Small Balcony − How to Make It Cozy? (+20 Photos)

It so happened that we do not already attach such great importance to the balcony which it had been given to initially. This unique structure has been invented for the purpose of recreation and enjoyment the scenery and views, which are opened through it in front of an owner who would not like to go out of his dwelling. However, in modern times, a balcony is most often used like a storage room − it keeps fruits and vegetables brought from the garden, bicycles (so as not to store them in an apartment or on a staircase), various tools and other "rubbish" that supposedly cannot find a place in the apartment. And so, if you thoroughly think about, it is very sad because the primary meaning of this structure is simply lost.

Everything else, there is one more commonly encountered problem − a small size of the balconies, which are already "cluttered up" very tight. In this article, we will try to break this trend and offer you the private design variants of small balconies made by their own hands. Moreover, you will see below the photos of these objects and may be used them for your own arrangement.

First of all, let us start with the fact that it seems at first glance does not matter, though it is very important − is your balcony opened or glazed, is it a loggia or a simple balcony? By the way, alternative of the constructions of any such structure is just a lot. In order to make everything as you want, you need to decide for what purpose do you want to create a unique and inimitable design of the small balcony? Do you need to rest here, or, conversely, to work? However, we tell you about all the variants in order.

So, if you are tired of looking at your abandoned balcony and from it wanted to make a place for the real holiday, we recommend doing as follows.

First and foremost, of course, need to get rid of clutter and debris that is to carry out general cleaning of this part of your apartment. Clean it to a perfect shine, and get rid of all the excess. Evaluate of the appearance − whether you want just to make the minor repairs of the balcony, and whether it will lead to changing of the overall appearance of the building facade? Perhaps, you will need somewhere to tint or whitewash walls, leveling the floor or change the floor coating, to foresee all measures to protect from rain and other precipitation. Perhaps, it is necessary there to work with the barrier − remove the old profile sheets of metal or plastic, to paint the iron frame and so on. Therefore, at this stage the problem is reduced to a slight cosmetic or a major overhaul of the small balcony.

Next, it is necessary to conduct the work on the design appearance of the balcony. There are also a lot of design options for the small balcony. Let us dwell on the most popular and simplest − for example, you will need to place a simple chair on the balcony and a table (a round table fits the best), as well as some accessories and other items. If that space allows, you can set two chairs, or even a small chest of drawers or a cupboard. Under the balcony's accessories are meant the carpet runner, pots of flowers (flowers because they need fresh air and a plenty of light that is just perfect in the summer), and other trifles. If there is more the space on the balcony, you can consider the option of the installation of a bed, but as a rule on a small balcony it will not be able to do it.

Some words are about the balcony, which is equipped by a workplace (for example, for spending work time at the computer). All exactly just the same thing, but in this case you only need to fill the balcony by the accessories and items that will be needed for the job. For the rest, the design is complete and its variants will be shown in the photos of the balconies. Therefore, we offer a selection of them on this subject.
