Don’t listen to your family’s advice! I insisted on making 5 designs for the balcony. After moving in, the threshold was trampled by neighbors.

New home decoration will inevitably lead to some disagreements with family members. After all, everyone has different understandings and expectations of home. Some people prefer practicality, while others prefer aesthetics.

However, for some serious people, even if their family members try to dissuade them, they will still stick to their own ideas. Of course, this does not mean \”rolling over\”.

In this issue, I will share 5 balcony designs that you must do even if you don’t listen to your family’s dissuasion. Please quickly refer to your own situation. Just give it a try.

1. Sealing the balcony with sliding doors

The first step in decoration is to seal the balcony, but for those who pursue a sense of transparency It seems that it would be better to leave the balcony unsealed, although there will be problems with rain and dust.

Netizen @zhou大哥:

My daughter-in-law likes the open balcony. But I was worried about safety issues, so after careful consideration, I chose the sliding door to seal the balcony. Both parties are satisfied with whether it can be opened or closed.

How to seal the balcony with a sliding door? In fact, the most economical way is to remove the sliding door from the balcony and then combine it with the actual situation. The size is processed twice.

For example, lay red bricks on both sides and bottom of the sliding door to correct the size difference of the sliding door; another example is to re-customize a sliding door. Doors and tracks solve the problem of insufficient sliding door size.

If the size of the sliding door is too different from that of the balcony, there is no need to move it out, and it will be more worry-free to customize it again.

However, there are a few small details that require special attention during installation:

2. Paint the wall with latex paint

As the sunniest place in the home In the traditional concept of a good space, the balcony walls should be covered with ceramic tiles to avoid problems such as moisture and cracking.

However, with the popularity of integrating the living room and balcony, more and more families choose to paint their balconies with latex paint.

Netizen @仙儿:

At first I decided to give the balcony wall My husband still disagrees with the latex paint, saying that it will crack and peel in the future. Now that we have moved in, it has been more than a year, and he has stopped talking.

So what are the benefits of painting the balcony with latex paint?

1 ) When the balcony is incorporated into the living room, the overall sense of the space will be stronger and more continuous.

2) The construction cost is relatively low, which is considered a cost-effective approach.

3) Later repair is relatively simple and you can do it yourself.

However, if you decide to paint the balcony with latex paint, the balcony must be sealed to avoid the problem of rain and moisture.

3. The balcony is divided into two

The current house types are basically double balcony structures, that is, outside the second bedroom There is also a balcony, which is connected to the balcony of the living room and is very long and narrow.

The larger balcony area can certainly provide more comfortable enjoyment, but it also indirectly causes waste, so for the \”practical party\” \”For this reason, dividing it into two is more practical.

(A mini program has been added here, please go to Toutiao client to view)

①Laundry room

The most common solution is to use a glass door partition to seal it, and then turn the second bedroom balcony into an independent laundry room.

Firstly, it retains the permeability of the space, and secondly, it blocks the mess when drying clothes, leaving two functional areas Do not interfere with each other

②Recreation area

What if you want an open balcony but are worried about rain and dust? You can also use the method of dividing it into two to create an open leisure area

However, if you have children and pets at home, it is still recommended to install a protective net on the outdoor balcony. After all, safety is the top priority. Big deal.

③Study area

If the second bedroom is to be used as a children’s room, ThatYou can use half wall + half glass partition to create an independent study area.

Firstly, it expands the use area of ​​​​the children\’s room. Secondly, it does not affect the transparency and lighting, and can be passed through the curtains. Increase privacy.

Four. Side-mounted clothes drying rack

There is only one balcony at home In most cases, the washing and drying function is generally the main one. After all, this is the most basic need in life.

However, as mentioned above, drying clothes on the balcony will inevitably cause some mess, so more and more families are choosing side-mounted clothes drying racks.

Netizen @王十一:

The walls on both sides of my balcony The stacks cannot be dismantled, but it is convenient for me to design a side-mounted clothes drying rack, so that the clothes drying on the balcony cannot be seen in the living room.

In addition, at first I was worried that there was not enough room for drying clothes on the side, so I installed a telescopic clothes drying rack on the top of the balcony. Only later did I realize that this was completely It is superfluous and is basically never used except for drying sheets.

5. 1㎡ storage area

For \”pragmatic\” people, no matter how many cabinets they have at home, they feel that they are not enough, so they will use the balcony to design a \”1㎡ storage area\” to expand the storage capacity.

There are two common design methods, as follows:

1 ) Storage cabinets: Design a set of storage cabinets with a depth greater than 45cm on one side of the balcony, and set aside a long shelf to facilitate storage of cleaning tools, stools, electric fans and other large items.

In addition, installing a perforated board on the back of the long grid can further expand the storage. Finally, don’t forget to reserve sockets. Cancel the base plate.

2) Air-conditioning unit: If the wall of the air-conditioning unit can be knocked down and the property permits, the space here can also be fully utilized

For example, build a half wall + sliding windows, put the air conditioner below, and separate it with a stainless steel plate in the middle. The space above can be reused.

For another example, if a central air conditioner is installed at home, the air conditioner space on the balcony can be used independently, whether for washing, drying or placing Miscellaneous items are useful.
