How to equip a balcony - cozy ideas for every taste

Dining room

The simplest solution for furnishing loggias - to arrange a comfortable place for breakfast or tea drinking in a small space. Garden or folding furniture, as well as soft armchairs can serve as a table and chairs.

Look examples of kitchens on the balcony.

If you expand the window sill, it will turn into an impromptu bar counter - panoramic windows will allow you to enjoy the view while drinking coffee in a romantic setting.

Cabinet

Another way to use the balcony wisely is to equip it place to work or study... This is a good option for those looking for privacy and focus. You will need electricity, a table with a chair and a computer.

Also, take care of blocking light: during the daytime, the sun's rays can glare on the monitor. Dense curtains, blinds or roller blinds will help to solve the problem, which will save space.

Reading corner

Lovers of paper books will appreciate the balcony, which has been converted into a small library: it can accommodate shelving, a floor lamp and a comfortable armchair. The abundance of light and soundproofing will allow you to immerse yourself in reading with your head.

The shelves can be positioned both vertically (near a narrow wall) and horizontally (along the window sill).

Sleeping place

The insulated balcony will allow you to create a small room to accommodate guests at night. This idea is also appropriate for a one-room apartment or studio where two people live: one person can settle down here to sleep while the other goes about his business. The best option for a bed is a design with a drawer, in which it is convenient to store things.

Look ideas for the location of the sofa on the balcony.

Garden or greenhouse

True connoisseurs of wildlife can organize a winter garden on the loggia or set up a small vegetable garden with edible herbs. Balcony can be a temporary home for indoor plants: In the summer, it is convenient to collect them in one place for regular watering and spraying.

The only problem - direct sunlight, which can damage the flowers.

It is pleasant to relax among the green spaces, so we recommend placing a wicker chair or a soft sofa in the mini-garden.

Gym

If the sports equipment does not fit into the interior style, we recommend sending them to the loggia. Exercise machines should be light enough, and the loggia should be insulated, as low temperatures in winter can ruin the electronic mechanisms.

Suitable for a home gym on the balcony

• yoga mat,
• Swedish wall,
• horizontal bar,
• bicycle ergometer,
• dumbbells,

It is better to use non-toxic paints, plaster and cork for finishing.

Workshop

An enthusiastic person who loves to work with his hands will never give up a separate equipped place. On the balcony you can equip carpentry, sewing corner, place for needleworkand also put an easel, telescope or synthesizer.

For an artist's or carpenter's workshop, it is important to choose durable materials that are easy to maintain and maintain.

Game room

Additional play space is a great way to please your little one.To equip the playroom on the balcony, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the child, monitor the comfortable temperature and provide the room with toys.

Finishing materials must be non-toxic. For active children, you can allocate a place for sports equipment.

In a small apartment, where every centimeter counts, you should use the loggia to the maximum. Perhaps it is she who, as a result of the repair, will become the most beloved corner in the house.
