I don't want to hang clothes on the balcony. What is the transformation and utilization plan?

Balcony is a special apartment structure in residence. It connects indoor space with outdoor space, which is indoor, but half of it is connected with outdoor space. Therefore, when designing and utilizing balcony space, the factors that need to be considered are more complicated. Nevertheless, we should pay attention to how to place the balcony. After all, under the price of one inch of land, the balcony accounts for 2 or 3 square meters. If used well, it means earning tens of thousands of dollars, especially for small households. Today, I will share with you some design schemes for balcony utilization and transformation. You can see which one suits you!

// 1. Can the balcony be sealed? //

Balcony, as the exterior of the building connecting indoor and outdoor, will have an impact on the exterior of the building if it is sealed during decoration. Many local policies or property regulations do not allow balcony closure. Therefore, if you plan to use balcony space, you should first know whether the balcony in your community can be closed. So, from which channels can we find out whether we can seal the balcony?

(1) Consulting the property management company.

If it is a newly delivered house, you can consult a property management company if you want to seal the window.

▲ Closing the balcony will affect the appearance of the building, and the property company may not allow it.

② Reference neighborhood

If the house has been delivered for a long time, you can also go to the community garden and look up to see if other neighbors have related windows.

▲ Go to the balcony to see the neighbors in the opposite building and see if other neighbors have closed balconies. If so, you can learn from them.

After all, whether the balcony can be sealed is the key factor to determine how to use the balcony. After knowing whether the balcony can be sealed, you can consider how to use the balcony space.

//2. How to use the unsealed balcony? //

If the balcony can't be closed, then the use of this balcony is limited. So how can the balcony be used if it can't be sealed?

(1) washing clothes, hanging clothes.

In our living habits and thinking, the balcony is a space for washing clothes and drying clothes. Therefore, on the unsealed balcony foundation, most people's balconies are equipped with washing machines and clothes drying poles to create a practical housework space.

▲ It is normal to wash clothes and dry clothes on the balcony.

② Side-mounted lockers

The combination of washing machine cabinet and hanging cabinet can also be installed on the side of the balcony, relatively far away from the sun and rain, increasing the storage function of balcony space. Laundry liquid and clothes hangers for daily washing can be put here.

▲ If one side of the balcony is a wall, you can install a hanging cabinet for storage.

③ Flowers and plants

I like planting flowers, grass and vegetables, and the balcony is a very suitable location. In this way, you can arrange a green plant frame and plant your favorite flowers or vegetables, so that there is a fresh and natural small space at home.

▲ The balcony full of flowers and plants is also very fresh and beautiful.

//3. How to use the balcony that can be sealed? //

For balconies that can be closed, there are more possibilities for use. You can design a balcony space suitable for your living habits according to your own needs for space utilization.

(1) into the living room, increase indoor space.

For a small apartment with a small living room depth and no room to enlarge the sofa, the balcony can be merged into the living room after sealing, making the living room more open.

▲ The balcony is merged into the living room, so that a large sofa can be placed in the small living room, which is more atmospheric.

(2) layout into a leisure area

After the balcony is closed, you can also heighten the balcony to become a terrace leisure area, decorate leisure tables and chairs or hanging chairs, and sit on the balcony in winter afternoon to enjoy the bath on the balcony.

▲ After the balcony is closed, install a platform and arrange it as a good place for relaxing in the sun.

▲ Plus hanging chairs and green plants are also very casual and comfortable balcony designs.

③ Storage and custody

After the balcony is closed, storage cabinets can be installed on both sides to increase utility rate space, provide storage assistance for the living room, and keep the living room space simple and beautiful.

▲ After the balcony is closed, storage cabinets can be installed on both sides.

(4) Arrange the desk

There is a need to work overtime at home or play PC games, but is there a separate study space for the computer desk? After the balcony is closed, the side is a great desk placement position.

▲ After the balcony is closed, there is a desk next to it and a small independent space where you can work overtime or play games at home.

//4. The balcony is occupied. How to dry the clothes? //

Many people are puzzled by this problem, and this idea has a lot to do with our lifestyle and habits. In fact, clothes drying can be replaced by a dryer now, and the dryer can solve the problem!

▲ The balcony does not dry clothes, and it can be completely replaced by a dryer.
