Cabinet on the balcony or loggia: pros and cons

Balcony or loggia is in any modern apartment, but, almost always it is small, but, very effective area We are not used so correctly and rationally, as I would probably, the stereotype is triggered: the balcony of the storage room. But, this is not the case, a balcony or loggia is perfect place for creating sports corner For children or mini sports hall for adults, small summer cuisine, beautiful winter Garden Or so necessary modern man - separate working area, work office.

It is about the desktop on a balcony or loggia we will tell you more.
Why is the balcony or loggia choose as a place to organize a working area? Consider all the pros and cons.

Pros from the placement of the working office on the balcony or loggia:

- Illumination: Balcony or loggia are equipped with large quantity The windows, therefore, in the bright time of the day solar, natural, light prevails as a light source. And given the fact that the natural light is very favorable for the eyes and in general, for the mental and psychological state of a person, then work in such an office will be pleasant, and productive.

- ventilation: Only in a well-ventilated room, the human brain can work at full capacity! And on the balcony or loggia contributes to this a large number of windows.

- Privacy:the balcony or loggia is usually places in the apartment with the highest removal from the hallway, corridors, in the depths of the apartment or room. Therefore, even when joining a balcony or loggia to the room, with a subsequent organization on it / her working area, some isolation remains, again, contributing to fruitful work.

The consumption and cost of transformation can be attributed to the cons conventional balcony Or loggia in a full-fledged office.

Cabinet on a balcony or loggia: where to start

Before starting any repairs in the apartment, you need to imagine the final result, in this case, how will be organized how to function and look like a working office on a balcony or loggia. And in order to make it right, you need to know what, in general, there are types of cabinets on the balcony.

By the way of organizing space, all working offices on the balcony or loggia can be divided into:

- separate:this is a full cabinet on the loggia, isolated from the main space room window block With the door. In this case, the design of the cabinet balcony can be different from the design solution of the whole room, to be more minimalistic and functional.

- Attached: In this case, a balcony or loggia is the working office, but not as an isolated room, but a part, the zone of that room, to which he is attached. In this case, the design of the office must perfectly harmonize with the design of the whole room.

By type of furniture used on the balcony, work offices on the balcony or loggia can be divided into:

- Stationary work offices: In essence, this is a real small office, in which there is all (tables, cabinets, shelves, computer, printer, etc.) and at the right moment.

- Mobile work offices on the loggia: Most often have the form of a working office on demand. Furniture in such a room on the balcony is arranged so that at the end of work, everything is easy, quickly and compactly moves, closes and hides, for example, in the built-in closet. A balcony or loggia continues to perform a completely different function: resting places, gym, etc.

Well presenting the office on the loggia of the design of which you know perfectly, you can start working on creating your office on the balcony.

Cabinet on Loggia: Stages of creation

Here are the main stages of the work office of the Balcony or Loggia and what you should pay special attention When implementing them:

1. Glazing: required condition To organize a cabinet on the balcony. At the same time, it is better not to save and put flockup windows of triple glazing.
2. Wiring: No working office can do without office equipment, and the working office on the balcony is no exception, i.e., we need outlets, as well as, additionally, artificial ceiling lighting and switches to it. To do this, you need to lay the shoes, and this is a dusty and dirty classes, therefore, it is worth performing on initial stage. At the same time, to save time, forces and means, it is worth removing the wires from the adjacent room, and the strokes are located on the wall separating the balcony and the room.
3. Warming: Depending on whether the balcony is or loggia, the degree and method of insulation of the floor, the ceiling and walls will differ. So, for insulation it is the balcony that will fit light, with high heat insulating properties materials, dry screed. But the loggia can be insulated more and the bay of the tie to the floor, but the walls and the ceiling are still insulated with mineral wool or polystyrene foam of necessary, for better thermal insulation, layer. Naturally, the insulation includes the organization of hydro, vaporizolation, so that condensate does not destroy the inner finish finish not only the balcony itself, but also furniture, as well as, office equipment, so necessary for a full-fledged work office, as well as chernovo finish moisture-resistant plasterboard or plaster.
4. Heating: Unfortunately nor good windows, not the same capital insulation will not be able to fully ensure comfortable work, both person and technology in harsh winter frosts. That is why it is necessary to take care of the heating of your balcony or loggia. As an heating device, they can act as electric heap floors (easy-to-install, but fairly costly during operation, if you do not take care of the purchase and installation of thermal sensors and thermostat) or stationary heating radiators made on the loggia (but for this you need to resolve the corresponding construction Authorities, the project is quite expensive and long, but economically and conveniently in subsequent operation.
5. Interior decoration: subject to all above the listed items, materials for interior decoration Cabinet balcony can be chosen completely any: laminate, decorative plaster, wooden or plastic lining, tile, wallpaper, etc., - what's more comfortable and more pleasant to work for you.
6. Organization of workspace: The working office is a working, comfortable, practical furniture. Given the fact that the balcony is not quite standard, then the furniture on it should be the same, i.e., made under the order, built-in (convenient and saving space).

