Just a few decades ago, the balcony and loggia were extensions to the dwelling, which were used only for drying clothes and storing unnecessary things. A modern look at the arrangement of the balcony space allows you to approach the issue of organization in a new way. If you properly design this room, it has every chance of becoming another room in the home.
Design rules
The balcony and loggia in the original version are extensions to the main dwelling, characterized by an open type of construction. Creating an atmosphere of home comfort in them will be based on the preferences of the owners of apartments (private houses). And you will have to start from the destination, because if you want to make a full-fledged room out of the balcony, you will have to glaze and insulate it. Any reconstruction implies agreement with the regulations.
And it is especially important to do this if you plan to partially combine the balcony with the adjacent room. In this case, most likely, radiators will also have to be transferred, since their removal to the balcony (loggia) is prohibited by established standards.
The atmosphere of comfort will have to be created, starting with the outer skin and ending with the selection of the right furniture.
Given the limited footage, you will have to be guided by the following rules:
- dispense furniture, selecting compact products for installation in specific places;
- abandon massive curtains, curtains and multilayer curtain compositions;
- pay attention to the selection of fixtures for sufficient illumination of the available space;
- correctly place furniture, lighting devices and accessories so that they do not interfere with movement when passing;
- organize the interior through zoning, dividing the space into a recreation area and storage systems;
- select furniture according to the 2 in 1 principle, which will carry several functions at once;
- pick up color solutions taking into account the side of the world on which the windows face;
- collect interior composition in a single stylistic solution;
- choose finishing materials so as not to reduce valuable centimeters of usable area;
- choose a finish with a simple texture, thereby visually unloading the space.
Finishing
Creating the atmosphere of a hearth begins with the right choice of cladding. In this case, it is allowed to make one of the walls accent. brick wall can be ennobled by painting, panel - decorate with wallpaper, plastic panels. When choosing a material, you should avoid large prints and volumetric patterns. This is visually confusing, makes the interior uncomfortable and clumsy. It is fashionable to decorate the walls with plain materials, make the accent part of the wall under the texture of stone or brick.
The simpler the walls, the more expressive the accent, the more visual space and more opportunity for the choice of curtains, as well as furniture.
Ceiling
The ceiling is simply decorated without too much decoration. If its design is complex and multi-level, the ceiling height will seem low, which will make the room visually uncomfortable. If the balcony is closed, you can arrange the ceiling space with a stretch film with a gloss effect. There should be no print on the ceiling.
It is desirable to choose a color white or bleached milky, white-beige. A light ceiling will make it possible to use more saturated colors in the interior of the balcony (loggia). Beams and complex structural ledges are undesirable here.
The only relevant ceiling decor should be lighting fixtures.
Lighting
There are usually few places on the balcony and on the loggia. However, it is lighting that often allows you to bring the right amount of comfort into the space. It shouldn't be massive. Depending on where the functional zones will be located, it can be central and auxiliary. In fact, this is a small wall lamp (wall type, that is, without a suspension) and additional lighting in the area where they spend more time, namely:
- wall type near the sofa or soft podium;
- floor in the form of a floor lamp near an armchair with a narrow high table;
- spot around the entire perimeter of the ceiling to illuminate the entire space;
- ceiling above the table built into the wall;
- as led strip, held all over the ceiling;
- tape, highlighting the wall opposite the window;
- in the form of spots that accentuate a work table with a shelving unit.
Curtains
Curtains are one of the key factors in bringing completeness and the effect of coziness into the interior. In conditions limited space they should not be creeping on the floor, long and heavy. If there is enough space, you can buy a translucent classic (tulle without a pattern, veil) just below the window sill or 4-5 cm short of the floor.
However, if the loggia or balcony is narrow, it is better to take modern-type curtains: blinds, pleated blinds, Roman models and stained glass styles. The texture of the material should be light, complex patterns and lambrequins are excluded. The colors of the curtains should be light: such shades create the effect of spaciousness and homeliness.
Dark colors make the atmosphere festering and heavy.
How to arrange?
Furniture items are selected based on the purpose of the room.
- If this is a greenhouse, you can use the window sill to arrange the plants. You can buy narrow tables here, decorating them with flowers. Flowers look beautiful on the shelves, and such flower beds do not clutter up the space.
- For the recreation area, you can buy a mattress and decorative pillows that can be laid on the podium on one side of the loggia or balcony. They will serve as a sofa back.
- It is desirable to equip the podium with internal drawers. An interior with a podium can become an excellent hookah bar if you complement it with a hookah table. A pouffe table is also suitable, which, if necessary, can be used as a coffee table.
- A seating area can be created from a narrow kitchen bench or a banquette with a sofa design, a soft bench. Given the rule of functionality, furniture should have internal systems storage. To unload the window sill, flowers can be placed on the wall by making a couple of console-type shelves on it.
- You can equip the room with a narrow cabinet up to the ceiling. To make the room seem interesting, you can create a niche, arrange it under the rack, decorating it with built-in LED lighting.
- An interesting idea for using space would be to create a seating area using frameless furniture (for example, a bean bag chair). You can decorate such a recreation area with a floor lamp and a compact table.
