We will consider one of these ideas, namely, how to make a cozy, secluded office out of the balcony, where neither a grumpy wife nor noisy children will get you.
Since Soviet times, it was customary to store all sorts of rubbish on the balcony. Moreover, sometimes even the owner himself does not know what is there.
It is not uncommon for a broken ski, a rusty tricycle, a selection of magazines to be found among the many items that were safely forgotten on a balcony or loggia. Young Technician”, a jar of pickles that has long been swollen, a vintage bag and a mink hat half eaten by moths ...
Why wasn't there! Probably the only thing that could not be seen on the balcony was the perfect order.
My name is Alena Tyshman and today I will tell you how to use a glazed balcony wisely - as functionally and aesthetically attractive as possible.
The first step towards a dream: redecorating the balcony
To design an office on the balcony, it is better to glaze it and, if possible, conduct heating. If you can wait a bit with heating, then glazing the future room is a must!
Windows will prevent dust and precipitation from entering the premises, as well as protect against significant temperature fluctuations in the off-season.
An economical option that can be used instead of heating is the insulation of the balcony with the help of penoplex, penofol or polystyrene. Don't forget to insulate the floor as well.
The cosmetic finish of the glazed balcony involves various variations, depending on your preferences, taste and, of course, financial situation.
Any Decoration Materials suitable for living rooms, it is quite possible to use here. In the literal sense: wallpaper, wall paneling, cork, painting - absolutely everything is suitable for the balcony!
The main rule in the design of the balcony: use light color palette and glossy surfaces. After all, the room is small, so it should be further visually enlarged.
The balcony-study should also be well lit and equipped with additional power points (sockets). On the initial stage cosmetic repairs The future Cabinet needs to think about this aspect as well.
The second step to a cozy office on the balcony: buying or making furniture to order
Naturally, it is not so easy to buy furniture for the balcony. Standard products are unlikely to fit perfectly into such a small room. Therefore, it is necessary to make furniture to order.
Before you go to a furniture company, try to think on your own about what exactly you want to see in the office on the balcony.
Furniture elements that help to functionally manage the space on the balcony:
Written (computer) table
For a balcony, it is enough to install only the tabletop from the table, supplementing it with an exit shelf for the keyboard. Thus, you will save money on materials, and will not clutter up an already small space.
Bookshelves
There are two main options for bookshelves on the balcony:
- independent shelves above the table;
- bookcase on opposite wall regarding the table.
Drawers for papers, stationery and more
If a table without legs is supposed to be in the office on the balcony (exclusively the tabletop), then for drawers you can make a special mobile cabinet (bedside table on wheels). Or, several independent drawers placed above / below the desk.
Shelves for office equipment
The overall size of the shelves and their actual placement depends on the equipment that is supposed to be present in the office on the balcony.
Be sure, before ordering furniture for the balcony, measure all the devices and provide the dimensions to the designer.
The more open shelves, closed cabinets, drawers and mobile furniture - the more practical, comfortable and neat in the office on the balcony.
Use the space above the table, under the table, on the walls and even on the floor, but remember to leave room for free access and movement around the office.

An office on a balcony or loggia: the pros and cons
There is a balcony or loggia in any modern apartment, but, almost always it is small, but, very effective area we do not use it as correctly and rationally as we would like. Apparently, the stereotype works: a balcony is a pantry. But, this is far from being the case, a balcony or a loggia is perfect place for creating sports corner for children or a mini gym for adults, small summer kitchen, beautiful winter garden or so necessary modern man- a separate working area, office.
It is about the study on the balcony or loggia that we will tell in more detail.
Why choose a balcony or a loggia as a place to organize a working area? Consider all the pros and cons.
The advantages of placing a study on a balcony or loggia:
- illumination: balcony or loggia equipped large quantity windows, therefore, during daylight hours, sunny, natural light prevails as a source of illumination. And given that natural light is very favorable for the eyes and, in general, for the mental and psychological state of a person, work in such an office will be both pleasant and productive.
