Only owners of private houses can afford to sit in the shade of a terrace in the morning or evening.
The lot of residents of multi-story buildings is a view from the balcony at best. But with imagination and some skills, you can turn a balcony or loggia into a chic terrace or something similar.
Here are some fresh ideas that will help you transform your balcony.
1. The most popular option among the people, with proper insulation of the object, is an office or work area.
2. The next option is less expensive, but there are some nuances. So, on a glazed balcony you can organize a winter garden. You will have to choose either frost-resistant plants or take on the insulation of the walls and floor.
3. Vegetable gardens on balconies are no longer a novelty, but just a forgotten option. In the 90s of the last century, cucumber vines or tomato tops looked out of the windows of every multi-story building.
4. Young people can organize a place for sports on the balcony. Here you can hang a horizontal bar, a Swedish wall, put a treadmill or an exercise bike.
5. Of course, a pet can live on the balcony. Something similar to a dog cage with a bed and a feeder is another option for using the balcony.
6. You can organize a place on the balcony for storing preserves, food or other things, making it, for example, an extension of the kitchen.
7. But the most luxurious option is to make a summer terrace out of the balcony. You can put a tub with an evergreen plant, garden furniture and watch the sunsets and sunrises.
