Balconies often serve as a simple spot to dry clothes, but their potential for diverse functions is frequently overlooked, which can reduce their overall value. With some creative thinking, you can transform your balcony into a practical and beautiful space. Here are some inspiring ideas to make the most of your balcony with smart storage solutions:
1. Washing machine + storage cabinet
The balcony is transformed into a laundry room. A cabinet is installed on the side of the balcony against the wall. The washing machine can be embedded in the cabinet without occupying other space positions, and cleaning supplies such as laundry detergent and disinfectant can be placed directly on the cabinet, which is convenient and tidy. At the same time, after taking out the clothes from the washing machine, they can be directly dried on the balcony without carrying a basin of wet clothes in the room.
2. Desk + bookcase
Pull the sliding door, and the balcony becomes a private small space. Setting up a desk and a bookcase can form a small study, creating a small space for reading or working. Of course, such a design is best in a closed balcony, on the one hand to avoid damage to the bookcase and collection of books, on the other hand to prevent erosion by wind, sand, dust, etc.
3. Leisure Chair + Art Display Cabinet
Add a few ornaments and furniture to turn the balcony into a leisure and entertainment place. No place to put tourist souvenirs? The balcony display cabinet is a good choice. Put a leisure chair in front of the display cabinet and a small side table next to it. On sunny days, it is so pleasant to sit on the balcony and drink tea and read books. When friends get together, they can also invite this space to display their collections, which can be said to be both leisure and entertainment.
4. Perforated Board + Shelf:
In addition to being a place for literary and artistic leisure, the balcony is indeed a good storage space. On a balcony with a relatively narrow space, the combination of perforated board and shelf is a beautiful and practical choice. Hang some small items needed in daily life or popular potted plants on the perforated board, which is practical and beautiful. In addition, putting sundries into storage boxes and placing them on the shelf is not messy from a visual point of view, but very neat and orderly.
Of course, some people directly place the wardrobe on the balcony. For small-sized houses, it can be said that a lot of bedroom space is saved.
Is a balcony with a locker more attractive than a living room? However, balcony lockers also have disadvantages. Even a closed balcony is sometimes exposed to the sun, so there are higher requirements for the material of the locker, and comparative analysis is required when choosing.
