The balcony is part of the home,
many people happily bought a house with a large balcony, thinking that it could open up a new world, and the worst was also a huge treasure storage space (beautiful and tidy). As a result, I didn't live for long. The balcony was full of sundries, and I felt that my home was getting smaller and smaller.

regarding the balcony design, Shi Mei has two mature suggestions:
1. Make the balcony a part of home and a room instead of a neglected corner;
2. You must think clearly about the function positioning of the balcony, which is directly related to the final high utilization rate.
Balcony is the most easily abandoned space by Chinese families. Many people forget to connect the style of the balcony with other spaces in the home when designing. Most people are holding a kind of attitude of pulling away from their fans, decorating and arranging this piece randomly, which directly leads to the split relationship between the balcony and the whole home.
In fact, the balcony is not only used for storage, but also can be set by other people.

1. Create a washing area
now many people will put the washing machine in this area when decorating, so it is more convenient to dry the clothes directly. Moreover, many people like to plant some flowers and plants in this area, and designing the washing area here is more conducive to daily watering.

2. Make a study
for families with small indoor area and no study, the balcony area is suitable for office study. The light here is bright and good for work, and the ventilation is good and the oxygen is sufficient, which is more conducive to learning. Families with children at home can also facilitate parents to accompany and monitor.
3. Make the bar counter
there is a bar counter at home which is romantic and fashionable. It is better to put it on the balcony than to design it in the restaurant. In this way, we can enjoy petty bourgeoisie taste while watching TV at ordinary times, or enjoy a cup of coffee facing the beautiful scenery outside the window is also a very pleasant thing.

4. Make a tea room
for families with small living room area, we can also make the balcony a bay window. In this way, it can be used as a tea room at ordinary times. If the sofa cannot sit down during the gathering of relatives and friends, guests can still sit in this position, that is, it does not affect each other's chatting and can also give guests a sense of elegance. In addition, if a friend wants to stay overnight and there are not enough guest rooms at home, it can also be used as a temporary lounge.

5. Balcony living room integration
in order to increase the space and utilization rate of our living room, the best design method of balcony is to connect with the living room, which can not only make the living room look brighter but also have good ventilation effect. In addition, there is no track without sliding door of the ground, and cleaning is easier.

although the balcony design is good and practical, because this area is different from other indoor spaces, we should pay attention to three points during construction.
No. 1 do not put heavy objects
some houses have different building structures. The ground here is relatively weak, so we should not put too heavy items here during decoration, so as not to increase the burden on the ground and make the balcony sink.
No. 2 hydropower transformation
some balcony developers of new houses have not arranged the water and power supply in advance, so if we want to make this place into a washing area, we must plan the water roads and circuits before starting construction. Especially the drainage pipe, rain pipe must not be used for launching, which will not only damage the environment but also be punished by the property.
No. 3 coating waterproof
although some people do not intend to make the balcony into a washing area, because the location of the balcony is easily affected by the external environment, the walls and floors are easily affected by moisture. Therefore, we should remember to waterproof the walls and floors of this area during construction, which can not only prevent the problem of water seepage in the future, but also prevent moisture from invading the room.
