Are you using a costly balcony just to dry clothes?

 

Summer is drawing to a close and the autumn wind has arrived.

Suppressed for too long by the stifling summer,

the recent breezes have brought no small comfort to the spirit...

At last we can leave the air conditioning behind and feel the natural wind!!!


But staying in a stuffy home,

there always seems to be a barrier between us and the beautiful world outside

...

  

Can we not feel nature at home?
That is because you are not making good use of your balcony!

Today we introduce 10 balcony conversion ideas,

so that our homes, at tens of thousands per square metre, are worth what we paid.

 

Balcony to entrance hall

If the balcony is next to the entrance, it can be designed as an entrance hall.

  

Convenient for changing clothes and shoes when coming and going, with a simple-style small table and stool

to create a comfortable atmosphere.

  

Balcony to temporary walk-in closet

When the balcony space is open and generous,

it can be designed as a temporary walk-in closet combining laundry, drying and clothes storage, convenient for daily life.

  
For the closet, choose a washing machine with a drying function to avoid excessive indoor humidity.

  

Balcony to tea room / reception room

For those devoted to the way of tea,

having a corner of the home to enjoy tea and talk

is an absolute joy,

and converting the balcony into a tea room makes this wish easy to fulfil.

 

A tatami platform giving off the fresh scent of wood,

decorated with fine bonsai,

and paired with exquisite tea ware,

instantly turns the balcony into a place to enjoy the sunlight and relax.

  

Alternatively, the balcony can be made into a semi-open reception area,

which avoids direct sun exposure while letting in the natural breeze.

  

A wooden table, a few wooden chairs, a rug,

and two or three floor cushions - refined and fresh.

With a comfortable setting and a relaxed mood, conversation flows naturally.
  

Balcony to elegant study

A typical two-bedroom flat has no room for a study,

so the balcony can be put to use

and converted into a characterful study with sunlight and a breeze.

  

Build a row of tatami-style cabinets on the balcony

to store all kinds of books, and add a few cushions.

  

When you do not feel like going out at the weekend, this is the perfect place to relax body and mind.

 

Read, daydream, enjoy the view outside the window and quietly feel time slip by.

  

For city dwellers worn out by the daily rush,

such a rare moment of leisure is a welcome counterweight to a busy life.

  

Balcony to mini garden

The many small demands of work and life leave us little time

to go out into the countryside and embrace nature, and plans are repeatedly postponed.

  

Cleverly arranging plants on the balcony

creates a mini garden in your own home.

Without leaving the house, you can enjoy the pleasures of nature.


  

Fit shelves on the balcony and arrange potted flowers and plants at different heights,

so the balcony is shaded by green leaves above

and set off by flowers below, full of life. Balconies facing north and south can be divided:

plant shade-loving plants on the north side and sun-loving plants on the south.


  

Alternatively, place miniature landscape bonsai along the inner side of the balcony and on the railing;

on both sides of the balcony you can put up trellises and grow a few climbing plants,

and arrange the balcony exactly as you like it.

  

Then

place two or three armchairs or wooden chairs on the balcony, paired with a fine square coffee table,

and the whole view is yours to enjoy.

  

Balcony to small dining bar

Life is tiring enough already,

so you certainly need somewhere to let your soul relax.

It may not be big or striking,

but if it is yours, that is enough - a must for quiet homebodies.

  
To create a better living atmosphere, the partition wall between the balcony and the room can be removed and the balcony designed as a small bar counter.
  

In the morning you eat breakfast and drink coffee in the gentle breeze,

and in the evening it is your space for two - a sip of wine in the night, here's to a carefree life.

  
With a thousand views outside the window behind you and the warm smiles of your family in front, is that not one of life's great pleasures!
  

Balcony to home gym

Buy a treadmill, dumbbells, a yoga ball, a yoga mat and so on, and it becomes your very own home gym!

 

Leave plenty of space for stretching, and install blinds or insect screens

to ensure privacy while keeping daylight and ventilation.

  
Both aerobic and strength training are essential: doing some yoga safeguards the health of the whole family, and exercising together also strengthens family bonds.
  

Balcony to storage space

Too much stuff at home, and it becomes messy as soon as you tidy it.

We need a highly functional storage space.

  

Turning the balcony into storage space keeps everything neat and orderly, however much there is,

and you no longer have to worry about having nowhere to put everything you buy.

  

Balcony storage is usually made up of a combination of wall cabinets and low cabinets:

put rarely used items on top and frequently used items below.

If you do not need a washbasin on the balcony, you can install full-height storage cabinets,

which store more and save you from cleaning the tops of the cabinets.

  
You can also add some movable storage boxes for small everyday items, making life more convenient.
  

Balcony to laundry room

When the layout is narrow and the balcony is long and thin,

install full-height hinged-door cabinets on the balcony to relieve the shortage of space.

  
This makes full use of the space, with the washing machine built into the cabinet.
  

Balcony to pet zone

Create a dedicated living space for your pet.

In your free time you can keep it company here

and play with it without disturbing the rest of the family.

Separating the litter tray, food bowls and play area

is the perfect arrangement.

  
Pay attention to enclosing the balcony so your pet cannot slip out, and also to ventilation and sunlight.
  

It is best to keep the pet's area separate from the owner's relaxation area.

That way you can relax more easily and build a closer bond with your pet.

  
Is your balcony still only used for drying clothes?

After reading this, do you feel like giving your own balcony a makeover?
