Question two: How should the balcony be transformed?

Got it whether to enclose the windows or not? So how exactly should the balcony be set up to be more practical and reasonable? The editor has prepared 5 balcony design plans for everyone.

Turn the balcony into a tatami

Designing a tatami on the balcony can be called one of the hottest balcony designs at present. A liftable table is designed on the tatami, which can provide convenience for drinking tea, reading and chatting. At the same time, storage drawers and storage cabinets can also be designed under the tatami to meet the storage needs of the room.

Turn the balcony into a bedroom or living room

You can arrange the inner balcony just like a living room, laying down a rug and placing a beanbag sofa.

If a small apartment doesn't have enough space, turning it into a single bedroom also works perfectly.

Turn the balcony into a study

Many homes don't have an independent study, so you can consider incorporating the balcony into the living room and using the balcony to make a study. Enclose it with a glass door or curtains, and make simple built-in bookshelves and a desk on one side of the balcony to turn it into a simple and practical small study.

Turn the balcony into a bar counter

To create a better home atmosphere, the balcony can be designed as a small bar counter. Inviting friends over here to chat is also excellent.

Balcony turned into a leisure and entertainment area

Turning the balcony into a leisure area can be done completely according to your own preferences, with no major restrictions; design it however you like.

Turn the balcony into a garden

Arrange green plants, potted flowers, wooden tables and chairs one by one to create the look of an exquisite flower room. If the balcony area is not enough, creating a small bonsai in a corner of the wall is also very nice.

Question three: How should the balcony be decorated to look good?

Besides the several transformation methods above, if you plan to make the balcony into a leisure-style one, the following transformation tools can greatly change your original balcony.

Small patterned tile flooring

If you think ordinary tiles are mediocre and want a bit more mood, you may even need to choose a different pattern for the floor tiles. For example, small patterned tiles; search the keyword "retro patterned tiles" on a certain e-commerce platform and you can find many.

There is also a kind of antique-style culture brick imitating stone that is equally worth recommending; laid on the balcony, it has a flavor of returning to nature.

Anticorrosive wood

The use of anticorrosive wood is a bit more widespread than floor tiles; after all, you don't need to hire a professional worker and can do it yourself. Whether your new home's balcony has not been dealt with yet, or your old house wants to be transformed to be more beautiful, anticorrosive wood can basically help you solve the problem.

Moreover, it easily helps you achieve the beautiful effect of online pictures.

For example, the one below is a buyer's show from a certain e-commerce platform; after laying it, doesn't it instantly feel much cozier?

Small stones

These small stones can be considered the finishing touch of the balcony; whether you use floor tiles or anticorrosive wood, matching them with small stones makes it easier to create the effect of a small garden.

Moreover, this kind of small stone has large gaps and good water permeability; when growing flowers and watering them, you don't need to worry about water flooding everywhere, as the water will leak through the stone gaps into the floor drain.

Hangnet and wooden fence

Hanging net can also decorate the wall and can also hang various gardening tools; in addition, a wooden fence is also a good choice, blocking the wall while elevating the style.

No matter how small the house is, as long as it is designed with care, it can rival a large mansion~
