Some time ago, a friend was planning to buy a house and was interested in an old house. The location, size and price were all suitable, but in the end he still couldn\’t decide. , the reason is that the house does not have a balcony. \”I absolutely cannot accept the lack of a balcony. It feels very depressing to live there.\”
The balcony is like a breathable window in the house, looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window , feel the sound of wind and rain, and give life a little space for leisure and relaxation; for home design, the balcony is also a space with unlimited possibilities.
Balcony type:
To plan your balcony, let’s first take a look at what you need to pay attention to for various types of balconies; there are three main types of balconies: concave balconies, convex balconies, and composite balconies.
1. Concave balcony
Concave balcony, that is, the balcony is flush with the load-bearing structure and is within the main structure of the house.
● Advantages: good load-bearing capacity and high safety
● Disadvantages: The lighting and view are not as good as other types of balconies, and the price is calculated based on the balcony area.
2. Projection balcony
Contrary to the concave balcony, the convex balcony is completely outside the load-bearing structure of the house.
● Advantages: There are windows on three sides, so the lighting is relatively better; and there is a convex balcony They are all free areas and cost nothing.
● Disadvantages: Limited load-bearing capacity.
3. Composite balcony
Compound balcony, half of the balcony is outside the load-bearing structure and half is inside.
The advantages and disadvantages are between the two balconies; yes, the price when buying a house is only Count as half.
In general, when planning these three types of balconies,
● For concave balconies, pay attention to indoor lighting;
● Pay attention to load-bearing on convex balconies and do not place too heavy furniture;
● For composite balconies, both should be considered.
According to the type of your balcony, just pay attention to it when designing. Next, let’s talk about the diverse designs of balconies.
From the living balcony to the leisure balcony, let’s talk about them one by one.
1. Drying + storage balcony
Considering practicality, the balcony is the most popular choice for drying. Considering this function, it is recommended to add storage on both sides to improve space utilization and can be used as a housekeeping room.
△ Cabinets on both sides
Design notes:
● The concave balcony is most suitable for cabinets on both sides, with a laundry cabinet on one side with a depth of about 60cm and a storage cabinet on one side with a depth of about 45-60cm.
● If it is a convex balcony or a composite balcony, when planning the cabinet, you must consider the light shading problem, and you can choose a low cabinet , or customize the L-shaped cabinet.
2. Garden balcony
For those who love to grow flowers and plants, the garden balcony is the first choice.

It is not difficult to create a garden balcony. Put up a flower stand + potted plants, and plan a fence on the wall to enhance the overall appearance. If you want to look better at night, many friends also arrange ambient lights↓↓↓

Be careful when designing. If the balcony window is not sealed, the power interface of the lamp must not leak out to prevent leakage, fire, etc.; and do not be cheap on the ambient lights and buy them as much as possible. Better quality. Appearance is very important, safety comes first!
3. Balcony + tables and chairs
△Single seat
△small sofa
With a single sofa, a seat, and a small side table, the balcony becomes a private leisure space where you can read, drink afternoon tea, and have a solo dinner… .Blissful.
4. Restaurant balcony
I saw a blogger on the Internet eating barbecue while enjoying the night breeze on the balcony, and received 2 million+ likes. I knew that some people would definitely like the balcony restaurant.
△Double Seat
△Balcony Restaurant
Design strategy:
① Can be connected to the living room, planning dining table + seats chairs, completely turning the balcony into a restaurant.
② If you only eat on the balcony occasionally and there are not many people, you canPurchase a double small table and chairs.
However, there was a news last time. A netizen was having a BBQ on the balcony and was complained by the neighbor upstairs about the smell of oil smoke. got her clothes.
So, reasonable design and moderate barbecue.
5. Floor balcony
If you want the freedom and leisure feeling of sitting on the floor, change the balcony to a floor.
Design suggestions:
① It is recommended to choose wood as the floor material. The height can be 15-20cm. Furniture such as tatami tables and chairs, lazy sofas, small bookshelves and other furniture can be planned on it.
It is recommended that ② be connected to the living room and used as an auxiliary leisure area in the living room. Otherwise, it will be too closed and feel depressing.
③The balcony windows must be waterproofed, otherwise the platform will be destroyed when it rains.
6 , balcony study
For those who want a study but can\’t get it, the balcony is a good choice! Transform the balcony into a study, with good lighting and enough space.

Balcony design desk + bookcase, a simple study room\’s finished.
● When buying a finished desk, choose a height of around 75cm, but the fit may not be very high.
● You can choose to customize the desk, which is designed according to the size and height of the balcony, allowing for higher space utilization.
● It is recommended to have a balcony + gauze curtains or blinds, and do not read in direct sunlight.
7. One balcony for dual purposes
For some very large balconies, they can be divided into two and made into two arrangements.
In the case of Feimojia [Huichuang Junbo], the balcony Divided into two, one side is included in the living room, and the remaining space is independent for dryingarea use.
8. Incorporate indoors
Design strategy:
① If there is a non-load-bearing wall between the balcony and the living room, it is recommended to open it all and directly expand the living room area.
② If there is a non-load-bearing wall between the balcony and the living room, the sliding door can be removed, which can also effectively improve the indoor lighting and ventilation effect.
Many friends are opposed to opening up the balcony to the living room. They think that even if the balcony is sealed, doors must be installed, otherwise there will be strong winds and Heavy rain and various conditions are definitely not good for indoors. But speaking from my own living experience, I can count on two hands the number of times the balcony door has been closed after I have been here for seven or eight years. …and among the few experiences of closing doors, I once bumped into someone while walking…
The balcony was blocked in this way and that If you have planned other uses, what should you do if you want to dry clothes? It must be of concern to many friends.
1. The dryer replaces traditional drying
2. Balcony dual-function design
However, we often see opposition to drying on the Internet Machine comments.
\”What to do with clothes that cannot be dried? The dryer cannot replace drying! ”
\”Although, I just like the smell of sunshine.\” ”
…
△Dryer + auxiliary drying area
When you encounter clothes that cannot be dried, you can use the auxiliary drying area, and usually use a dryer instead. But to be honest, most of them are not suitable for drying. Clothes are not suitable for washing either.
3. Housekeeping room design
You can use other spaces in the home to design a housekeeping room, such as planning a simple housekeeping room in the bathroom.
4. Multiple balconies
Of course, there are many apartment types now with multiple places to dry clothes.
● There is a balcony in the north and south, and there is always a balcony to dry clothes
● It is a duplex with a terrace on the top floor, which can be used to dry clothes.
