Small balcony for big solutions! 4 ways to transform it

Happy balcony owners can be divided into two categories. Some stubbornly add on this couple of square meters all the "junk", which is not necessary, but it's a pity to throw it away. Others tirelessly engage in ennobling it, sometimes investing even more effort and money in the balcony than in the arrangement of the adjoining room. And where is the "golden mean"?

Good afternoon dear friends!

That is, when does the balcony become a stylish logical continuation of the living space? Not a cluttered pantry, as in the first case, and not a "pretentious" area with an immense number of pillows, as in the second. Namely, a practical, functional, comfortable space that flows smoothly from the main style of the apartment's interior! Which, due to its location (adjacent to the kitchen), can easily add a couple of square meters to your cookery. In general, today I picked up 4 practical ideas to help you best fit your small balcony.

By the way, do not forget that a balcony is a space that is not included in the technical plan of an apartment (according to Housing Code of the Russian Federation), which means that there is no question of any physical connection of this "territory" to the living quarters can!

1.Bar counter. Namely, a mobile wooden shelf. It will perfectly withstand 2 glasses of a sunny drink for a romantic date, and 5 mugs of “gentlemen's drink” for an evening get-together with friends. And also - breakfast with a cup of invigorating coffee in the morning, a hearty lunch in the afternoon and a light dinner with relaxing tea in the evening! It is quite possible that with such a bar you will forget about the dining area in your kitchen!

A smaller shelf, with a similar fixation system for the railings, can act as a miniature botanical garden. Decorate the balcony and let the plants breathe in a dose of fresh air!

2.Foldable storage box. How about attaching a stylish small wooden box to your balcony railing? The only thing is that it will need to be transformed (to make the bottom hinged), so that by opening the sash, you can use it as a table top for a "table" meal.

Thanks to this solution, you will not only organize the dining area, but also gain some storage space! It remains only to ennoble the balcony with "greenery" so that eating on it becomes a profitable alternative to country picnics.

3.Working space. If your work involves being outside the office, then a small balcony is a great space for organizing a work area on it! You just need to mount a wooden folding table into the wall, which will open during your work.

Fresh air and non-trivial atmosphere will invariably inspire you to new thoughts, ideas and solutions. Turn everyday work into a pleasant but rewarding pastime!

4.Sports area. Has your treadmill been idle in your bedroom or hallway for months? And jumping rope, as it turned out, is dangerous for the nervous system of neighbors from below? No problem! Try converting your miniature balcony into a family fitness center. Decorate the walls with motivating posters or photographs. Hang up a pair of speakers for rhythmic music. And put your body and spirit in order in an environment of natural naturalness!

The only thing, in this case, some still have to seriously "sweat", since it will be necessary to decently spend money and take care of the complete arrangement of a small space - floor, walls and, possibly, even a ceiling (roof). After all, not everyone can train on the street!
