You couldn't help but notice that over time the attitude towards the balcony has changed.

If earlier it was used mainly as a storage place for unnecessary things, now, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , the balcony is perceived as a full-fledged room.

Here you can set up a study, create a recreation area or even a dining room if you combine the balcony with the kitchen.

If you are still wondering which of the listed purposes to use the balcony for, pay attention to the mistakes that can be made when arranging this room.

Perhaps one of the most important is finishing the balcony using clapboard.

Whether it is wooden or plastic does not matter.

This material evokes a strong association with a summer house, but not in the best sense.

If you are an ardent supporter of such interior design styles as Provence, rustic or country, replace the clapboard with wooden panels.

This option can be left in its natural color or repainted in the desired shade.
