Dressing room on the balcony and loggia

When there is not enough space in the apartment, there are no extra meters for placing clothes, a dressing room on the balcony and loggia will be an excellent way out. The main thing is to think over well its arrangement.

There are a number of advantages and disadvantages to creating a dressing room on the balcony, which must be taken into account before starting to create such a room.

Let's pay attention to the pros:

• a separate room allows you to save space in the room;

• it is possible to place all things while organizing the correct storage system;

• if necessary, the room can be ventilated, which will have a very good effect on clothes;

• it is always easier to keep order in a specially designated space for storing things.

There are also disadvantages:

• before equipping a dressing room, you will have to prepare the room very carefully, and this entails both a waste of time and additional costs;

• if the room is improperly equipped, there is a risk of getting additional moisture, which will immediately lead to damage to things and an unpleasant odor.

A dressing room on a balcony or loggia requires special preparation, which consists of many stages. It all starts with the fact that you need to make repairs on the balcony, align the walls, make sure that there is not a single gap anywhere. The balcony must be properly insulated.

First of all, you need to choose very high quality and reliable double-glazed windows. You cannot save on this. Neither air nor moisture should penetrate inside.

There are walls in the dressing room inside the apartment, thanks to which everything that happens is hidden from prying eyes. On the balcony, it is also worth taking care of this, so the glazing can be tinted, mirrored, stained glass.

But at the same time, you can also consider such an option when two walls on the balcony are sewn up with bricks or panels. When glazing, you need to immediately check very well that all the cracks are foamed.

The dressing room should be warm. Therefore, heating is necessary there. It can be done in different ways. For example, remove the battery from the apartment and connect it to the general heating system. Another option is to provide underfloor heating, heating elements can be laid under the laminate, under the parquet, and under the tiles.

But there are other options as well. For example, use an electric heater or install a split system.

An important stage in arranging a dressing room is electricity.

A couple of outlets in such a room will also not hurt. After all, other objects can be located here. For example, you will need an ironing board, which means an iron, to put things in order. A small seating area can also be located here, so a socket for a floor lamp or table lamp will also come in handy.

Sometimes electrical wiring can be replaced by battery-powered fixtures that are easily attached with Velcro.

Before buying or making furniture, you should draw a plan of where and what will be placed. The balcony most often has a very limited area, so you need to calculate everything very carefully, measure all the spaces in which you have to fit cabinets, shelves, shelves and other pieces of furniture.

Moreover, those that are rarely used can be placed on the upper shelves.

You will also need a wardrobe, where outerwear and suits will be placed on the hangers. It is worth placing shoe racks at the bottom.

From furniture, you can also buy a compact table and a couple of armchairs. These items will come in handy for the recreation area. A long narrow chest with a soft lid can be placed near the window. Convenient place for both seating and storage.

To make a wardrobe on the loggia with your own hands, you need to think over the design of the room.

It should be noted right away that a small room needs to be visually expanded. Therefore, it is better to use light panels, wallpaper or tiles as decoration. Light walls under a brick or stone will look good.

This space is not overloaded with decor. Such elements can be curtains on windows or blinds, flowers on window sills, a beautiful mirror. Let's see how dressing rooms can look like with examples.

• An excellent option for an extensive dressing room. A striking example, when in a rather narrow space, but at the same time, you can place a sufficient number of shelves, drawers and hangers that can accommodate a lot of things. Lighting and a mirror harmoniously complement the room. There was also room for an ironing board.

• White shades make the room lighter and brighter. For a dressing room on the loggia, this is ideal. Shelves, hangers, containers for things are located compactly.

• For some, it is preferable to equip a cozy seating area, creating a truly attractive corner. But there is also room for a small wardrobe. The closet will fit everything you need.

• Very narrow space, but well thought out storage system allows you to accommodate a lot of useful and useful things.
