How beautiful and practical to beat the iron railings on the balcony? 6 ideas to follow
When purchasing an apartment on the secondary housing market, undoubtedly, you will come across many nuances - constructive solutions which you will no longer find in new houses. For example, with metal railings on the balcony. They must be there, but at the same time, the fences spoil the view of the apartment, and not only outside, but also inside. For most of them look unsightly, and sometimes even ugly.
Good afternoon dear friends!
So some new owners have to endure and "enjoy" looking at their unpresentable appearance. And others look for options for a way out of this situation: cut the railing and completely glaze the balcony. Strengthen the fence, sheathe it, and only then partially glaze, etc. But keep in mind that similar solutions for arranging a balcony in old houses are not useful, and can negatively affect the integrity playgrounds. Therefore, I propose to do otherwise!
AND to beat the unsightly railings in an original way, without spending a lot of money, time and effort
. By the way, the ideas below are suitable for both newcomers and those who rents housing, but always strive to comfortably equip every corner of their apartment.1.Water-repellent textiles. Probably the simplest solution that can help you not only hide the unsightly railings, but generally make the balcony quite a cozy place. Outdoor fabric easily withstands temperature changes and retains a decent appearance for a long time. You only need to make a large rectangular canvas with ties or loops. Which will become a decorative "covering" for your balcony.
The fabric should cover the entire perimeter of the balcony fence, ensuring your privacy. And if it gets dirty over time, then the textiles can be removed and washed in the washing machine.
2.Bohemian fencing. You can remove the ugly metal railings out of sight using wicker fences made of bamboo, vines, reeds or rattan. But, unfortunately, natural materials will not last long. Under the influence of moisture, they will one way or another begin to collapse. Therefore, it may be better to look in stores for a "braid" made of artificial materials.
And to complete the exposition and finally warm up the atmosphere on your balcony, I suggest adding furniture and accessories with an ethnic touch.
3.Curtain decor. Why not surprise everyone and hang curtains on the balcony? You are for! Then we proceed without delay to fix them to the neighbor's balcony from above or to the visor using ordinary wire or curtains familiar to everyone. At your request, the textiles can be straightened, creating an additional shadow in the room, or beautifully laid in folds, fastening with magnetic grabs (ordinary strings).
But keep in mind that curtains will accumulate dust and dirt and will require washing and maintenance over time. Therefore, it is best to use a water-repellent fabric that will transfer all adversity to the URA. Well, or, in extreme cases, an inexpensive one, with which you will part without regrets in case of severe pollution.
4.A minimalistic touch. Want to divert attention from the metal fence and quickly decorate your balcony? Easily! Take an electric garland and attach it to the railing. And it doesn't matter what the garland will be, in the form of a straight thread, mesh or curtain. The main thing is that it is street performance. The room, alas, will quickly fail.
Of course, such a solution will not allow you to create a secluded corner on the balcony. But you did not set such a goal for yourself!
5.DIY stand. How would you like to close the fence with a hanging garden of home flowers next summer? Positively! Then already now you can make a homemade stand from a pair of boards and a rope or purchase several special vertical pots in advance. But don't forget about the size of the balcony. A hanging garden that is too large will significantly reduce its usable area. So don't overdo it!
By the way, if you don't have enough indoor flowers, then I suggest planting garden greens in pots. You will get both decoration and addition to the dining table.
6.Snag decoration. And finally, I will tell you a free, extremely unusual decoration for a balcony fence. So, to make it you will need dry branches and wire, twine or plastic clamps. And then everything is simple! Cut the branches to the length you need and use fasteners to fix them to the railing in one or two rows. That, in fact, is EVERYTHING!
This decor will hide the railings, provide you with a sufficient degree of privacy and 100% give the balcony an unusual individual touch.
