One of the latest trends in interior design is to use the loggia space as a living or working area. Gone are the days when the balcony was associated with a warehouse.
Now we throw out the unnecessary things, and for the overall things we think over the storage places in the dressing rooms and closets. Thus, we get a free room with natural light and a beautiful view.
An important point in the design of a balcony is to define the function of the room, for example, whether it will be a place for eating, eating, reading, sleeping, working. Or will the space combine several functions at once?
There are many ways to make a balcony beautiful, cozy and comfortable. Experts Ekaterina Ershova and Yana Shamova,
the founders of the online service Deconly, will talk about the most relevant of
them, and will also be shown in the drawings, which can be safely embodied in
life.
A round table for two, fresh flowers, croissants and a glass of champagne – sounds like a weekend in France. But what prevents to arrange such a holiday at home? Parisian style metal table and chairs (IKEA, La Redoute), croissants from a nearby bakery and a bouquet from a flower opposite. Voila! Everything you need to get to know the French l’art de vivre – the art of enjoying life. Imagine you get up on Saturday morning, make aromatic coffee and sit down at the table with linen napkins and beautiful glasses. After such a breakfast, your day and mood will be special!
An easy and quick way to renovate a balcony or terrace is to put wood decking on the floor, for example from IKEA. The warm textured surface is pleasant to the touch and makes you feel like walking barefoot. Wicker chairs, jute carpets and baskets, natural candles and macramé panels (H&M Home, Zara Home, La Redoute) will well complement the natural composition. Such a stylistic solution will help create a cozy space where you will be happy to spend your time. Whether it’s a warm summer evening or a weekend morning with tea, pastries and heartfelt conversations.
The balcony is well suited for setting up a home office – a secluded space where you can concentrate and completely immerse yourself in work tasks. A beautiful view outside the window will help you distract and relax during a break. The easiest way to organize a workplace on the loggia is to install a ready-made table against a narrow wall, place several shelves above it. If the balcony is small, then in order to save space, you can choose a folding table, for example, from IKEA.
A wicker swing or a hammock will become a place to attract the attention of not only children, but also adults. Thanks to its calming properties, the swing will help you relax after a busy day. In addition, such a piece of furniture will become a bright accent in the interior. It can be suspended or on a support.
If your home lacks a private corner where you can retire and read a book, then remodeling the balcony would be the perfect solution. To do this, we recommend creating a composition of an upholstered armchair, a decorative pillow, a round coffee table and a large living plant. What better way to immerse yourself in reading your favorite book with a blanket and a cup of fragrant tea?
Another simple and original way to equip a balcony is to assemble a sofa from wooden pallets. You can fill the entire space of the balcony with a structure, then you get one large area for relaxation or even sleep. Covers are made to order according to individual sizes or buy ready-made (IKEA). To complete the look, add different decorative pillows, a large cozy blanket, a glowing garland and a bouquet of dried flowers.
A pair of brightly colored Acapulco chairs will help you create a summer holiday vibe. This simple and comfortable armchair is known all over the world and is considered a furniture design icon. The frame is usually made of strong steel, and the materials of the finish are resistant to sunlight and moisture. The chair is produced in different colors and will harmoniously complement the interior of apartments, terraces and balconies. Therefore, according to the mood from the loggia, the chair can be rearranged into the living room or bedroom.
Basil pasta, thyme tea, homemade mint lemonade – just imagine, all the herbs you need can be grown on your own on your balcony! To do this, you will need: a metal rack, for example from IKEA, a planter, a stylish watering can, a pair of gardening gloves and a good mood. To make a vertical garden, place wooden pallets or slats against the wall and attach pots to them. Several decorative trees such as lemon and orange can be placed on the floor. This solution will fill the space with a fresh citrus scent.
These simple ideas will help you quickly and easily transform your logo into one of your favorite places for relaxation, entertainment or work. It is not at all necessary to make a lot of efforts, to buy expensive furniture or finishes, to give a small space of the logo an up-to-date look. Look for inspiration, try, change! And you will definitely succeed in creating a modern space that will delight and fill with energy.