- ventilation: only in a well-ventilated room can the human brain work at full capacity! And on the balcony or loggia, this is facilitated by a large number of windows.
- privacy: balcony or loggia - as a rule, places in the apartment with the greatest distance from the hallway, corridors, in the depths of the apartment or room. Therefore, even when a balcony or loggia is attached to a room, with the subsequent organization of a working area on it, a certain isolation remains, again, contributing to fruitful work.
The disadvantages include the complexity and cost of transformation ordinary balcony or a loggia into a full-fledged study.
An office on a balcony or loggia: where to start
Before starting any repairs in the apartment, you need to have a good idea of the end result, in this case, how it will be organized, how the office will function and look on the balcony or loggia. And in order to do it right, you need to know what, in general, there are types of cabinets on the balcony.
According to the method of organizing space, all study rooms on a balcony or loggia can be divided into:
- individual: this is a full-fledged office on the loggia, isolated from the main space of the room window block with a door. In this case, the design of the study balcony may be different from the design solution of the whole room, be more minimalistic and functional.
- attached: in this case, a balcony or loggia acts as a study, but not as an isolated room, but as a part, a zone of the room to which it is attached. In this case, the design of the office should be in perfect harmony with the design of the entire room.
According to the type of furniture used on the balcony-office, study rooms on the balcony or loggia can be divided into:
- stationary workrooms: in fact, this is a real small office, which has everything (tables, cabinets, shelves, computer, printer, etc.) and at the right time.
- mobile workrooms on the loggia: most often have the form of an office on demand. The furniture in such an office on the balcony is arranged in such a way that at the end of work, everything slides in easily, quickly and compactly, closes and hides, for example, in a built-in closet. And the balcony or loggia continues to perform a completely different function: a place of rest, a gym, etc.
Having a good idea of \u200b\u200bthe office on the loggia, the design of which is perfect for you, you can start working on creating your own office on the balcony.
Cabinet on the loggia: stages of creation
Here are the main stages of arranging a study on a balcony or loggia and what you should pay attention to Special attention in their implementation:
- Glazing: required condition to organize an office on the balcony. At the same time, it is better not to save money and install triple-glazed windows.
- Wiring: not a single office can do without office equipment, and an office on the balcony is no exception, that is, sockets are needed, as well as, in addition, artificial ceiling lighting and switches for it. To do this, you need to lay strobes, and this is a dusty and dirty task, therefore, it should be done on initial stage. At the same time, to save time, effort and money, it is worth taking the wires out of the adjacent room, and placing the strobes on the wall separating the balcony and the room.
- Warming: Depending on whether it is a balcony or a loggia, the degree and method of insulating the floor, ceiling and walls will vary. So, for the insulation of the balcony, light materials with high heat-insulating properties, dry screed are suitable. But the loggia can be insulated more thoroughly: a screed is poured onto the floor, but the walls and ceiling are still insulated with mineral wool or polystyrene foam, the layer necessary for better thermal insulation. Naturally, the insulation also includes the organization of hydro and vapor barrier so that the condensate does not destroy the interior finish of not only the balcony itself, but also the furniture, as well as office equipment, which is so necessary for a full-fledged study, as well as rough finish moisture resistant drywall or plaster.
- Heating: unfortunately neither good windows, not the same capital insulation will not be able to fully ensure comfortable work, both for a person and equipment in severe winter frosts. That is why you should also take care of heating your balcony or loggia. As a heating device, they can act as electric underfloor heating (easy to install, but quite expensive during operation, if you do not take care of buying and installing temperature sensors and a thermostat) or stationary heating radiators placed on the loggia (but this requires permission from the relevant building bodies, the project is quite expensive and time consuming, but economical and convenient in subsequent operation.
- Interior finish: subject to all the above points, materials for interior decoration balcony-study, you can choose absolutely any: laminate, decorative plaster, wooden or plastic lining, tiles, wallpaper, etc. - what is more comfortable and pleasant for you to work in.
