What are the main points of balcony decoration

The balcony is a transitional space between indoor and outdoor. It is an ideal place to breathe fresh air and bathe in warm sunshine. Standing on the balcony, people can either lean on a railing and look far away, or they can dry clothes, grow flowers and grow grass, which will add a leisurely taste to life. So, what is the best way to decorate the balcony?

1. The decoration of the balcony

Nowadays, almost every household has one or two balconies. In different houses, although the balconies are different in width and size, there is better than nothing. When considering room decoration, don't forget to beautify the balcony. Ventilation, ventilation, lighting, cooling, drying clothes, drying clothes, etc., are naturally some of the functions of the balcony. But in addition to these, potted flowers and plants embellish life more beautifully, and are also an important potential function of the balcony that cannot be ignored. In order to prevent sunlight in the midsummer season, a relatively solid textile can be used to make an awning. The awning itself not only has a decorative effect, but also shelters the wind and rain. The awning can also be made of bamboo

Curtains and curtains. The awning should be made to roll up and down or retractable, so as to adjust the area, position and angle of sunlight as required. At the same time, the room on the balcony side can be protected from strong sunlight, forming a comfortable environment for indoor work and rest. For the balcony for rest and dining, a small amount of furniture is still necessary. Since the area and load-bearing capacity of the balcony are limited, the furniture on the balcony should be light-weight folding furniture.

The balcony is the most suitable place for family breeding of various flowers and plants. Potted plants can be placed on the balcony railing, but safety should be paid attention to, and guardrails should be added to prevent the flowerpot from falling and hurting people. Can also be set perpendicular to the rope, plastic pipelines, planting grapes , climbing tiger and other plants with a climbing performance on the one hand beautify the balcony, but also play a role in blocking the sun in the summer season. In addition to green plants and flower boats that can play the role of decorating the balcony, the side walls and ground of the balcony are also the focus of decoration and beautification. For example, ornaments such as ceramic wall hangings, hanging plates, sculptures and so on can be hung on the neat and tidy side walls, and some partition walls can also be made into the form of bogu racks for placing decorative utensils. On the smooth and elegant wall, you can also hang woven fabrics made of seven, grass, reed, brown, hemp, corn husks and other materials as decorations. The floor of the balcony can be decorated with old carpets or other materials. Increase the comfort when walking.

If the balconies need to be fully enclosed and arranged as children’s bedrooms or study rooms due to the tightness of family housing, it is necessary to make a clever design to make it both practical and beautiful. Even if the balcony is used as a storage space for the family, it is necessary to design the decoration and furnishing methods according to the actual situation and balcony conditions. Avoid "indoor and outdoor double sky" because it does not match the interior decoration and looks nondescript. In the houses currently built, there is generally no lighting on the balcony. At night, the balcony is covered in darkness, so a balcony light should be installed on the balcony. If there is a wall between the balcony door and balcony window, you can install a wall lamp. The installation height should be 1,8-2 meters from the ground. The material of the lamp should be glass lamps that are not afraid of sun and rain; if between the door and the window There is no partition wall, and a ceiling lamp with a floating white cover can be installed at the bottom of the upper balcony board. Because the balcony lights are only for lighting during rest, they don't need to be too bright, and the light switch should be installed indoors.

2. Use of balcony

The balcony is an extension of the building's interior, as well as the transition between the interior space and the exterior space. It is a place for residents to breathe fresh air, dry clothes, and put potted plants. People can communicate with nature without leaving their homes. To use the balcony, you must first pay attention to safety, and you can't pile up heavy debris on the balcony. Flower pots should not be placed on the countertop of the balcony railing.

So as not to accidentally fall and hurt people. In order to facilitate the drying of clothes, clothes poles can be placed horizontally on the beam hooks above the balcony, or a drying rack can be extended out of the balcony. There is a manual elevating drying rack on the market. The pulling rope can be put down to hang and collect clothes. The pulling rope is tightened and the drying rack rises to the upper space of the balcony without affecting people's activities on the balcony, which is more convenient. You can also install some simple and portable fitness equipment on the balcony, and use the balcony as a place for fitness and entertainment. In addition, owners with tight housing often change the balcony to a small study, small bedroom, and children’s room. To decorate the balcony into a bedroom, it is best to put away the bedding during the day, so that you can give full play to the multi-functional role of the balcony.

Whether the balcony is closed or not depends on its own. Analyzed by the function of the balcony, the closed balcony means the loss of the original use function of the balcony, especially the south facing balcony. The enclosed balcony merely expands the indoor use area. In the event of an accident, a good lifesaving channel will be lost. No matter what you do with the balcony, the quality of the balcony's packaging will determine everything. If you compare the aluminum alloy windows on the balcony with the equivalent doors and windows on the wall, it is obvious that the quality requirements of the former are much higher than those of the latter. Because the balcony is volley on three sides and wind blows on several sides, its force is much greater than that of ordinary windows. In addition, when designing some balconies, the future packaging of the balcony was not considered, and there was no place for the sash to "stay" on the top of the balcony and the guardrail. Therefore, improper installation is prone to accidents. If the balcony is not well sealed, it will leak in the cold winter, which will reduce the indoor temperature; if it is windy, a lot of dust will get into the room; the most annoying thing is that when it rains , the sealing is not tight . The windows will leak and wet things on the balcony. Therefore, the quality of the balcony packaging project is very important and will be related to future use.

3. Greening of the balcony

Greening the balcony can not only beautify the living space environment, but also help improve the microclimate of the indoor space. In the corner of the balcony, you can set a flower trough or a flower pot stand. According to the local climate and personal preferences, various flowers and trees are planted. The types of flowers and trees include evergreen bonsai and seasonal flowers; both verdant leaves and drought-tolerant bulbs; some are soft hanging, some stretch and extend; some can be ornamental flowers and leaves, and some can be It bears fruit and forms a small garden. For summer sun shade, you can plant morning glory, honeysuckle, grapes, etc., and pull a string on the east or west side of the balcony to let them climb up to form a green barrier, which not only forms a three-dimensional greening, but also reduces the indoor temperature . On the north balcony, you can also place some shade-tolerant plants such as Dieffenbachia, Clivia, Orchid, Four Season Sea Clothes, etc., which will make the balcony look extra fresh, elegant and quiet.

4. Drainage of the balcony

Unclosed balconies will incur a lot of water in case of heavy rain, so when decorating the ground, consider the horizontal inclination to ensure that water can flow to the drainage hole and not allow water to flow against the room. The installed floor drain should ensure smooth drainage.

5. Material selection for balcony decoration

Packaging materials: There are two main materials used for balcony packaging, one is aluminum alloy, and the other is plastic steel profile. Aluminum alloy is currently the most widely used decorative material, and the product quality and construction technology are relatively mature. But look for a regular construction team when decorating, so as to avoid shoddy, cutting corners and other problems. Plastic steel profile is an emerging decorative material in recent years. Compared with other door and window materials, the heat preservation and heat insulation effect and sound insulation and noise reduction functions of plastic steel are about 30% higher. If combined with double-layer glass, the effect will be greatly improved.

Floor material: If the balcony is not encapsulated, you can use anti-skid tiles with good waterproof performance; if the balcony is encapsulated and connected to the interior, you can use the same floor decoration materials as the interior. But if you want to dry your clothes on the balcony, anti-skid floor tiles are the first choice.

Wall and top materials: for the same reason, if the balcony is not encapsulated, exterior wall paint can be used; if it is encapsulated, interior wall latex paint can be used.
