It is well known that the repair is impossible to finish. It can only be stopped. The money ran out or ideas are exhausted – all these are serious reasons for termination repair. About money everyone decide for himself, but interesting ideas finishing of balconies and loggias is more than enough. You finished the insulation and glazed balcony or loggia (about this step, today we will not speak), previously decided that the venture should have left to find a bright idea and implement.
Area ↑
Often we ourselves create problems, trying after a good repair to return to the loggia of the old stuff. A lot of furniture in a small square – not the best solution, even if the furniture there was.
Bright colours, lots of light and comfortable furniture will allow you to turn the loggia into a beautiful recreation area. How do you like the hanging chairs? Original and comfortable. You can bet that for the right to call him «its» family members are constantly arguing. Then you can hang two, three.
Decorate the loggia neat wicker furniture.
Importantly, the furniture was comfortable, didn’t take up much space and fit in the new interior.
Missing out on our balconies of the square and organization of bed.
Do not limit your imagination to traditional bed or couch. In the apartment you are on is unlikely to do that, but on renovated balconies… A hanging bed or hammock where you can swing for one this pleasure was worth starting this repair!
East – a delicate matter ↑
Why we drew attention to the Eastern theme? In addition to the interesting design, this low furniture, carpets on the floor and lots of beautiful pillows. For lying down it is desirable to have a fully glazed balcony (on the balcony of our review from the prone position will not interfere with the fence).
Bar – coffee shop – second dining room ↑
The second dining room can be arranged only on the large balconies. But with the comfort to enjoy a Cup of coffee, a snack, flip through a magazine, or sit down for a «bar» the bar there is a possibility in the loggia or balcony of any size.
The bar can be enjoyed (especially forged) or with their hands to make countertops. Compact and elegant furniture is not difficult to buy in stores. A folding table will make any man.
Greenhouse ↑
Sverhsekretnye the size of our balconies and loggias, if desired, and a little effort, you can expand to the size of the rain forest or Villa with a beautiful fountain surrounded by beautiful flower beds. At least to the size of the branch garden.
Balcony-flower garden ↑
The surest way to turn the city in which we live, in the garden – start with turning their own balcony or loggia into a luxurious flower garden. In our climate, the time for cultivation of flowers is limited to weather conditions, but on the glazed balcony that can be enjoyed all year round. To the delight of myself and friends. And in the spring to make a couple of flower beds around the house, to his city to turn into a garden.
Determine how oriented to the cardinal your balcony. So you will know the light level and the duration of daylight at different times of the year. In the first «floral» season constantly measure the temperature on the balcony. It is necessary to select colors, because they require different conditions for the normal development.
Consider the layout of plants to create beautiful compositions. Plants should not obscure each other sunlight. Plants that are unable to ceiling on the balcony is not the place. You they will not be able to create a comfortable environment, and other plants, they will shade. And should not be limited to the usual location of the pots on the window sills and shelves. Hang planters to walls and ceiling, install a support for climbing plants. Just remember to arrange a convenient approach to watering and caring for them.
«Ladder» of slats attached to the wall – simple and beautiful solution for creating a support climbing plants.
Another available option is the support device of plastic tubes with transverse slats or ropes between them. At a height convenient to take care of plants, watering, pruning to do.
For lovers of nature, we offer accommodation from the end wall of the loggia is a small decorative fountain on the background of beautiful Wallpaper. Agree that the choice of different forms of decorative fountains, plants and photo wall murals on this subject huge.
About fountains, waterfalls and smaller ponds we’ll talk.
Branch cottages on the balcony ↑
The first thing you will need for numerous pots and plastic boxes under the beds with greens – a wide sill. Turn from this position in the contract for the glazing of balconies or loggias.
It turns out that a useful area on the window sills can be significantly increased by ordering the replacement of the window frame between the room and balcony wide window sills on the loggia. We thought about this option often even do not think, but what «reserve» it is easy to get.