Accessories
The choice of add-ons plays an important role. If there is not enough space, it is advisable to avoid the use of panels, paintings or other compositions. However, the figurine on the windowsill, the shelf of the rack will look quite appropriate on the balcony space if the main interior is not overloaded with trifles. You can make the balcony cozy by small photos in a laconic framework, placing them on the wall opposite the recreation area.
The floor can be decorated with a small rug in the form of, for example, an animal, a flower, a soccer ball, a zebra texture, a brick.

In our country, the problem of the old housing stock, obsolete, remains relevant. The so-called Khrushchevs alone make up 10% of Russia's housing stock. And in subsequent eras, a choir for the citizens of the country was not erected. The construction of new houses on the site of the Khrushchevs is far from the pace that was announced by the authorities. There are serious and largely objective reasons for this, but small kitchens, bathrooms, and balconies remain an everyday reality for many families.
Let's talk about what can be done with a small balcony. Of course, it is good to live in a modern spacious apartment with a huge loggia. And even with two. But is everything so tragic if the balcony is small? Until you have another, put your hands on and turn the "ugly duckling"
if not a beautiful swan, then something cozy and comfortable. In the end, rich is not the one who has a lot of money, but the one who has enough of it!
Putting in order
We don’t even start with repairs, we start with an examination of the balcony slab. Without understanding what condition it is in and how much more it will “stretch”, it is dangerous to put a load on the old balcony.
Very important! The main task for you is high-quality insulation and glazing of the balcony. Without completing this task, nothing will work. The possibilities for using an unglazed balcony in our climate are much less.
Start with glazing. You can do the glazing yourself, but it is better to turn to professionals. The technology of glazing small balconies from specialized construction companies has long been worked out, and you can choose the option that suits you. Choose a double-glazed window with a thickness of at least 32 mm.
Some companies offer a glazing option with the removal of frames beyond the perimeter of the balcony slab. The area of the balcony will not decrease even after its insulation.
Do not like plastic windows - order or install yourself wooden frames. Get a great design in the style of "country".
On three sides of the perimeter, your balcony will be insulated with sandwich panels, which the builders will mount during glazing. The ceiling will also be insulated. Material for insulation must be agreed immediately before signing the contract.
You will need to insulate the floor. A proven way is to lay out penofol-type material on a balcony slab. Most a budget option It has foil on one side only. Foil up penofol and unfolds. We lay it end-to-end, glue the seams with aluminum tape.
A frame made of timber is arranged on top of the penofol layer, foam plastic of the required thickness is laid in the cells of the frame.
The top layer of the structure is OSB boards, moisture resistant plywood or batten. Floor covering of your choice. Ideal floor insulation will be obtained when using a film underfloor heating. A warm floor of this type is laid out according to the instructions directly on plywood or OSB board, contacts are connected, covered with a plastic film or underlay to protect against damage when laying the flooring, and it can be laminated.
Ideas for decoration
After glazing and insulation, your balcony has turned into a small loggia. It's time to live it up. There is not a lot of space, every centimeter must be used rationally, but its appearance is already pleasing!
Advice. hang on balcony windows blinds, preferably horizontal. So you can use the balcony at any time of the day, covering the blinds in the bright sun or at night from prying eyes.
Greenhouse
For flower lovers, we are turning the renovated balcony into a charming greenhouse. Agree with a company that makes glazing on the installation of a wide window sill. In addition, ask to make mortgages from timber in the side deaf plastic panels. Then you can hang planters and shelves for pots with plants and various cute knick-knacks on the side walls. The photo below shows an interesting idea for placing shelves at 45°.
Blinds will close your pets from direct sunlight.
Tired of the whites plastic panels? Look at the options for decorating with plastic and panels under a natural stone. Even moss grows on old masonry! And the load on balcony slab practically does not increase. Today on the market you can buy finishing materials that will turn your idea of the possibilities of the same plastic in the design of the room.
Part outer wall the house, which turned out to be "inside" the glazed balcony, is finished in accordance with the general design of the greenhouse. In this case, you do not have to worry about the weight of the wall covering (tile, stone, decorative plaster).
Rest zone
The main problem when designing a recreation area on a small balcony will be the size of the furniture. Can't pick up items right size? Make them with your own hands. Like this comfortable ottoman for relaxing. Two sheets of plywood are laid on the posts of timber. Calculate the height so that two drawers for storage or a drawer with a pull-out table. We throw a mattress with pillows on the plywood, and a wonderful place to relax and sleep is ready.
A simpler option is almost "eastern". Spread pillows on the floor and relax.
Instead of an ottoman, you can assemble a small bench. Make the seat folding, you get a box for storing all sorts of things. And to make it softer to sit, we upholster the back and seat with soft material.
Don't forget about design tricks visual expansion of space. Use in decoration light colors, enlivening the design with bright splashes of color. Don't like the view from your window? We make the side walls deaf and glue beautiful photo wallpapers on one of them.
Why don't we have a cup of coffee?
Placing a recreation area on a small balcony, it is easy to arrange a place where you can enjoy a cup of coffee. For this you need only a folding table. A diagram of how to make such a table with your own hands, and a few photos are given below.
