Seating area on the balcony

Usually they don’t do this because it’s not really necessary or you don’t want to mess around. But if you have a large family and not a very large apartment, you should think about why not add another “room” to your home where you can relax in relative peace and quiet.

It is important to note right away that it is impossible to combine a balcony with living rooms. There are, of course, a number of compromise options, but you can’t just tear down the wall and make only the living room out of the balcony and the living room. Also, open balconies will not be considered in this article, since for our climate it is simply pointless to make a recreation area out of such a balcony. After all, it will be possible to use it at best for six months, not to mention the fact that you can’t put upholstered furniture on such a balcony - rain and birds will ruin it in an instant. So we will talk about closed balconies and loggias.

First of all, you must insulate and equip your balcony. Good thermal insulation is needed so that the balcony does not freeze in winter, and it can be normally heated with a heater, for example. Well, the word equip means wiring so that there is light or at least sockets in which you can turn on a lamp and a heater. Of course, you can’t run a full-fledged heating system, like in the living room, on the balcony, but the same heater, even the cheapest one, may well solve the problem.

Next, you need to decide what you would like to see on the balcony. This is a seating area for reading and watching movies. Or would you like to eat here sometimes. Or maybe you want to enjoy a view of the city? Based on your wishes, you can already start planning the interior. For example, if the view is important to you, then it makes sense to install large windows from which you could enjoy the view even while sitting. It also makes sense to choose the style of the interior that you would like to see, at least approximately. Based on the chosen style, it is already necessary to select wall, floor and ceiling coverings. Usually, fiberboard, chipboard or MDF panels are chosen for the walls and ceiling of the balcony, as they have a long service life and look quite nice.

They are still often chosen for the offices of the authorities in the offices. Well, flooring is usually represented by laminate or linoleum. The color scheme plays an important role, as it often directly correlates with the style of the interior. After you have decided on the style, your wishes, colors and finished the floor, ceiling and walls, you can start furnishing. For a balcony, you should not choose some expensive furniture, and if you want to save money, then you can generally make it yourself - find euro pallets and connect them into a sofa frame, sew a large pillow, put the pillow on the frame - and you have a sofa ready.

There are a lot of tutorials on how to create home furniture on the Internet, so you can. But, you can just buy the right furniture if you don't want to bother. Again, what kind of furniture you need to evaluate based on your wishes. If you want an analogue of the living room, then you can get by with a comfortable chair or a small sofa with a bookshelf. If you would like to hold evening dinners, then you can also put a small dining table. If this is supposed to be a space for creativity, then it needs to be provided with a decent desktop.

The final touch is decor. It is completely optional for this room, but desirable. Pay attention to indoor plants. If you are afraid to freeze them - just get high quality artificial flowers. They will be very similar to living ones, but they will not require care and will not be afraid of temperature changes. Also, a beautiful poster or picture will not hurt.

Of course, if you want a beautiful balcony that resembles popular photographs in terms of interior, then you need to buy the appropriate furniture. It, of course, is more expensive, but it will also look more interesting than an example, and it will be more pleasant to use it. Where to get such furniture?
