An apartment with a large balcony or loggia allows you to realize a variety of interesting ideas. It all depends on where the balcony is located (in the hall, bedroom, nursery or kitchen) and how insulated it is. On a warm glazed balcony, the number of options for creating different zones increases dramatically.

When all these works are completed, you can think about what kind of zone to arrange there.

• Library... A great place to spend time with a book. And for this you need to install shelves for books, a comfortable sofa or armchairs, a table. A soft carpet on the floor and a floor lamp add even more coziness to the room.

• Cabinet... A good option to retire and work quietly. The large balcony can accommodate a desk, a comfortable chair, and shelves for the necessary books and documents.

• Rest zone... If the balcony is located in the hall, then it would be a good option on the balcony to simply equip a recreation area where you can drink coffee in the morning or arrange friendly gatherings.

• Mini garden... Often flower lovers arrange a green corner on the balcony, and this is also very beautiful. And avid summer residents, even all year round, manage to grow greens and vegetables on large balcony spaces.

• Mini gym... A great opportunity to exercise or do yoga, pedal a stationary bike or swing a press, while breathing fresh air. A good option for playing sports at home.

• Dinner Zone. When the balcony is located in the kitchen, you can take out the dining area there, while saving space in the kitchen itself. And on the balcony it will be very comfortable for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

• Sleeping place... A small bed can also be placed on a warm balcony, creating a cozy room, for example, for guests. In the summer, any of the family members will gladly use this option for a bedroom.

• Pets' corner... The idea of ​​putting pets there is no worse. Our smaller brothers also live in almost every family where children are present. And there are many options. These can be mice and hamsters, hedgehogs and turtles, rabbits and guinea pigs, birds and fish. Children will definitely be happy with this place.

• Storage space... It often happens that the apartment does not have enough space for many items, and then the balcony acts as a storage room. But this does not mean that chaos will reign there. Convenient cabinets, shelves, racks, containers, boxes will help you put everything in its place and observe only perfect order here.

Ideas for interior decoration will depend on which room is planned to be located on the balcony.

Minimalism is fine for a gym or office. There will be enough things that fulfill their functions. Excessive decor and decorations are definitely useless here. Instead of curtains, it is better to provide blinds.

On the balcony, in addition to the main furniture, decor may be present, but in a small amount... A plant, an original lamp, interesting curtains will be enough. The main thing is that all this should look harmonious in the common space. On a warm balcony there is a place for beautiful textiles that will look appropriate in certain situations. Pillows, blankets can decorate a sofa, rocking chair, sofa.

It's actually very easy to choose furniture. It is chosen based on what exactly is planned to be organized on the balcony. If there is a library, then you cannot do without shelves or shelves. And you also need a comfortable place for reading in the form of an armchair, for example, or a sofa.

When arranging a mini-dining room, a table and chairs will clearly be needed, as an addition, cupboards for storing dishes, kitchen towels and other necessary things are suitable.

Furniture is purchased based on the chosen style... If this is a loft, preference should be given to strict forms and monochromatic models. Focusing on Provence, you can pay attention to carved and wicker options. For country, simple and even aged things are suitable. In Japanese style, just a low table, mats and lanterns are enough.

The fact that the balcony can be decorated in different ways is eloquently indicated by the examples of the photo gallery.

• It looks very simple, but very stylish. Well-chosen lighting makes this place extremely attractive in the evening. You can drink tea and admire the panorama of the city. The perfect place for a romantic date.

• Due to the panoramic windows, the balcony looks soaring in space. Black and white tones are skillfully diluted with a bright orange accent. A gray sofa and pillows with the same shades look perfect.

• A cute balcony with a round cozy sofa looks very picturesque due to the abundance of flowers. A pleasant place to relax, socialize and read.

• On this balcony, the design was carefully thought out based on natural motives. Brick, stones, green plants tune in to peace and harmony. There is nothing superfluous in the design.
