances and materials, which, if they do not stink up the house, will definitely ruin something. The balcony is easier to ventilate and can be adapted, unlike the living room. The first example is a typically male workshop on a balcony. It's a bit cramped, of course, but it's better than nothing.
The second example is a workshop for women, decorated in slightly warmer colors and a little neater. It's even tighter here, but you can fit in.
Further on, another workshop with unimaginable capacity.
To be fair, another sewing workshop.
And finally, we present the main masterpiece.
As you can see, the workshops on the balconies are no differentspecial neatness and beauty, but they don’t need this, since the work does not imply perfect cleanliness. And lastly, a video about making glass jewelry on the balcony. Read about it. 3. Recreation area. If the sun periodically peeks into the balcony and if it offers a more or less decent view, then you can create a sitting area with a table and chairs on the balcony. Believe me, drinking coffee or tea on the balcony in the summer, watching the sunrise, is an indescribable feeling that allows you not only to quickly wake up, but also to gain positivity, at least for the next 5-6 hours. By the way, decorating a balcony in an apartment as a recreation area is very popular, but also very expensive. We look and silently envy?
If you also decide to do something on the balconysuch, but you are not sure that you can handle it on your own, then you should use the services of professionals. For Muscovites, we can recommend the Glazing Service company, whose managers we know personally. They will conscientiously put your balcony in order and do it inexpensively (by Moscow standards, of course). Of course, it won’t be as beautiful as in the pictures above (it’s very expensive), but a nice and neat environment is guaranteed. Here's an example.
