With the onset of summer, balconies and loggias again acquire special relevance. You can expand their functionality and equip a small lounge area there by putting things in order and organizing comfortable storage.
What steps should be taken to relieve space, the designer said Olesya Berezovskaya.
Cleaning
The first step is to clean up the rubble of things and finally throw away everything unnecessary. Then you need to clean and wash the glass. A magnetic brush will help you, it will allow you to wash windows both from the inside and from the outside without a threat to safety.
In the case of thick glass units or any irregularities, the attraction of the magnets may weaken, but a special safety cord will prevent the second half of the brush from falling.
Storage organization: bike
If you leave your bike on the balcony, you know that it can take up a lot of space. Hang it vertically to make storage more compact.
To do this, you need a bike hook or a special bracket that is attached to the wall. And under it you can place a small beanbag chair.
Winter tires
Sometimes winter tires have to be stored on the balcony. Simply stacking them one on top of the other can result in no reading space or coffee table.
Therefore, it is better to place the rubber under the ceiling. To do this, you need to purchase a special shelf for storing wheels. This way you can save precious square meters.
Drawer shelves
Wooden fruit and vegetable crates can be used as deep shelves. To use them comfortably, it is better to sand and paint the wood beforehand.
Such an unusual building material is also suitable for the manufacture of shelving. Even a beginner can handle the assembly.
Furniture 2 in 1
Narrow end niches on the balcony are well suited for the installation of compact 2-in-1 furniture.
You can equip a bench with a pull-out section or a mini-sofa with storage space. This solution will effectively expand the functionality of the loggia.
We create an atmosphere
In order for the loggia to be perceived as a place not only for additional storage, but also for a relaxed pastime, it is worth taking care of creating a special atmosphere. This function can be easily handled by an LED string.
Also on the balcony you can organize a summer garden of living plants. Hanging pots will help save space.
Optical illusion
The rules for the visual expansion of the premises also apply to the loggias. You can create a truly unique space on the balcony with the help of mirrors.
Use mirrored inserts in the end piece. This technique looks very impressive.
