Agree, almost all residents of megacities at the end of the working week are eager to get out of the city, into the bosom of nature. However, not everyone and not always have the strength and opportunity to regularly get out at least to the nearest forest belt. A well-designed balcony or loggia design will help a tired city dweller relax after a hard day or week.
With a little imagination, the balcony design will turn a small piece of a city apartment into a terrace of a wooden cottage or a cozy Mediterranean patio, or maybe into a respectable backyard of a solid brick mansion. Modern manufacturers offer a huge amount of a wide variety of materials, decor, landscape furniture. Such “helpers” make it possible to transform a boring and dull space in which unnecessary old things are stored into a cozy and comfortable place.
The design of the balcony and loggia will help make these rooms an organic continuation of the entire apartment.
Fences
Beforestart radical changes, you should critically assess the condition of the fence. Usually it looks boring, formal. However, it should be remembered that it is this element that most of all falls into the field of view. A beautiful fence will emphasize, designate the style of the urban "patio". When planning the design of a balcony, loggia, you can use wrought iron or glass railings that allow you to admire the panoramas of the city. Those who care primarily about privacy should prefer blind structures in the form of brickwork.
Don't overload the balcony base plates, so you should pay attention to materials that are light in weight.
Walls
When designing a balcony, maintain style. So, imitation of stone cladding is suitable for almost all interior options, you just have to take care of the color and texture of false materials. For wall cladding, you can also use decorative panels or clapboard.
Floor covering
Open balconies are exposed to precipitation as well as low temperatures. Therefore, when developing a balcony design, it is worth choosing landscape materials used to cover terraces or paths. For these purposes, ceramic tiles, artificial turf, decking, mosaic base are suitable. In summer, you can decorate the balcony with light rugs, bamboo mats, walkways, etc.
Furniture
For balconies, weather-resistant furniture should be selected. An excellent solution would beplastic and wicker products, all kinds of sunbeds. If space permits, set up a table, grill, wall cabinet and other household items.
Plants
You should consider the size of the balcony when choosing plants for its design. Massive large bushes and trees will be inappropriate and impractical in small areas. If there is not enough free space, it is better to purchase climbing plants by placing them along the walls. Ceramic vases and figures will serve as additional elements that emphasize the style of the room.