Specialization: Master in the construction plasterboard structures, finishing works and styling outdoor coatings. Installation of door and window blocks, finishing of facades, installation of electricians, plumbing and heating - for all types of work I can give detailed consultation.

IN modern conditions everything more people They work remotely, but also those who go to the office every day, periodically arises to work at home. Allocate under such purposes separate room Maybe not everyone, but to equip the office on the balcony or loggia is much simpler. Yes, you will have to spend time and means, but you will have another full-fledged room instead of the place of storage of trash and seasonal things, you agree, this is a very big plus.

Pros and cons of this decision

If you still think about whether it is worth it to convert your balcony, then this small section will help you familiarize yourself with the benefits and disadvantages of such accounts and take a weighted solution.

Let's start with the advantages:

Additional useful space	This aspect I mentioned above, you will have a few more square meters of residential space, which can be used not only for work, but also for recreation. Just put the chair or a small sofa - and you have a recreation area in which you can relax with an interesting book or a cup of coffee
Good ventilation	For high productivity, it is important fresh air To the room, and there are no problems with ventilating on the balcony, you have enough to stretch your hand and open the window. Naturally, when installing windows, you must provide opening of the sash in the places you need so that you are minimally distracted during the work process
Good natural illumination	It is impossible to provide ideal working conditions without high-quality lighting. With this, there are no problems on the balcony, moreover, if the room is located with an eastern or south side, then you need to provide curtains or blinds to limit the flow of light in sunny weather. Organize competent artificial lighting It will not be a lot of work, because the area is small, and you need to highlight one or two places indoors.
Good working conditions	The balcony is most often at a distance from the kitchen, a corridor and other noisy rooms, it is very important for those who need silence. Here you can implement two options: either make the loggia combined with the room if you do not interfere with the noise, or put a good balcony unit, then you will receive a space that is most protected from noise from the outside

As for the shortcomings, then, in my opinion, there are only two of them:

1. If you have a balcony in a launched state, you will have to spend a lot of strength and money in order to make a full-fledged cabinet from it. Some such costs seem too big, but if you still caught fire like a similar idea, you can make work gradually, then you don't have to immediately invest a lot of money, and ultimately you will still get from personal Area;
2. Sometimes the balcony area is not enough for the equipment of the workplace. Personally, it seems to me that if you think everything and competently use space, you can fit everything you need.

The process of re-equipment of the balcony in the office

As you guessed out of the name, all the work consists of six stages, each of which is required to implement if you need an excellent end result. I will consider the process from scratch, that is, the most complex optionWhen you have open balcony or loggia without any glazing and insulation.

You need to familiarize yourself with the entire information below and simply skip the works that you can already be spent.

Stage 1 - glazing

If you have ordinary wooden Rama, it is better to replace them. Installation work is complex and responsible, so I strongly recommend to instruct their professionals, you also need to choose the optimal option.

If you choose, you must be guided by several recommendations:

• It is necessary to acquire windows with good thermal insulation indicators for middle strip Plastic structures with double-chamber windows are well suited. Single windows used on cold balconies, you will not fit;

• Modern manufacturers offer variants of different colors, if desired, the frame can be divided into a tree to give them more attractive appearance. Here you need to be guided only by your preferences, think that you like most, because you will have to spend a lot of time in this room;
• The size of the structures can also be different, some prefer to put options from the floor to the ceiling, and some, on the contrary, part of the openings are closed with deaf elements. It is necessary to take into account all the features of your balcony and, based on this, select the optimal solution.

When ordering windows, the biggest attention is paid to the manufacturer of the profile and the quality of fittings, it is better to use the products of Western brands, it is reliable and tested by time.

