Free Territory: Why you should not add a balcony to the room
The idea to increase the area of the room due to the “street meters” looks tempting. But should we hurry? We are not even talking about the difficulties of agreeing on such a redevelopment - it is not always legal in Moscow and is still allowed in other provinces. We offer to look at the question of redevelopment from the other side: a separate balcony or loggia can serve you well in itself. Most likely, you have already considered the balcony as an office, storage room and drying room. It's time to use fantasy.
Glamour Nest Bedroom
A glazed loggia, separated from the main room by a door, is almost a full bedroom, albeit a very small one. But even in such a compact space will fit a couch or single bed. A magnificent view from the window, fresh air, optimal coolness for sleep - what the doctor prescribed. A reasonable way out for a large family with an adult and a small child: so that one does not prevent the other from falling asleep under “Good Night, Kids”, and the second – calmly watching “Game of Thrones” until midnight, you need to settle down. With this solution for the balcony now there is a place to go.

If Grandma is constantly watching movies and shows, and you would like to watch the semifinals of a football match, let Grandma stay inside the house, and you move to the balcony.
By the way, the option to arrange a cinema outside is ideal for those who live in a one-room apartment, but do not want to put a TV in the kitchen. Even if one of the household members has already gone to bed, the noise of the TV with the door closed on the balcony is unlikely to wake him up.
Studio Enjoy Home Personal library
It is enough to change the TV to a bookcase (or simply add them to the interior of the balcony), and a real reading room is ready - just look at the photo. Here you can hide from everyone and completely immerse yourself in the world of reading – unlike the “internal” library, the reading room on the balcony will allow you to literally ventilate your head. However, if you are going to use the library in the winter, do not forget to take care of insulation.
Most importantly, take care of high-quality lighting and a comfortable chair. And better yet, of course, beautiful.
Vanillawood Office
A great option for those who work a lot from home, but in the apartment there is no possibility to allocate a separate work area. Or for those who need a place to paint, sculpt or embroidery with a cross. Equip a mini-office or workshop on the loggia - there will fit a table, a work chair, a pair of shelves and a cabinet. Due to the fact that the space is isolated from the rest of the apartment, you can quietly work in silence, without being distracted by other things, as in a separate office. Not a bad design option - in the photo.
Council: Install blinds or roller shutters or hang curtains to avoid glare from the sun on the monitor.
garden You can do gardening without leaving the city apartment. On the balcony there is enough space and light for a compact garden, the design of which you can make with your own hands. Spicy herbs, salads and fruit and vegetable crops on an open balcony can be grown while it is warm. And if the balcony is glazed, at least all year round.
In addition, in the winter season, the balcony can serve as an additional refrigerator: it is convenient to store not only all pickles and jams, but also olives not eaten during the long New Year holidays.
Extra bathroom It turns out that in some, albeit very rare, cases, not a dream, but a reality. In some new homes, it is really possible to install a mini-pool on the balcony, of course, observing a number of safety conditions - from the permissible weight to finishing.
It is easier to place a mini-sauna on the loggia. However, due to the difficulties with water supply and sewerage, only paired procedures will be available.

Cooking on an open fire on the balcony is impossible, but you can use an electric grill.
However, any meal in the fresh air is perceived as a picnic. Even if it's the most banal breakfast. Owners of open balconies should take advantage of this in the summer.
CM Natural Designs The gym
Buy a subscription to the gym or free the balcony from junk and arrange a personal sports ground. In a small area will fit and treadmill, and exercise bike.
Adherents of yoga and just lovers of morning gymnastics and even less need - a sports mat is usually more than enough. And dumbbells and weights almost do not take up space.
J.A. Smith Construction & Design Studio Dressing dreams
When there is no room in the apartment, and you dream about a dressing room for more than a year, a balcony will come to the rescue. A couple of closets along the walls, several open shelves and a small toilet table in front of the window - and now the morning fees have become much more pleasant.
Council: Consider additional lighting adjacent to the balcony room, because, most likely, there will be less natural light.
Susan Diana Harris Interior Design Mini bar with a view
To arrange a mini-bar on the balcony, you do not need much: a locker or a small refrigerator for drinks, shelves for glasses and a pair of chairs.
You can set up a bar table. For example, mount it directly on one of the walls – there are compact folding options that become “invisible” when they are not needed. P.S. And remember, just changing our consumption – together we change the world!
