Loggia design

Almost every apartment has a balcony. It is used in different ways: as a pantry, as a sleeping place in the summer. Loggia has some advantages. For example, it, unlike a balcony, has all four walls and a ceiling. The advantage of the loggia is that it is almost always glazed. Therefore, many owners combine it with one of the rooms or make it a personal account.

A small loggia can be a continuation of the kitchen. This option is suitable for an apartment in a panel house or for owners of narrow rooms.

• In order to begin the arrangement of the balcony, it must be cleaned of everything that is superfluous, i.e. throw out all that is not used for a long time. After that, you need to sweep and wash the floors.
• After cleaning, begin to engage in glazing. Windows can be with wooden frames, plastic or frameless.They may have traditional, stained glass or tinted glass.
• Next, carry out the procedure of waterproofing. She may be:

1. baking based on bitumen, polymer or liquid rubber;
2. pasted roll.
3. special water-repellent primer.

• Warming the room is another important step. Not only the walls are warmed, but also the floor and the ceiling. Mineral plate, polyfoam or foam - the main insulation.
• Interior decoration begins with plating.

1. The ceiling is usually sheathed with quality drywall. This material is good because it can be decorated with wood paneling or paint. Another ceiling can be made suspended: it is sheathed with clapboard or just whitened.
2. For wall cladding using modern and sustainable plastic panels, wood or PVC lining or vinyl siding. Walls decorated with photo printing or paint.
3. The floor is covered with laminate, tile or carpet. You can install a "warm floor". This option is expensive, but it can replace other heating devices, such as batteries or heaters.

Arrange a loggia as you like. It all depends on the desire and financial capabilities of the apartment owners. It is possible to issue a beautiful and comfortable not only a large loggia, but also a small one. The main thing to know how to do it.

Study. It is necessary for those people who work at home. Therefore, the cabinet should be equipped with all that may be needed.

It is possible to supplement the room with pictures or indoor flowers.

Wardrobe - This is the dream of all girls.If there is not enough space in the apartment or there are too many closets, then you can transfer all things to the wardrobe at the loggias.

Beautiful tulle is hung on the windows and a small chandelier on the ceiling. You can make the backlight at the base of the cabinet. It will look stylish and original.

Winter Garden - the perfect solution for lovers of flowers and garden. On such a loggia grow seedlings or houseplants. But in this case, the room should be well heated.

Rest zone. Who does not want to relax in silence in the fresh air after a hard day? To equip the balcony as a place to rest is an interesting decision. If the dimensions allow, then chairs and a table are installed on the loggias. If not, then we can confine ourselves to a chair. The main thing is that the room creates a feeling of comfort.

Curtains are hung on the windows, and you can replace a large table with a small folding table. On it, if desired, put a cup of coffee and put the book. A warm blanket is laid on the chair to cover it in cool evenings.

On the panoramic windows it is better to hang the blinds or thick dark tulle. In this way you can adjust the amount of light that enters the room.

Bedroom or children's room. If the room is adjacent to the loggia, then you can increase the space by connecting these two rooms. Combined children should be in the same style. Therefore, the first thing to do is repair.

If the loggia is not connected to the nursery, then you can make a children's corner on it. They put a chest with toys, fixed shelves for books, coloring books and pencils. It will not be superfluous to put a soft sofa.

Gym mini - gym. If the area allows, then on the balcony you can install an exercise bike, gymnastic wall, put mats on the floor. They hang a mirror on the wall and fix the radio to make the lessons more interesting.

Library. Fans of literature will no longer store a huge number of books and magazines in the apartment. Loggia is a great place for bookshelves. And to make the space cozy, they place a small sofa on it.

The interior of the resulting space is performed in the same style. Colors should be in harmony with each other.If natural wood is used to finish the floor and walls, they are necessarily treated with a primer and opened with varnish.

The walls of the loggia can be bricked up or pasted over with tiles. Many people paint walls in bright colors like red and blue. But such a motley version must be diluted with furniture in soothing colors. For example, a white sofa and a glass table.

The most important thing when making a balcony with panoramic windows, especially if they are frameless, is to insulate it or to install heaters. An expensive but effective way of warming is the “warm floor” function. The loggia should be warm all year round.