Stage 2 - Wiring Gasket

Cabinet is a room in which various office equipment can be installed, it is also necessary to high-quality. Therefore, it is necessary to resolve the issue with power supply in advance, it is necessary to take into account several important nuances:

• The wiring is best to output from the adjacent room to hide the cable, you can put it in the stroke, and you can close the finishing material. It all depends on how you will finish, in the first case you will need a perforator with a special peak, and in the second you need to use a corrugated sleeve in which the wire is placed and which is laid for outdoor decoration or in the insulation layer;

• It is necessary to think over the location of the switches, elements of lighting and sockets to make high-quality wiring. It is better to make an excess socket that will not be used later than to stumble on the extension or put the wire over the finish;

If you have an electric heating floor system, do not forget to bring the feed wire and on it.

• To confuse anything and do not make any problems to those who do not understand the electrician, I advise you to invite to connect the wiring and planning specialists. This eventually goes cheaper than the remission of the entire system or eliminate the consequences of a short circuit.

Stage 3 - Warming

Unfortunately, standard structures Most often do not provide due insulation of balconies, so you have to independently carry out work on insulation. The process is described in detail in one of the articles, so I will touch on only the main stages:

• External walls best insulate extruded polystyrene foam 5 cm thick. This is a very reliable material with high thermal insulation indicators, which is easy to use and allows you to achieve excellent result. To ensure the highest reliability, all the gaps and joints need to be filled with mounting foam, the excess of which is subsequently cut off;

• I advise on top of Penoplax to attach the foam - heat insulator of a new generation with a reflective layer. It has a small thickness (only 5 mm) and has high operational performance. And the presence of a reflective layer allows you to maintain heat much more efficiently, so your balcony will be still warmer and more cozy;
• Walls that do not go out, and fit to the neighboring loggia or house, you can insulate the layer of foam, this is quite enough. Mount is made using wooden Reques, jokes I advise additionally close the metallized tape to ensure maximum reliability;

• As for the floor on the balcony, it can be insulated different materialsAgain, I talked about some options in other reviews. Can be used polyfoam, polystyrene foam, mineral wool, and you can put the dry tie of the KNAUF. The last option is especially good if you need to raise the floor level by 10-15 cm and at the same time heat it;

• The ceiling is easiest to glue foam or extruded plates. As adhesive, you can use a special composition, and you can also apply and the usual mounting foam . For additional reliability, special dowels are used for thermal insulation, which have a clamping washer.

Stage 4 - Heating

Even the highest quality insulation will not help completely protect against winter cold, and if you spend your hands, you should take care of the heating of space, there may be a few solutions, you need to choose the optimal:

• If you want to put an ordinary heating radiator, then you will have to lead to the oversight organs first. Experts must carry out appropriate calculations, and if the design heating system Allows you to remove the radiator, then you will be allowed, you will also have to remake the project and only after that you can proceed to work. If everything works out, then you will have landed heating with minimal cost;

• You can use the electric warm floor, this option is good because it does not need to coordinate anywhere, and it is easy to implement. To work, you will need to purchase several ready-made modules that are spread over the surface and are connected as prescribed instructions. But this option is more costly due to the high cost of electricity, to minimize expenses, it is necessary to put thermostators so that they turn off the system when the desired temperature is reached;

• You can install an electrical radiator on the loggia that can be turned on as needed or equip the thermostat for maintaining the desired temperature . This solution is even easier, because you need to just attach or even put the design in the right place and connect it into the outlet. The main minus is the same as in paragraph above - a considerable cost of electricity;

• Modern solution is to use infrared heatersThey are attached to the ceiling and differ in the fact that they are not heated by air, but all the surfaces they are directed. Such designs consume a little energy, but perfectly heated small spaces, so they are suitable for balconies and loggias as it is impossible. They are easy to install, which is also important.

Stage 5 - Finishing Works

Sit in the shabby walls - not the best decision, so you need to hold at least redecorating. If all of the items described above are executed, we will have a well insulated and heated space, therefore, any finishing materials can be applied.

I will talk about those options that, in my opinion, is the easiest way to implement:

• Before making an office from the balcony, you must think through its color design. The main requirement - the situation should be such that it was comfortable to work in it. That is why S. color decor It is necessary to decide in advance so that it does not work so that you are annoyed bright or, on the contrary, too dark walls;
• For the floor it is best to use laminate, it should be put on the power even those who have never been engaged in similar works. An additional advantage can be considered the fact that on sale great amount Textures and colors, so you can choose the best solution for any environment. Price square meter It can be from 300 rubles and higher, it is better not to use the cheapest options, choose the products of at least the average price segment;

• As for the walls, then you are free to choose what you like. Can be used decorative plaster, You can apply the MDF panels or even, it also looks great. Very cozy working atmosphere can be created using cork coating, in general, the choice for you is the main thing that the situation has disposed of to work;

• For the ceiling the most optimal, in my opinion, the option is stretch design . Firstly, it is not as much and a lot, secondly, you will put it in literally in a couple of hours, and thirdly, dust and dirt and dirt almost not formed during work, and your finish will not suffer. Big choice The colors make it possible to issue a balcony as needed, and the elasticity of the material will exclude its damage when the temperature drops or the design movements.

