The balcony, which is so unreasonably filled with all sorts of rubbish, is at least 3 square meters of full -fledged living space. To use them as efficiently as possible, you need to glaze the balcony, insulate it and electrify it. All this is not easy, and requires certain financial investments, but they all instantly pay off.

Additional heating of the balcony can be carried out by installing safe heaters or using the “warm floor” system device. The need to decorate windows depends on the location of the balcony. If they go to the south side or the apartment is on the first or second floor, you can’t do without protection.
What can be done in this warm room – in fact, a separate room?
Greenhouse. With a competent proper selection of varieties and proper care of plants, the whole family can enjoy cucumbers, peppers, beans, tomatoes and herbs from their gardening. If desired, here you can grow a beautiful bouquet of lilies, fragrant currants and some strawberry varieties.
Silent Hall. No matter how surprising it may sound, you can easily equip a training room on the balcony. A treadmill or exercise bike, as well as a TV with DVD player, will fit here, because it is much more pleasant to pedal or wrap kilometers for your favorite movie.
Place for practices. Yoga – the right way will cope with the stress and stresses that shorten life. Meditation and yoga classes will help strengthen the body and relax after a hard working day. On the floor – mats and rugs, on shelves – incense and tape recorder with calm music, and departure to Nirvana is guaranteed.
Cabinet. Freelanders and those people who are forced to take home work on duty will evaluate this opportunity. Even on a tiny balcony will fit a table for a computer and a chair. Lighting can be made narrowly focused or general. In this case, blinds will come in handy, which will hide the employee from prying eyes: indeed, there is nothing to know for a random passers -by, that at the moment a person makes flowers to order with delivery, is working on a new project or draws up a report.
Workshop. Modeling of plastic, drawing, batik, sewing and other creative work is argued when a separate place is allocated for it: no one bothers anyone, and all materials are collected in one place. The equipment of the workshop depends on the type of work. Enough cabinet for equipment and materials and desktop. If necessary, you can place a cooler with water. The main advantage of the Master’s balcony is natural light.
Playground. If the balcony is combined with the nursery, it is worth giving the child a new place for games. If the dimensions of the balcony allow, you can place a swing, horizontal bar, ladder or small slide on it. At the same time, it is better to choose windows with hardened glass – it is impossible to break them, so the baby will be completely protected.