- Workspace organization: the office is working, convenient, practical furniture. Given the fact that the balcony is not a completely standard place, then the furniture on it should be the same, that is, made to order, built-in (comfortable and space-saving).
Residents big city living in small apartments, you have to be very resourceful and use every centimeter of living space to the maximum. At the same time, many often forget that they have a balcony, and store all unnecessary things or blanks for the winter there. This approach is very impractical, because in that very place you can arrange an area for recreation, work or creativity.
One of the most practical options for busy people - arrange a study on the balcony. If you study or work, then such a room will help you make your hours spent at the computer more efficient. How to organize the space on the balcony so that it turns into a mini-office, you will learn from our article.
Advantages and disadvantages
Not every balcony is suitable for converting it into an office. Decide whether the balcony space can be used for the working area, and only then proceed to its arrangement.
If you have an open and unheated balcony, then it is definitely not suitable for organizing an office there. Also, you should not arrange an office on a very tiny balcony, where you will even have nowhere to turn around.
But, of course, such a design decision has its advantages. A separate office, even the smallest one, is already a great option for a workspace. There you can retire and study or work for your own pleasure, without being distracted by family conversations, extraneous noise and other external factors.
How to prepare a balcony
If, after weighing all the pros and cons, you still decide to turn your balcony into a small home office, then you need to prepare it first. If you have outdoor balcony, for example, in the bedroom, then it must first be glazed. Thus, you can use your office at any time of the year, regardless of the weather outside. You can use both cold and warm glazing methods.
Ideally, the balcony should also be insulated. Having warmed it outside and inside, you will get a cozy space where it will be pleasant to spend time even on winter evenings when it is cold outside. Exist various options insulation. On your balcony, you can use any of them, from dense mineral wool to an airtight foam. All cracks and openings should be treated with foam or sealant at least a day before you turn all your design ideas into reality.
It is also desirable to supplement your room with a floor heating system. Such a system is not so cheap, so if such an addition does not fit into your budget, then you can limit yourself to just laying good laminate or carpet. They are pleasant to the touch, and do not cool down in cold weather as quickly as tiles.
According to the rules, central heating missing on the balcony. Therefore, you will have to warm yourself. For protection against winter frosts install a small electric heater on your balcony.
Design
When the base of the cabinet is ready, you can start arranging it. First of all, decide on a style. Styles such as classic, English or modern are best suited for a study.
Due to the fact that the balcony is a very small and limited room, you do not need to use too many all kinds of details that will only take up free space. This attitude to decorative details is typical for all the styles listed above.
As is known, light colors help to make the space visually wider. Therefore, for decorating a balcony, it is best to use light colors. Pastel wallpaper, light wood laminate and a white ceiling will make your small room feel cozier and more spacious. The same result can be achieved by installing large windows. Not suitable for office panoramic glazing, simple wide windows will suffice.
In a small space, just a few color accents will be enough, for example, a bright lamp, a photo frame or a flower in an unusual pot. Such an office will look both creative and formal enough at the same time, so you will feel comfortable working there.
Proper lighting also plays an important role in the office. Since here you will work with books, documents and a computer for a long time, you need the light to be good and not spoil your eyesight. If during the day this problem is perfectly solved due to natural light entering through the windows, then for work at night or in the evening it is worth installing lighting fixtures on the balcony.
For example, you can install a floor lamp in the corner, or place a small table lamp on the table. Naturally, there is no place for large chandeliers and volumetric lamps on a tiny balcony. Therefore, limit yourself to small fixtures or lamps. It is also advisable to hang curtains or blinds on the windows in order to feel comfortable in the evenings. Blinds and curtains, like wallpaper, it is better to choose light ones to create the illusion of free space.
Balcony space, with imagination, can be used in different ways. If it seems irrational to you to simply clutter up the space with old things, then try converting it into an office. Having arranged such small space in accordance with your requests, you will enjoy secluded work there. Be inspired by our ideas and design examples of other workspaces and create the creative office of your dreams on your balcony.