Stage 6 - organization of workspace

If all of the actions described above are suitable for any balconies, regardless of what you want to do from them, in order to turn the room into the office, you need to properly furnish it and think over the location of all items.

It is about this that we will talk in this section:

• First of all, you need to think over the design of the office on the balcony, for this you need to decide which items must be present and that it will be necessary. You do not need to be a designer to deal with this task, on the Internet full photos, and you can find the perfect idea for yourself or collect the most interesting solutions from several concepts and create your own unique interior;

• Then you need to draw a sketch of the future cabinet, you do not need ideal lines and maximum accuracy. The main thing is to measure your space and calculate how much space you can highlight for one or another object. So you can clearly represent the end result and you will understand what needs to be purchased in order to make your personal account on the loggia;
• It is worth consider which elements of furniture will be needed to organize work. Someone needs many paper storage boxes, also requires the installation of a printer and fax, and someone can work on simple table with a laptop. Do not try to fill the space of furniture, you just need to use what it is necessary, it will be much more sensible, and it will cost cheaper;

If you want to use a balcony not only as an office, but also for other purposes, you can make a tabletop folding. When you need, you can lay it out, and the rest of the time it will not take place.

• As for the storage places, it can be both retractable boxes in the table and shelves on the walls. Choose what I like, but remember that the shelves and cheaper at the price, and put them much easier than to collect the table with drawers. The shelf size depends on what will be stored on them, so think in advance what you will be folded, and how much it will weigh;

• Lighting - another important aspect, better if you have as general systemand a separate lamp that will shine on workplace . The most convenient adjustable options or small designs located directly above the desktop. This is much more efficient and allows you to achieve the best effect;

• It is very important to provide and protect against sunlight if it will shine in the eye, then it is unlikely to promote work. The easiest to use blinds, if you do not like this option, you can choose Roman curtains or other similar option, the main thing is to be provided good defense from sunlight;

• It is necessary to purchase a comfortable chair, it should be approached by height to the table, do not clutch all the space. If you have a working area from two or even three sides, then the most convenient to use rotating options.

In principle, there is nothing complicated in the design, the main thing is that all the elements are combined with each other and ensure convenient operation. It is better to order furniture for individual sizes so that it fits perfectly into space, try to choose not massive, and light designs, in little room They will look much better. Use decorative elements To give the space comfort.

Output

Cabinet on the balcony - great idea For an apartment, you will get a quiet place to work, and your family does not have to walk on tiptoe, so as not to distract you. The main thing is to carry out all the work described above, so that it turned out a full room with good insulation and heated.

• Illumination: a balcony or loggia have a large number of windows,
  Consequently, in a bright day of day sunlight It will be the main source of lighting.

Cabinet on loggia

In most modern apartments Notes lack free spaceAnd at the same time it is increasingly necessary to equip the workplace or a full home office.

In such cases, the empty space of balconies and loggias comes to the rescue. Initially, these are open platforms that are little suitable for the role of an additional residential room.

And therefore, overhaul is carried out with such types of work:

• - glazing warm plastic windows (with double-chamber windows and energy-saving windows),
• - insulation of parapet by foam blocks,
• - insulation of walls, ceiling, floor and parapet sheets 5cm Polymplex,
• - vaporizoation of the room with a layer of foil foam,
• - Installation of additional heating (convectors, warm floor).

It will also require practical finish from environmentally friendly. pure Materials. As a rule, the cabinets are placed on small balconies and loggias, and therefore it is necessary to choose finishing materials in light Tones. They visually increase the available space.

• - the possibility of arrangement of specialized premises,
• - Not affected living space apartments
• - Nobody bothers on the balcony or loggia
• - Work at home is more efficient and cheaper than similar activities in the distant office.

Furniture on the balcony

If everything is clear to finishing and insulation, then certain problems arise with furniture for the office on the balcony. Finished models of furniture store Different with standardized sizes. This furniture can be placed in rectangular roomBut not on the loggia in the form of a triangle. In addition, only 1 cm of excess width will not allow you to install beautiful table or function cabinet. That is why it requires furniture on the balcony to arrange a cabinet on the balcony, made to order.

