“On the balcony, the old trash haunts us!”: We put things in order on the loggia
In a small apartment, the balcony can be turned into an additional room or veranda. And this will not prevent you from planning your free space for compact storage of household equipment, things and products. The examples in the photo will help you with this.
A beautiful sitting area on the loggia can be made functional by equipping a sofa or comfortable couch built into the end of the balcony with practical drawers.
Additional opportunities for storing things will be created by a cabinet attached to a soft surface. And on the open shelves you can place books or trinkets.
A more economical option is a bench-box. You can put magazines and newspapers in it.
Shoes can be conveniently placed on pull-out shelves under the window. If the built-in shoe shoe is made open, you can quickly select the necessary shoes or boots.
A spacious chest of drawers is suitable for small items: mittens, gloves or scarves.
Installation of racks from ready-made metal parts does not require special preparation. The elegant design will fit into any free space. You can place books or dishes on the shelves, and place large plastic containers for seasonal clothes and shoes with convenient lids nearby.
A home craftsman can make a spacious wooden shelf.
The rack can be made into a convenient pantry if you arrange items in drawers and boxes. A soft couch on the lower tier will add coziness.
Doors will help hide objects from prying eyes. A fashion trend in modern design is practical blinds or roller shutters. The interior space of the cabinet can be planned taking into account the storage of large household items: a long mop, a vacuum cleaner, an ironing board.
A corner section attached to the cabinet will allow you to rationally use the room without blocking the windows. And sliding furniture doors are suitable for a small loggia. If the doors are made mirrored, the balcony will seem more spacious.
For premises with a non-standard layout, designs are developed that take into account the design of the loggia. A free corner can be converted into an original spacious storage room.
In a small apartment, the loggia is turned into a wardrobe for hanging clothes of daily use. And non-essential items can be hidden in storage under the floor.
In winter, the insulated loggia will serve for storing vegetables placed in wicker baskets. A large harvest of potatoes is poured into spacious wooden boxes.
Homemade preparations on a warm balcony can be stored in a compact cabinet under the window or on open shelves.
An original device for home supplies is a stand with metal brackets.
You can store jars of homemade preserves on a cold loggia in a refrigerator with a constant temperature, and pour vegetables into an insulated chest with foam inserts and a heating regulator. You can make such a box yourself.
For products in metal cans, a homemade organizer is suitable, which can be placed anywhere on the loggia.
Compact storage of sports equipment and travel equipment will be provided by wall brackets and holders, the design of which can be created by the owners.
A bicycle can be hidden in a niche under a balcony window or hung from the ceiling, and a bar with hooks can be constructed for several two-wheeled vehicles.
There is also a place for seasonal storage of car wheels. A convenient aluminum structure can be placed under the roof of the loggia.
Living conditions of residents depend on the rational use of apartment space. The room will become more spacious if the owners take into account useful tips for landscaping a balcony or loggia.
