What you shouldn't ignore when decorating a balcony: an unfortunate mistake will make you lose convenience, beauty and coziness
Decorating a balcony can rightfully be called a challenge, since making a cozy and functional space out of 2-3 meters is quite difficult.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, told what you should pay attention to first before starting repairs and arrangement of the loggia.
The first step, according to the expert, should be to determine whether the windows face north or south.
If you ignore this point, it is quite possible that after the renovation you will end up with an unbearably hot office, which is impossible to be in due to the abundance of the scorching sun.
And, conversely, it is quite possible that sun-loving plants that were used to create a greenhouse on the north balcony will simply die.
Understanding which side the windows face will help you decide on the purpose of the loggia.
Thus, the southern balcony can be used for evening relaxation, equipped with blackout curtains and decorated with plants that love sunlight.
The northern balcony can be a great place to store, for example, vegetables and preserves, or for a comfortable workspace.