The advantages of such furniture are obvious:

• - Perfect observance of measurements,

Workplace Teenager on Loggia

Child who is learning at school required separate place For study. As a rule, in small bedroom It is simply not enough, and therefore it is quite logical to use the empty space of a balcony or loggia.

Arrangement of the working office begins with insulation and glazing warm windows. Then it is necessary to make overhaul, pick up high-quality finishing materials and install the electrical wiring.

The workplace should be equipped as close to the window as possible to provide the child the maximum level of natural lighting. Also, the workplace requires functional and comfortable furniture, which has enough retractable boxes and shelves.

But the most important thing is the height of the desktop must correspond to the growth of the child.

Residents big Cityliving in small-sized apartments, you have to be very inventive and use the maximum of every centimeter of residential space. At the same time, many often forget that they have a balcony, and store all unnecessary things or billets for the winter there. This approach is very impracticious, because at that very place you can arrange a zone for recreation, work or creativity.

One of the most practical options For busy people - to arrange a working office on the balcony. If you learn or work, then such a room will help you make a watch spent on a computer, more efficient. On how to organize 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 in order to re-equip it under the office. Determine 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 the organization there. Also, you should not arrange the workbook on a very tiny balcony, where you will even have nowhere to turn around.

But, of course, this designer solution has its advantages. Separate cabinet, even the smallest is an already great version of the working space. There you can retire and learn or work at your pleasure without distracting the conversations of family, extraneous noise and other external factors.

How to prepare a balcony

If, weighing everything for and against, you still decided to turn your balcony into a small home office, then it must be prepared. If you have an open balcony, for example, in the bedroom, then it must be glazed.Thus, you can use your working office at any time of the year, regardless of what the weather outside the window. You can use both cold and warm glazing method.

Ideally, the balcony also needs to be inspired.Heated it outside and inside, you will get a cozy space, where it will be nice to spend time even with winter evenings when outside the frost window. Exist various options insulation. On your balcony, you can use any of them from dense mineral Wat, Before a hermetic foam. All the gaps and openings should be treated with foam or sealant at least a day before you embody all your designer ideas into reality.

It is also desirable to supplement your room also a floor heating system. It is worth such a system is not so cheap, so if such an addition does not fit into your budget, you can limit just laying good laminate or carpet. They are pleasant to the touch, and cool in the cold time is not as fast as the tile.

According to the rules, central heating There is no balcony. Therefore, you will have to warm yourself. To protect against winter frosts, install a small electrical heater on the balcony.

Design

When the foundation of the Cabinet is ready, it is possible to go by arrangement. First, decide on the style. Best of all, such styles as classic, English or modern are suitable for the working office.

Due to the fact that the balcony is a very small and limited room, then you do not need to use too many all sorts of details that will only take free space. Such an attitude to decorative trifles is characteristic of all the styles listed above.

As known, light colors Help to make space visually wider. Therefore, bright colors are best used to decorate the balcony. Wallpaper in pastel colors, laminate from light wood and white ceiling Make your little room more cozy and spacious. The same result can be achieved by installing large windows. For the working office is hardly suitable panoramic glazingThat will be enough simple wide windows.

In a small space, it will be enough for only a few color accents, for example, a bright lamp, a photo frame or a flower in an unusual pot. Such an office will look at the same time and creatively, and quite officially, so it will be comfortable to work there.

In the working office, the right light plays an important role. Since here you will work with a lot of time with books, documents and a computer, then you need the light to be good, and did not spoil your eyesight. If during the day this problem is perfectly solved due to the natural light that falls inside through the windows, then to work at night or evening the day it is worth installing lighting devices on the balcony.

For example, you can install in the corner of the flooring, or lay a small on the table desktop lamp. Naturally, large chandeliers and volume luminaires on a tiny balcony there is no place. Therefore, limit into small lamps or lamps. It is also desirable to hang on the windows of a curtain or blinds to feel comfortable in the evenings. Blinds and curtains, like wallpaper, it is better to choose bright to create the illusion of free space.

Balcony space, in the presence of fantasy, you can use differently. If you seem to be an irrational simple litter of space with old things, then try to convert it to the working office. Establishing such small space In accordance with your requests, you will enjoy, get there behind the work. Inspire the ideas offered by us and examples of the design of other workspaces, and create your dream creative office on the balcony.