In most cases, an unglazed balcony is used as a storage room and a place for drying clothes. Many people keep old things on the balcony, which have no place in the apartment (as well as the use of these things), but they don’t want to throw them away. But the balcony is valuable meters of your living space. If you properly dispose of these meters, you can get almost a separate tiny room, another cozy corner. We used to write about, it's time to talk about how to make an office on the balcony.
Many dream of a separate workplace in the apartment, their own office, which will allow them to concentrate on work even in a nice home interior. Separates them from the dream is just a balcony that is not used to the maximum.
How to make a workplace on the balcony
If you decide to make an office on the balcony, then you need to glaze it and make it. Windows will protect you from dust and dirt, from precipitation and, of course, from temperature changes. However, windows alone are not enough. It is also necessary to carefully insulate the balcony. Penofol is perfect for a small space, which will not “steal” your area, since the thickness of the material is only 4 mm. By their own thermal insulation characteristics this material is comparable to 50mm thick foam. Before proceeding with the installation of penofol, you need to carefully seal all the cracks and corners with airtight tape. You can also use sealant, but working with it is much more difficult.
An additional insulating layer will be required, and only then you can finish the balcony.
Pay attention to the floor. If you have the opportunity to make underfloor heating on the balcony, then this option should definitely be used. The heat-insulated floor will create necessary temperature condition even in the most severe frosts. For regions with warmer climates normal fit laminate. If necessary, you can use a small heater.
Finishing and decorating the office on the balcony
Before proceeding with the cosmetic decoration of the room, carefully consider the design project of your balcony. You need to anticipate everything important little things that will be needed in the future. For example, spare sockets or additional shelf mounts.
To finish the balcony, try to use bright hues They visually enlarge the room. white ceiling, for example, will give the interior lightness. If you have the opportunity to make glossy ones on the balcony stretch ceiling, use it. Gloss will reflect light, which will also add extra volume to the space.
Try to use natural materials or their analogues: light wood can be replaced with a wood-textured laminate. Thus, you can make your office more comfortable.
We do not advise you to experiment with contrasting and bright colors. AT small room bright colors may look too noisy and even aggressive, and such an interior quickly tires. If you want to add some color to your office, then choose one interesting accessory that will draw attention to yourself. This approach will help you successfully combine the work area with the recreation area. As an accessory, you can use, for example, a fluffy rug or an original painting.
Be sure to consider the fact that a balcony can combine several functions: not only a study, but also a place of rest.
However, the main area should be the work area. You need to place a small but comfortable desktop and an ergonomic chair on the balcony. Because the workplace usually associated with a large number of important papers and documents, then provide a small rack or cabinet for papers. Great solution for a small balcony there will be hanging shelves.
Remember that the furniture on the balcony should be roomy, but shallow. Otherwise, it will absorb all the free space.
You can equip a small library on the other side of the balcony, put a bookcase there and a small comfortable ottoman or a pear chair. Thus, you can not only work in the office, but also fully relax.
To give your balcony freshness and coziness, place a few beautiful plants to the balcony. You can use a small window sill or you can attach the plants to the wall using a planter. Small plants will look great next to books on high shelves or even on open shelves in a closet. Just remember to water them.
Lighting
Don't forget to choose the right lighting for your office. In the daytime you will come to the rescue sunlight, and on cloudy days and at night, use lamps that mimic natural light.
You can place lights on the ceiling or walls, original solution will become " desk lamp”, built into the shelf above your work desk. If you can adjust the brightness of the light, then this will give you both productive work and good rest.
Do not buy large chandeliers and lamps with large shades, on small balcony they will look out of place.
If your balcony faces sunny side, then you also need to think about protection from bright sun rays. It can be special curtains for plastic windows or ordinary translucent curtains made of lightweight material. You can block out the light by using blinds, but this décor item is more suitable for office space. Blinds can deprive your office of coziness and the feeling of home warmth.
