A balcony is part of almost every city apartment. And even if its area is small, this small area cannot be underestimated.
Most often it is used as a storage for unnecessary things, which are not thrown away. But the arrangement of balconies and loggias (see photos on this page) is not such a laborious and costly business. Without any special financial costs, you can make it the most comfortable corner in the apartment. Be a little creative and put in a little effort.
The balcony is a windswept platform. If it is in an apartment building and faces a busy street, the city may monitor the appearance of the building's façade and prohibit any changes to it. Therefore, you will not succeed in glazing a balcony in such a house.
Arrangement of a balcony in such a building is very problematic. Its use is limited. You can rest on it only in good weather. And yet it is possible to make a charming flower garden out of an open balcony, a place where you can sit with friends.
Arrangement of the balcony should start with flooring. You may not need to change anything else, except for a dilapidated or damaged fence. Most oftenceramic tiles are used for this purpose. It has proven itself to be resistant to rain and sudden changes in temperature.
Now you can start choosing colors, without which the balcony will look too boring. Nowadays, buying flowers in outdoor pots or hanging planters is not a problem. Balcony railing can be an excellent support for climbing plants.
Arrangement of a small balcony involves the use of folding furniture, which, if necessary, can be removed and brought into the apartment.
Most of the apartment owners strive to make a balcony or loggia a functional and cozy space. This can be done in the only way - to glaze and insulate the balcony. To do this, install metal-plastic bags, finish walls, floors and roofs with heat-insulating materials.
Today we will not go into the details of this process, but imagine that the balcony is already glazed and insulated. How can this small and narrow space be used? Here you can organize a workplace for needlework or a “study” of a home master.
Arrangement of a balcony for an office is a great solution. Here the owner of the apartment can retire and work quietly.
On a closed and insulated balcony, you can organize an excellent sports corner. Many modern simulators will fit perfectly even on the narrowest balcony. You can train without disturbing other household members, and in the summer and spring your workouts will take place in the fresh air.
Quite often in our apartments there is not enough space for a child to play. Arranging a balcony for a children's corner will help solve this problem. Of course, you can't play football on the balcony, and you won't be able to hide and seek either. But you can calmly draw, arrange a luxurious house for a doll or a spacious garage for many cars.
