In most cases, little attention is paid to the arrangement of the balcony. Usually, more and more things are gradually accumulated on it, which are sorry to throw out or there is no place to store anymore. To even in these conditions, the balcony had a pleasant look, you will need a wardrobe. It must be compact, but at the same time roomy and at the same time have an attractive design.
Peculiarities
The trim of the balconies is not always quite beautiful, so with the help of the cabinet such an interior becomes more interesting. Many models are presented in furniture stores - you can choose material, processing, color, design. Among such a variety will definitely find an option for every taste. In addition to aesthetic function, the furniture for the balcony performs and practical.
- It serves as an additional storage for those things that cannot be accommodated in other parts of the apartment. If you need to unload furniture in one of the rooms, you can remove everything too much on the balcony.
- Allows you to spend the already small area more economically.
- Well-thought-out internal branches accommodate a much larger number of items. Doors reliably hide the contents from prying eyes.
However, the selection of the cabinet does not always give easily. Usually difficulties arise due to balcony architecture. Although most of the models of ordinary cabinets and can be adapted to a given space, it is not possible to implement everything.
In addition, for some materials, a prerequisite is maintaining a constant temperature regime and humidity level.
Types of structures
For the balcony, two varieties of the wardrobes are like.
- Separately standing - We are a familiar option with our own bottom, sidewalls, rear wall and facades (doors). The existing framework gives them the opportunity to move from place to place. When the size coincides, you can buy a finished product, without waiting and overpayments.
- Embedded - The frame in it is replaced with wooden bars or metal profile, which are mounted shelves and facades. In fact, it is a felling door-coupe space (part of the balcony). Composite details are made to order, in size.
The cabinet can have two types of design.
- Linear (straight). In this case, it is installed along one of the free walls or, if necessary, can brake the balcony into two parts, as well as cut it from the room.
- Corner. It may consist of two direct units docked at right angles. Or is a separate angular element with greater depth, the form of which can resemble a trapezoid or triangle.
If it allows the area of the loggia, the facade part can be made semicircular - concave or curved.
The purpose of balcony cabinets can be completely different. In most cases, they keep everything in a row - old, unnecessary things, sports equipment, bedding and much more. Content may remain constant or vary depending on the season.
However, if a workplace is equipped on the balcony, instruments or materials can be stored in the closet. If the layout combines the balcony zone with the room, it will be found in it for any items - from books and dishes to toys.
Types of materials
The material from which the furniture for the balcony will be manufactured must be durable, wear-resistant and pleasant. In addition, it is desirable that the price is available. For the loggia, different options are permissible - from simple to luxury, depending on the possibilities and preferences of the owners.
- Wood It can only be used on a well-equipped balcony with a permanent microclimate. The drops of temperature and moisture can cause irreparable harm to a solid and beautiful material.
- MDF and DPP With a film coating, much less suffer from external influence. The choice of colors and textures is quite wide here, there is a gloss.
- Different kinds plastic Which are used as inserts, are most suitable for this zone.
However, they are required to protect against ultraviolet, which can affect not only color, but also for strength - for this you can hang any curtains or blinds.
- Glass (painted and ordinary) and mirrors There are many less often on balconies and loggias. They significantly increase the cost of the finished product, and they are inappropriate as decoration there.
In all cabinets there are coupe Metal parts. In embedded models, they are used to create the base and fasteners. In all other, at least there are metal frames on the facades, as well as profile and roller mechanisms for movement.
High-quality fittings are not only durable and durable, but also resistant to corrosion.
What to pay attention to when choosing
In addition to the material, it is important for the selection stage to determine immediately with several main positions.
- Calculate size. First of all, it will depend on the room balcony. The straight wardrobe can be placed from the end, while it should not interfere with the windowsill, heating devices, pipes, etc. The window is better not to blur or do it with minimal loss of natural lighting. Usually use all the space to the ceiling. Depth depends on the destination. For fishing gear or tools, it is enough 35 cm. For blanks or storage of household appliances - 50-60 cm, if possible. The angular cabinet is considered a more compact option, the SCOS can be started so as not to touch the window or make a more convenient passage.
- Pick up the desired design . Of course, it is better to use the built-in option on the balcony. Due to the absence of a frame, it is slightly more spacious, in addition, this design will save money. You can retreat from the correct form towards convenience and place an order by an individual design project. However, cabinet furniture is considered more reliable, and it looks inside carefully.
- Select the optimal internal device. In order to use it, more effectively need shelves of different widths and heights, boxes, hooks and holders. The cabinet can be divided into several compartments in width or height. To accommodate items of different height and volume, it is better to make a shelf with removable. Such a cabinet transformer will be simply indispensable.
Examples of design
In the choice of design it is necessary to take into account the tastes of the owners and their preferences. At the same time, do not forget that the balcony should not be knocked out of the overall picture. If the entire apartment is decorated in a classic concept, the cabinet must match it. It is also worth considering that In a small space, a pronounced classic will look a little persecuted, so a sufficiently restrained, conservative version without decor.
With natural lighting, any colors of the facades look good, especially bright. However, glossy surfaces can be glad. In addition, you should not forget that the colored doors too strongly attract attention, especially if they are viewed from the adjacent room. That's why It is better to give preference to all shades of green - so the wardrobe will look appropriate, especially against the background of the summer landscape.
Despite the glare, there are sometimes mirrors on the balcony cabinet. Usually it chases only one goal - visually push the boundaries of the room. In matters of expanding the space, the mirror wall is the most effective means.
To achieve the same effect, light doors are used. But with dark facades, the cabinet looks more neat. It also plays the surrounding background - the furniture can merge or stand out on the contrast.
So that the interior of the balcony looked harmoniously, all the details of its design should be combined with each other. It may touch the furniture and decoration of walls or ceiling. In addition to natural lighting, it is necessary to take care of suitable luminaires. On the beautiful balcony you can spend the evenings, play or engage in creativity.