Equip Personal Area on the balcony is not easy, but such a change functional purpose balcony will help you make your life better. The balcony should not be a storage of unnecessary things, valuable square meters should not be lost. Moreover, if you have a large balcony, then you can equip as many as two jobs. You will have to sacrifice a closet, but you will have a very comfortable office for two.
A glazed and insulated balcony has long received the status of a living space. It is often used as a utility room for drying clothes or growing plants. However, on the additional area you can easily arrange a more functional room. Advanced tenants equip a workplace on a balcony or loggia: a small workshop, a cozy study, a children's corner or carpentry.
Following the desire to transform the balcony space, ideas of its reincarnation appear. Registration and construction activities are completely dependent on the plans of the one who will become the conditional owner of the premises. A workshop for an adult family member requires a more practical, business-like approach, while a place of study for a child is completely different.
Cozy workplace on the loggia for schoolchildren or students
The first step is to come up with a project - draw up a plan for converting the balcony into a more comfortable room. It is better to draw a sketch or prepare a printout of a virtual interior created in a computer program. Then you need to write a list of everything that will make up the interior of the room.
The following points must be taken into account:
- natural lighting during the day and electric in the evening;
- comfortable furniture for work;
- comfortable air temperature;
- pleasant, but not distracting decor;
- neutral color scheme.
Do not forget that the work area is still different from the place of rest, so couches, sofas, comfortable rocking chairs will be superfluous there.

If you plan to equip school corner Be sure to ask your child about their preferences. It depends on what desire he will fulfill homework, read or be creative. Adults, on the other hand, usually focus on the degree of comfort and a calm environment.
Ways to organize the workspace
If you still decide to allocate a balcony or part of it for a workplace, responsibly approach each stage of the arrangement. Insufficient lighting or uncomfortable furniture can cause carefully prepared square meters to turn into a dryer or pantry again. Should start with overhaul(if it didn’t exist yet), and finish with design.
Thermal insulation is the key to comfort and coziness
A priori, your balcony is glazed, otherwise a living space will not work out of it. However, one glazing is not enough, high-quality thermal insulation is also required so that the heat does not leave the room.
The walls are insulated with extruded polystyrene foam "Penoplex"
The choice of insulation material depends entirely on the winter temperature outside. Typically, foam boards, expanded polystyrene or mineral wool are used. They insulate all non-glazed surfaces, including the floor and ceiling - this must be taken into account when calculating the material. In addition to a heater, you will need vapor barrier film and material for the crate (timber or lining). The finishing decorative layer is chosen based on the material possibilities and the chosen style.
Wall and floor wood paneling
One of the options for thermal insulation of the floor on the balcony looks like this (from bottom to top):
- Concrete screed.
- Vapor barrier - membrane or film.
- Mats or rolls of thermal insulation in the crate.
- Leveling board or plywood.
- Floor covering (linoleum, tile, laminate).
If a concrete slab ok, you don't need to do a screed. Finishing the walls and ceiling occurs in the same order.
Insulation scheme with decorative trim plastic panels
Clapboard or plastic is usually used for wall cladding, but other options are also possible, for example, clinker tiles or ordinary plaster, followed by painting. Wallpaper is not recommended to be used, as in conditions high humidity and possible drafts, they can quickly peel off.
Lighting system
If subdued light is perfect for relaxing, then bright but soft lighting is necessary for fruitful work. On the one hand, the table and objects on it should be clearly visible, and on the other hand, the rays should not hurt the eyes.
Chandelier with daylight, installed under the ceiling
The advantage of a workplace on the balcony, where one wall is completely glass, is that during the daytime it is enough natural light. Even in winter, a window seat is considered bright enough and suitable for writing, reading, working at a computer or needlework. For evening work, the installation of lamps will be required.
