Balconies, as an extension of the interior space, also play a pivotal role in the decoration process. When well decorated, the balcony is a treasure space that can be fully utilized, which can not only enhance the aesthetics and comfort of the home, but also increase the practicality. However, in view of the fact that many people have no experience in decorating for the first time, it is easy to "add to the snake" in the decoration of the balcony, and want to follow the trend to do everything, but in the end they find that everything is wrong, not only spending money in vain, but also leaving full of regrets.
The content of this issue will summarize with you the "5 don'ts" about balcony decoration, which are the experience of people who have come over, and everyone should pay attention to avoiding pits!
Some decorators will tell the owner that the ceiling should be unified, the living room must have a suspended ceiling, and the balcony must also have it. In fact, it is not necessary to install a suspended ceiling, like the kind of balcony that only undertakes the function of drying clothes, and the people who came over suggested: if you can not do the ceiling, you can not do it, save one or two thousand yuan, and paint latex paint or scrape white on the top surface.
Especially the kind of original floor height is not enough 2In a 7-meter house, the ceiling height was lowered after the ceiling was suspended, and the space was even more depressing. No one will pay attention to the ceiling of your balcony when they go to your house, just install an electric drying rack and you're done. Of course, if there are pipes exposed on the balcony, it will indeed be much more beautiful to make a suspended ceiling, let's come according to the actual situation.
Whether it's a sling chair or a mop pool, it's an outdated product for modern decoration design. Many people have an inexplicable longing for the sling chair, thinking about basking in the sun on the balcony and feeling the sunshine, but in the end, the sling chair was bought home for a period of time, and the freshness passed, and it became a large "waste" that hindered the space.
Although the mop pool is practical, but now the mop comes with a bucket, which is also very convenient, the mop pool is not beautiful enough and you have to clean it regularly, it is purely unnecessary, and it also takes up space. The modern home concept focuses on simplicity, practicality and beauty, and the balcony is a combination cabinet, which is much more beautiful than the mop pool.
The big floor-to-ceiling windows are the yearning of many people's hearts, but if you look out of the balcony of your house are high-rise buildings and there is no worthwhile scenery, then the dream of making the floor-to-ceiling windows bigger should be crushed as soon as possible! It looks good, but the overall decoration cost is too high, it's not worth it, and it's not suitable for ordinary home decoration.
Large floor-to-ceiling windows mean that the profiles, glass and hardware accessories of doors and windows are more expensive than ordinary glass windows. Not only that, high-rise also needs hoisting fees to transport these materials, and the installation also needs to pay for multiple workers to work at height, and the key is that the installation process is also prone to glass shattering and other situations.
Even if everything is done and there are no problems, but what about the safety hazards in future use? The larger the glass area, the more risk of breakage, coupled with the tempered glass itself has a self-explosion rate of 3 per 1,000, in case of a typhoon can not resist, the consequences are unimaginable.
Owners of small apartments may want to remodel the balcony to free up a study room in the home to work independently, in fact, this solution is not impossible, but it is not recommended by the past. The main reason is that considering the balcony area, it is impossible to avoid direct sunlight or western sun, which is not conducive to study and office. Although this problem can be solved by installing curtains in the later stage, after the curtains are closed, the indoor lighting will be affected, even if it is to install gauze curtains, it is not practical, and it will not be able to resist the sunlight, and the windows will dance wildly.
On the other hand, a study room is a quiet environment that is needed. But the balcony is close to the outside, which is obviously not too suitable, maybe the noise reduction effect of the high-rise will be better, but you also have to consider the environmental impact, such as whether it will be too cold to study here in winter? Will it be too hot in the summer? All in all, if it is not necessary, it is not recommended to make a balcony into a study, which will generally do more harm than good.
As long as the developer does not force the balcony to be equipped with inward windows, the balcony should try to avoid inward windows, sliding windows or prefer inward opening and inverted windows. Because after installing the inward window, the indoor space has to be sacrificed.
Not only that, if there are drying racks, cabinets, etc. near the window, it is easy to cause a lot of inconvenience, affecting the drying of clothes or the opening of the door. If the balcony has curtains, the curtains cannot be bypassed from the window, which will also cause a lot of inconvenience. The key is that the inward opening window is also particularly easy to bump, and if you don't pay attention to cleaning, you will hurt yourself.