Instead of a sill for the window opening between the bathroom and the balcony, hang on the height of the box, and the flower bed or garden will always be at hand.
Mastered «territory» windowsills, looking for opportunities «seal sleeps» on the balcony. And find. This idea is reminiscent of terraced agriculture.
An old wooden ladder, painted and restored, helping to accommodate so many pots that are on the floor just won’t fit. And it looks interesting.
However, this is not all the placement of the branch giving on the loggia or balcony. Prices for cucumbers and tomatoes in the stores «biting», and to harvest at the main suburban area of work is far away? Let’s see what cucumber can be grown on balconies or glassed-in balcony:
You only have to place the boxes with seedlings and then tie future «green harvest». The height of the ceilings in our apartments more than in greenhouses, and the necessary temperature and humidity to provide easily – close the Windows, shut the blinds, put on the floor of the water tank, and «steam» ready.
More fountains, good and different! ↑
Decorative fountains, little ponds and mini-waterfalls always look interesting. And surrounded by flowers and plants on the balcony are especially spectacular. They can be made with your own hands or buy in store.
Decorative fountains are appropriate in the loggia and the balcony, is decorated in almost any style and for any purpose: leisure area, suburban area, a gym and even the office. You only need to choose any type of decorative fountain. In addition to decorative functions, such as fountains and waterfalls will help you to maintain the desired humidity in the room.
Interesting design technique for the design of the loggia or balcony – use of pebbles on the floor. Pebbles can zonirovat room, framing decorative fountains.
If the layer of pebbles serves as an independent floor covering, do not forget to make tracks. Ale this purpose perfectly suitable paving slabs «under shingles».
A special place among decorative waterfalls is a waterfalls of string-drip. They are made of all sizes and shapes, so choose the suitable option for the winter garden or recreation areas will not be a problem.
Great idea for decoration of the loggia (balcony it is not suitable) is to place the well-known aquarium on the site of the dismantled window and door opening.
The size of the opening will accommodate not only a standard small aquarium, but «house» for fish of a significant size. Showiness of this aquarium is, of course, will not be able to compete with glass walls underwater hotel rooms Atlantis Dubai, however, will make your balcony truly original. The design of the walls around and under the aquarium can be done in a marine style.
Office ↑
To equip an office work in buildings constructed according to modern designs. In old houses will be able to organize the working place. However, in the old housing stock not only of loggias and balconies are small, but the room does not differ impressive size. Therefore, any additional area will be perceived by the owners are happy. Moreover, this area is not only functional, but also comfortable.
The main problem will be purchasing the appropriate size of furniture. In stores today is a good selection of compact office furniture, however, the production of their own hands the simplest of the countertop will not cause you trouble.
Wall decoration according to your wishes. It is important to remember that in a small room walls and ceiling should be light pastel colours. This will help to visually expand the space. On the shelves, for which there is enough space to house everything you need: books, manuals, CDs.
More radical is the idea of using the countertops as a part of the dismantled window and the doorway between the bathroom and the balcony. On this option you can go only with high-quality insulation of the loggia. And remember that to carry radiators from the room is prohibited.
Mini gym ↑
On a small balcony can fit a treadmill or an exercise bike. The opportunity to make a real gym depends on the floor space for physical exercises will be enough for a very small area for strength training need a big loggia.
As the flooring under the bike or treadmill will fit almost any: linoleum, laminate, carpet with hard bristles. For intense sports you can lay rubber paving tiles, which are designed to cover playgrounds and sports grounds.
After sports it is good to sit in the sauna. Surprisingly, our little balconies a sauna it is possible to place! Below are the finished sizes of saunas:
And even on the smallest balcony can easily fit a cedar barrel. The pleasure you get from sitting in it, it is difficult with something to compare!
After the repair and insulation of the loggia or balcony you can, if desired, to turn into additional functional and comfortable space. Which you just can not hurt.
