If your apartment has a balcony or loggia, for sure, you have repeatedly thought about their design. Someone turns them into a continuation of their apartment, using glazing systems, and someone will equip a separate room on his balcony or loggia-a kind of island for relaxation, where you can conveniently get a sofa with a cup of tea or coffee, dinner or just sit with an interesting book. For this, various decorative elements are widely used – flowers in elegant pots or original boxes, comfortable sun loungers, wicker chairs and much more.
Balcony and loggias: landscaping
If you decide to green your loggia or balcony, you should take into account not only the illumination of this space, but also the side of the world, which will allow you to plant those flowers that will grow well there.
It happens that there is a need to close the balcony from the penetration of direct sunlight. In this case, you can use a special visor or land on the balcony weaving plants that will become excellent protection from the sun for other plantations and create the microclimate they need on the balcony. If your winter region is harsh, then it is necessary to glaze and insulate the loggia. Then there you can organize a real flower greenhouse.
Boxes for flowers and plants can be placed on the balcony in different ways. The most successful, from our point of view, the option is the use of two and three tier locations. This location of the boxes will save the space of the loggia as much as possible, while a huge number of colors can be planted on the balcony. When installing colors for colors, make sure that they are securely fixed.
Balcony and loggias: furniture
It is possible to come in handy here graceful wicker furniture, folding tables, armchairs and chairs. Do not clutter up the balcony with heavy massive furniture, since it not only “hides” the space, but also, carrying an additional load on the design, can cause great troubles.
Decorating loggias and balconies
If the area of the balcony allows, you can equip a small fountain with a waterfall or equip a miniature alpine slide. You can do this using ready -made decorative elements, or you can simply collect stones of various sizes and bizarre shapes and arrange them in an original way.
No less important when decorating a balcony and proper lighting. Install the lamps so that they focus on the beauty of green spaces.
If there are children in the family, you can equip a small gaming corner for them on the balcony: pull a dense fabric on the fences, put small pillows on the floor, bed soft rugs.
