In Russian cities, there are still enough five-story buildings, the so-called Khrushchevs. Since the time of their construction, people have been circulating jokes about the meager area of \u200b\u200bthe bathroom in these apartments and tiny balconies. Many owners do not even try to ennoble them somehow and use them as a repository of the necessary and unnecessary. Meanwhile, a small balcony can be turned into a functional room and accommodate something for which there is not enough space in the apartment. We offer several options for using a small balcony.
french veranda
Replace the usual wrought-iron fencing with arc-shaped bars, hang the same wrought-iron lantern, decorate the balcony with many flowers and put a small table and chair.Here is a place for tea drinking. And such a balcony can no longer be used for drying clothes or storing skis, an artificial Christmas tree and an inflatable Christmas tree. But the bike on the wall does not spoil the view at all. The main thing is that it should shine with cleanliness, and perfect order reigned around.
Bedroom under the stars
This option is suitable for residents of the upper floors. The balcony can be left open or glazed. The main thing is that the fence is as transparent as possible. Now you can create a mini-bedroom and admire the stars at night. If the bedroom is summer, you can not worry about the insulation of the balcony. But to use it in the winter, you will have to take care of combining it with the room. During insulation, part of the space will be “eaten up” due to the installation of profiles.
Winter Garden
For its arrangement, it will also be necessary to insulate the balcony and glaze it. And filling the greenhouse with many plants, including tropical ones, is not a problem today. We do not recommend this option to those who have never been involved in growing indoor plants. Investments are considerable, and the result can be deplorable.
Gym
After finishing the balcony, you can place a couple of exercise machines on its square and do fitness, looking at the city landscapes. Again, the bike can be hung on the wall, the rollers can be hidden in the hanging locker, skis and Nordic walking poles will also be where to place if you make a box in the balcony floor.
Library
If you think over the lighting of the balcony and place hanging shelves for books, put a rocking chair, you get a home library.
Corner for children's games
With this option for using the balcony, you need to carefully consider a reliable and safe fence. It is better to attach it to the children's room or the parent's bedroom.And then turn the balcony into a princess's house, a pirate's cabin, a secluded corner for games with a corner for creative work. It will be necessary to place here a cabinet or cabinets for toys and stationery.
Continuation of the kitchen
A small kitchen can be combined with a small balcony, and now you are already the owners of a zoned space. The balcony is great for dining. To do this, you will need to take care of the insulation, combined in two areas of decoration, and choose comfortable dining furniture. if space permits, place closed areas on the balcony for storing kitchen utensils.
Before arranging a balcony, find out what maximum load it can withstand, and stick to this figure in order to avoid collapse of the structure.
