Arrangement of a nursery on the balcony

Setting up a nursery on the balcony is very attractive, but it must be done very carefully. The playroom for children on the loggia is always thought out to the smallest detail - it doesn't matter whether it is a modern children's area with a bed or some other option. The design of the playground on the balcony is a matter of separate concern, and it will also be discussed.

The attractiveness of arranging a nursery on the balcony is associated with saving space in the apartment. However, not everything is so simple - even within the usual residential part of the premises, high demands are made on safety and ergonomics. For loggias, they rise to an even higher level. You definitely need:

• inspect supporting structures;
• overhaul them as necessary;
• carefully calculate the maximum load (with a margin);
• qualitatively close all seams and cracks, remove other defects;
• install solid, proven double-glazed windows with energy-saving solutions;
• achieve the same level of insolation as in a regular nursery;
• use exclusively fire and sanitary materials;
• scrupulously think over the layout;
• think about how all this will be used in a year, two, three and beyond.

Thermal insulation materials are attached from the outside. This is more reliable from a technical point of view, and takes up less space inside. It may sometimes be necessary to hire installers and even industrial climbers, but the result is worth it. It is best to use polystyrene or its modernized analogue - penoplex. If the task is to additionally strengthen the thermal protection of the ceiling and walls inside, mineral wool slabs are suitable.

And also create additional insulation. For this purpose, use:

• polyurethane foam (covering defects inside);
• special sealants for external treatment;
• dense film with a waterproofing effect;
• vapor trapping membranes.

Often the walls on the balcony have to be leveled. GCR sheets help a lot with this. An alternative to their use is the use of lining of various sections. But we must not forget about PVC panels - they also perform well. Given that the popularity of the Scandinavian style remains, wood and other natural materials remain in demand.

As more and more parents are interested in the early intellectual development of their babies, lettering may be to their taste. The decor is also often made from natural materials. The use of textile jewelry is becoming more and more attractive. To make them even more elegant, they use various prints.

From floor coverings, many experts advise to give preference to cork. It is safe, comfortable and aesthetic at the same time. When it comes to ease of use, there are almost no equal eco-friendly varieties of linoleum. It can be laid without seams, which is very convenient. When choosing a specific option, it is useful to go to the store on your own, and not order building materials via the Internet in order to personally touch the products.

Of course, a whitewashed ceiling is out of the question. The only exception is the Provence style. In this version, it is supplemented with wooden beams. In all other cases, you need to focus on modern stretch ceilings. Original prints can be printed on the canvas.

The choice of ideas is almost unlimited.However, there are still some basic requirements that must be met. Whites, saturated grays and other overly light tones are hardly acceptable. They create a downright boring impression. But the gray-pink color fits into a variety of interiors, including modern children's rooms.

The traditional idea that children can only be decorated in blue or pink, depending on who will play there, is nonsense. There are a huge number of other options, sometimes very original looking - you just need to think a little. Balconies and loggias are predominantly narrow, and therefore design moves should be thought out with the expectation of overcoming this visual problem.

Wall murals, "funny" drawings and the like can enchant young children. But it's better to come up with something with a long-range scope that will inspire even in adolescence. Then you won't have to do a new major overhaul every 2-3 years. Very bright colors should also be excluded. They have a negative emotional effect, because such decisions are acceptable only for adults.

Color solutions should be "in antiphase" to the character and temperament of the children. Simply put, those who are very active should be reassured, and those who are phlegmatic should be encouraged and stimulated. Regardless of the chosen color, you must definitely prefer natural shades.

So, among the options for green, it is advised to use:

• olive;
• khaki;
• mossy;
• mustard green.

Almost all children are romantic, and therefore you can try the marine style. We are not talking about formulaic whites and blues, there are much more interesting options. For example, you can play up the theme by combining yellow "sand" and blue water. But you can also remember the green waves of the sea. And also good additions then will be:

• lifebuoys;
• reproductions of paintings by prominent marine painters;
• photographs of famous ships, sailors and admirals;
• photowall-paper with sea animals and coastal landscapes.

Another facet of romance is revealed in the cosmic style. It is not necessary to use plots with a starry sky and the Sun, including stylized ones - this is flat and trite already. Reconstructions of nebulae, photographs of distant galaxies are suitable. Photos (and even models!) Of spaceships and launch vehicles, pictures of spacesuits and significant events in the conquest of extraterrestrial space are also good. Welcomed:

• rich black;
• silver-steel;
• White;
• all shades of blue and light blue.

You can also show originality in the children's English style. Its main colors are ocher and beige. Brown and terracotta are also appropriate. It is advisable to use natural wood and other traditional materials. Accentuation of certain areas is achieved with the help of decorative bricks.

A simple playroom for children on the loggia is very boring and non-functional. Even the most active children will get tired and paused when playing. It is useful if they do not have to go to other rooms at this moment.

In addition to the corner for the games itself, it is worth highlighting the area with the bed. Even toddlers, not to mention adolescents, appreciate this kind of autonomy, when they can spend almost the whole day in their personal area, without crossing over or disturbing anyone.

But it is also undesirable to chase after a large amount of furniture, to use its heavy models. Often this overloads the balcony and even the supporting structures of the building. But even in the smallest room, however, there should be:

• sleeping place;
• table;
• cupboard;
• chairs.

The use of modular (multifunctional) furniture is encouraged. But when choosing such kits, it is necessary to check that all functions are actually performed, and not just declared. Given the maximum individuality of children's rooms, it is necessary to order furniture sets, and not buy ready-made items. It is very good if the bed contains boxes where you can put something, relieving the space. The corner is equipped with a cabinet with external shelves.

Active and cheerful children will only be happy if they are offered a Swedish wall. Instead of a desktop, you can use a part of the window sill. Chairs should be adjusted in height according to the height of those who sit behind them.
