Whenever I browse abroad** and see the beautiful balcony of other people's homes, my heart is always full of envy. This made me determined that when I renovated my home in the future, I would also create such an attractive balcony.
However, in real life, the main function of our balcony is often to dry laundry. The gap between ideal and reality varies from person to person, but the main reasons are often limited space, time constraints, financial pressures, etc. We may not have a spacious house and do not have enough time and money to care for and maintain an ideal balcony. Still, we can try to make the balcony as comfortable and functional as possible in limited space and conditions.
With the improvement of living standards, our expectations for balconies are no longer limited to simple drying functions, but begin to pay attention to the taste and quality of life. What we pursue is the perfect combination of functionality and ornamentation of the balcony to meet the pursuit of contemporary people's quality of life.
1.How to place the washing machine?
In small homes, due to the limited space in the kitchen and bathroom, the washing machine is often placed on the balcony, which becomes a reluctant choice for many families. However, no matter where the washing machine is placed, we need to take into account the connection of the water and sewage pipes, moisture-proof measures, as well as the aging of electrical wiring and damage to electrical appliances to ensure the safety and convenience of use.
However, even if we have a washing machine on the balcony, we can still make it a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing by carefully arranging it.
2.How to decorate to look good?
If you want your balcony to be beautiful, the basic step is to buy a dryer. In this way, the balcony does not need to assume the function of drying clothes, so that it can restore its leisure space attributes, so that we can enjoy the sunshine while feeling the beauty of life.
1.Laundry room + storage cabinets
Not enough space in the bathroom and no separate laundry room?
The kitchen isn't big enough for a washing machine?
We can tailor an exclusive "home" on the balcony for the washing machine. A simple cabinet can not only be used as a space for the laundry room, but also solve the storage problem at home, killing two birds with one stone. This design not only makes the balcony more neat and beautiful, but also improves the convenience of life.
2.Balcony study
With just a small desk and a bookcase, it's easy to create a comfortable study space. Adding a few pots of greenery as an embellishment can not only add vitality and greenery, but also add a sense of tranquility and beauty to the study. This arrangement is both practical and eye-catching, making it more enjoyable to read and study.
Even if the space is small, just a few shelves can be added to create a sophisticated and beautiful study. Whether it's carefully selected books, small decorations, or a few green plants, every corner will become a beautiful scenery in the home, adding infinite beauty and warmth to life.
3.Balcony + garden
Balcony railings are a valuable resource for space, so don't let them sit idle. A simple wrought-iron hanging flower stand can be placed on the beloved flowers and plants, adding greenery and vitality to the balcony. If you don't have guardrails in your home, you may want to buy a few beautiful shelves and place them neatly on the balcony. This arrangement is not only beautiful and tidy, but also makes the balcony more comfortable and pleasant.
In balcony design, drainage issues are crucial. Plants need water, and daily watering is essential, but balconies, unlike the ground, do not allow water to penetrate the soil naturally. Therefore, we can take a simple and effective solution: use small pipes to connect the underside of the plants, so that when excess water accumulates, it can be drained smoothly, ensuring the health of the balcony and the plants. This design is both practical and environmentally friendly, making the balcony more beautiful and livable.
4.Balcony + wardrobe
Some friends choose to install a wardrobe on the balcony, which can not only increase the storage space, but also add a beautiful touch to the balcony. However, balconies usually have plenty of sunlight, so cabinets need to be protected from the sun. To solve this problem, it is advisable to install sheer curtains on the balcony, which can be used to shield the wardrobe from direct sunlight when the sunlight is too strong. In this way, you can not only ensure the durability of the wardrobe, but also maintain the beauty and practicality of the balcony.
Balconies are decorated in a variety of styles, but the most important thing is to choose one that suits your lifestyle. Life is like a mirror, how much effort you put in, it will give you back how much you gain. Therefore, let's live with our hearts and live up to ourselves and the good life. When it comes to decorating your balcony, you can start from your personal preferences and practical needs to create a space that is both comfortable and beautiful, so that every day is full of sunshine and hope.
