As an important space in home life, the balcony carries our yearning and expectation for a better life. However, in the process of balcony renovation, we are often prone to fall into some misunderstandings, resulting in unsatisfactory renovation results. Today, let's talk about the "first-class" principle of balcony renovation to help you create a comfortable and practical balcony space.
1. Don't blindly follow the trend and install oversized floor-to-ceiling windows
In recent years, oversized floor-to-ceiling windows have become a popular element in the home design world, and many people have followed suit and transformed balconies into large-area glass windows. However, this design is not suitable for all homes.
Floor-to-ceiling windows allow plenty of natural light and a wide view, but at the same time there are some drawbacks.
Large glass windows tend to cause high indoor temperatures in the summer, while heat loss can cause heat loss in the winter, making it difficult to maintain the indoor temperature.
Oversized floor-to-ceiling windows have less privacy and can easily make occupants feel uneasy. In addition, the cost of installing and maintaining oversized floor-to-ceiling windows is relatively high.
Recommendations:In the process of balcony renovation, we should choose whether to install oversized floor-to-ceiling windows according to our actual situation and needs. If there is already enough daylight and vision in the home, or there is a high demand for privacy, then blindly following the trend of installing oversized floor-to-ceiling windows is obviously an unwise choice.
2. Do not install wooden cabinets on the balcony at will
As a space connecting indoor and outdoor, balconies often have to face the test of wind, sun and rain. Therefore, when choosing balcony furniture, we need to pay special attention to the choice of materials. Although wooden cabinets have a warm and natural look and feel, they are prone to moisture, mold, deformation and even cracking on the balcony.
To avoid these problems,We can choose some more durable and stable materials to create balcony cabinets. For example, aluminum alloy, stainless steel and other materials have good waterproof, moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant properties, and can better adapt to the balcony environment. At the same time, these materials are also lightweight and easy to clean, which can bring more convenience to our balcony life.
3. Don't easily install a mop pool on the balcony
In the past, balcony-mounted mop pools were the choice of many families. However, with the change of lifestyle and the advancement of cleaning tools, the frequency of use of the mop pool has gradually decreased, and it has even become an ornament.
Installing a mop pool on your balcony not only takes up valuable space, but it can also affect the overall aesthetics of your balcony. At the same time, the mop pool is easy to produce sewage and bacteria during use, which brings inconvenience and health hazards to our lives.
Recommendations:During the balcony remodeling, we can consider freeing up the location of the mop pool for other more practical household items. For example, you can decorate your balcony space with some greenery and flowers, or install some storage cabinets to store clutter and cleaning tools. This will not only make the balcony more neat and beautiful, but also bring more convenience and comfort to our lives.
Fourth, do not change the study room on the balcony casually
Some people consider converting their balcony into a study or study area in order to make the most of it. However, this practice is not applicable to all families and settings.
The light from the balcony is usually strong and harsh, and reading or working in this environment for a long time can easily cause eye fatigue and discomfort.
The balcony is connected to the living room, and the noise of the living room can easily interfere with our studies or work.
Balconies have a limited load-bearing capacity and are not suitable for heavy books and furniture.
Recommendations:When planning the use of balconies, we should consider the actual situation. If there are already other, more suitable study or work areas in the home, it is obviously not necessary to convert the balcony into a study. And if you do need to have a study area or work area on your balcony, consider some shading, sound insulation, and weight reduction measures to improve the environment.
Fifth, do not install sliding doors to make the balcony more transparent
Sliding doors serve as a partition between the balcony and the living roomAlthough it has a certain practicality, there are also some drawbacks.
First of all, sliding doors tend to accumulate dust and dirt, making cleaning more difficult and frequent.
Secondly, the sealing of the sliding door is relatively poor, which can easily lead to a large difference in indoor and outdoor temperature, which is not conducive to energy saving and environmental protection.
Finally, the presence of sliding doors also affects the transparency and lighting of the space.
In order to make the balcony more airy, comfortable and functional, we can consider removing the sliding door to connect the balcony with the living room. This not only increases the communication and interaction between indoor and outdoor, but also makes the space more open and bright. At the same time, after removing the sliding door, it can also be personalized according to the actual needs, such as installing curtains, placing green plants, etc., to create a unique home space.
Summary
Balcony renovation is a process that requires a comprehensive consideration of many factors. In the process of transformation, we should follow the principle of "first-class installation" and choose the appropriate design scheme based on our actual situation and needs. Through reasonable planning and layout, we can create a comfortable, practical and beautiful balcony space that adds more color and fun to life.
