An office for work or a place to rest? Or maybe a place for breakfast in the air? Whatever its dimensions, these are extra square meters to use wisely!
Balcony in a city apartment – a godsend for the interior designer. Forget about storing unnecessary things. We present you some functional ideas that will inspire you and help you look at balcony meters in a new way.
- Patio-style balcony
An attractive place to sit among greenery, and at the same time a wonderful opportunity to be outside while you are at the table or having fun with your family and friends. Well-chosen garden furniture, pillows, many spectacular plants, sunlight and lighting powered by it are enough.
- Breakfast or dinner corner
What could be better than a cozy place for breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening outdoors and all this on your own balcony? Why not create a wonderful place, enjoying the opportunity to spend some time under the playful rays of the sun or under the starry sky. Candles and garlands will add romance, and soft blankets and decorative pillows create coziness.
- Home Office
In addition to a nice desk, a comfortable chair, as well as a cabinet or shelves for storing books and accessories, it is necessary to think about protection from bright sunlight.
Roman blinds or thick fabric curtains in not very dark colors, in combination with combined lighting (table lamp and overhead lighting) – a formula for the correct layout of the workspace.
- Lounge area
If you are not a fan of spaces filled with furniture and accessories, you can have space without giving up coziness and comfort. If you like minimalism, a houseplant in a stylish planter and a designer armchair are quite enough.
- Living room among greenery
Phytostena – a popular technique for decorating walls with natural greenery. Why not use it on your own balcony? No complex irrigation systems and special maintenance are required. Such a design composition consists of plants or moss specially processed, retaining its freshness and beauty.
- Bar area
Nice view of the city? Why not make a stylish bar area on the balcony? An ergonomic skirting bar counter with a depth of at least 30-40 cm., high chairs and a rack for alcoholic beverages or a designer service are the realization of the idea.
- Dressing room and storage space
A full-fledged dressing room on the balcony, of course, will not work for us, but setting up space for storing things is a completely practical solution. Additional bookshelves, a designer wardrobe or bed linen will help unload the main territory of the apartment.
- Mini-greenhouse
If you are a lover of indoor plants, a corner with flowers or ornamental trees will delight the eye. On the other hand, you can dedicate this space to fresh spices – various shade-loving plants such as tarragon, mint, lemon balm will smell pleasant and will serve you in the preparation of your favorite dishes.
- Pet Home
Beds for cats, cages for rabbits… Where can we find a place for them in an apartment if it is already stylistically sustainable? If the balcony is well secured and warm, we can safely accommodate the animal along with its accessories. Undoubtedly, your pet will sit comfortably and appreciate this space of its own.
If you are still hesitant and find it difficult to put your ideas into practice, then do not hesitate to seek professional support. We are always there for an expert look at your interior and exterior! [:]