Table lamp on a long dynamic clamp
Overhead light is good when it is located directly above the workplace. But if the chandelier is hung in the center of the loggia, and the table is set in the corner, a table lamp or lamp on a clamp, mounted on a wall or shelf, is required. The main thing is that the light does not blind the eyes and illuminates the working area - written or computer desk, Workbench.
A lamp with a shade creates a cozy atmosphere
But first you need to take care of the wiring. Usually a hole is drilled in the wall through which wires are thrown from the junction box of the living room.
Option for laying electrical cable to the loggia
Taking into account the fact that the balcony is completely protected from precipitation and temperature changes, the degree of protection of the lamps can be the same as that of their room counterparts - no higher than IP44.
Interior Design
There are an infinite number of design solutions for decorating the interior of a balcony, even if it is work room or an office. While drawing up a design project for organizing a workplace on a balcony, all issues related to finishing walls and floors, selection of furniture and fixtures.
Usually an office or workshop is finished in a neutral style close to modern minimalism. However, to give individuality to the room, elements of other suitable directions are often used.
Project in contrast
On the balcony, where there is a lot of light, welcome Scandinavian style: light, ergonomic, simple furniture, a minimum of curtains, snow-white or pastel walls. For a more status workplace, they choose solid classics: wooden wall upholstery, a leather armchair, a table made of natural wood.
It is convenient for a schoolboy or student to study at an inexpensive desk, but you will need a lot of shelves and drawers for school supplies, a place for a PC or laptop. The student's corner is difficult to attribute to any particular style.
Cozy place for a young schoolgirl
In addition to furniture, which should not be on a typical balcony, attention should be paid to window drapery. Thick blinds or curtains in the summer create a comfortable partial shade, while transparent curtains will not protect from the sun's rays, it will be impossible to practice.
Wooden blinds - strictly and nobly
Often tiles are used for flooring. If a "warm floor" system is mounted under it, then additional insulation not necessary, otherwise it is recommended to additionally lay a warm rug under your feet.
Nuances of workplace equipment
A place to work is a relative concept. For one, this is a comfortable computer desk with a chair on casters, for another - a small table with a comfortable soft chair, for the third - a workbench, near which you need to work while standing, not sitting. Each of them has its own characteristics and distinctive features. The rest of the situation in the room also depends on the purpose of the workplace.
Cabinet for office work
The office is also called the place of work of an adult who decides important issues and earns money at home, and a schoolboy's corner, where you have to write, read and print a lot.
In order for nothing to interfere with work or the creative process, it is necessary to create an appropriate atmosphere, which is characterized by such features as:
- neutral, calm colors in the decoration of walls and furniture;
- local full-fledged lighting in the table area;
- comfortable chair or armchair;
- ergonomics - everything should be at hand;
- silence.
The last point is provided by double / triple glazing and closed door into the room.
Homely cozy study area
If you are equipping a place where you have to write a lot or use a computer, you need a comfortable desk. A modern workplace for a schoolchild on the balcony implies the presence, in addition to a PC or laptop, of additional equipment: a copier, printer, scanner or MFP, which combines the listed devices.
Compact mini-office on the balcony with a set of office equipment and an aquarium
At the same time, materials that are not quite usual for an office may participate in the decoration of the walls. For example, to create an industrial-style setting, you can decorate the walls to look like concrete or brick.
Unexpected balcony loft
Girls are not characterized by overly strict canons in creating an interior, so a more lively gamut in design is quite appropriate, using indoor flowers to decorate the work area, and a lot of decor on the walls, shelves and wall.
Office project for a flower lover
Adults, as a rule, do not like to clutter up the room with unnecessary items in order to get a truly businesslike atmosphere as a result. Nothing should interfere with accounting calculations or the creation of a new engineering project.

Air conditioning in the workshop will avoid drafts
The balcony is a great way out. Using the extra space, you can make a real workshop, with a work table and cabinets, which will include hundreds of spools of thread, skeins of yarn, needle beds, blanks for decoupage and scrapbooking, paints and pencils, sets of beads and sequins.
