What kind of balconies have you decorated?

  The balcony is an amazing place, as an extension of the indoor space, it does not belong to a single functional area, it is highly plastic and can reflect the quality of life of the homeowner. It can be designed as a flower room, sunroom, kitchen, dining room, playroom and other functional rooms, to achieve the purpose of coexistence of beauty and practicality.

  From the perspective of whether the balcony is open or not, we can divide it into open balcony and closed balcony, so I will introduce you from these two forms.

  Open balcony

  For the open balcony, it can be designed according to the following functional partitions: garden, dining room, leisure area and guest area, etc. to further enhance our pursuit of quality of life.

  Among these several design forms, my favorite is still the leisure garden. In this space, we can plant some flowers and plants, and through photosynthesis during the day, this is a natural oxygen bar, and then arrange a rocking chair, placed in the middle of the balcony, with fresh air and elegant music, even insomniacs should slowly fall into a dream state, right?

  However, this balcony itself is open and unobstructed, so high-rise users must pay more attention to safety issues, especially if there are children at home. In addition, because of the open design, it is inevitable to experience water accumulation on rainy days, so good waterproof and drainage measures are also necessary.

  Enclosed balcony

  In a way, a closed balcony contains most of the functions of an open balcony, and it is more secure. And if the windows of a closed balcony are properly arranged, the space will immediately become your own secret garden!

  Living room with balcony

  At present, many buildings will be a feature of the house type, that is, the balcony connected to the living room, looks like the form of balcony, in essence, has become part of the living room.   For such a space structure, it can be designed as a dedicated leisure area, make a hammock, put a lazy boy sofa or cushion, read a book in your spare time, sleep on the floor, and be alone in any way you like, unrestrained.

  Bedroom with balcony

  If it is a bedroom with a balcony, the original design of the building usually uses the door to separate a separate space, most of which is used for storage, but I think it would be more effective to open it up, and then through the half wall to do a simple cover, the bedroom with a small balcony as their own space alone.

  If the balcony is large enough, you can also put a soft cushion, plus their favorite small table, leisure time with the view outside the window to watch movies, listen to music; busy, make a cup of tea, a person alone, work more comfortable.

  Kitchen with balcony

  Kitchen with balcony area, it is recommended to add interior doors, which can be used as storage space, so that it is not only convenient to take, will not make the kitchen too congested, but also do not have to worry about grease. And if the space is slightly larger, then it can be used as a dining room, with the city sunrise and sunset to enjoy the food, cooking will also become an achievement.

  Choose a good window

  It is worth mentioning that if you choose a closed balcony, outdoor sunlight, wind and rain, noise, etc. will have a certain impact on the indoor environment. If the windows are not soundproof, the above-mentioned leisure space will not be established, no one wants to work with the sound of outdoor traffic or watch movies, read books, let alone in the bedroom balcony open, whether the night can still be comfortable sleep is a problem.

  In addition, the balcony in the form of a meeting area or restaurant design, the treatment of sunlight is very important, the sun is more sunny, the balcony seconds into a steamer, even with air conditioning is not helpful. At this time, it is recommended that additional louvers in the balcony window for shading, or directly change a window with better shading effect, such as glass configuration for double silver Low-E or laminated Low-E glass, even in the sun, will be cool and comfortable.

  According to the above two points it is also easy to see that no matter what kind of functional area you want to transform the balcony into, the role of windows in most cases is very important, with it, to ensure the basic attributes of the functional area such as warm, quiet, comfortable and safe.

  If you also have the idea of redesigning the balcony, then before that, please also check whether the windows of a sealed balcony meet the standards, if not, it is better to change a window first ~
