Summer in the city: how to arrange a balcony for rest
It is not necessary to leave the city toenjoy the summer - it's quite possible to invite the summer to your city apartment. More precisely, on the balcony. Designers recommend a few simple ideas for a stylish loggia decor.
Estimate the useful area. Most standard balconies do not have large dimensions, so your task is to save a maximum of free space. Use folding chairs, tables, armchairs, convertible sofas with additional drawers and steps, which, if necessary, can be easily removed. If the balcony is open - do not forget about the umbrella, canopy or thick curtains with special impregnation: they will provide extra comfort and protect from direct sunlight. Pay attention to the walls - they can be placed hanging structures with flowers and shelves.
Take care of the lighting. It is not at all necessary to design the layout of the electronic wiring on the balcony - it is enough to use stand-alone lamps. Decorative and garden lanterns, nightlights, colored garlands magically transform the space, adding to it the notes of special comfort.
Think about the style of the interior. Probably, you will like the "tropical corner" - then it's worth to get a couple of tubs with palm trees and rugs with exotic prints. For the "Turkish coffee shop" you will need colorful rugs and a filigree decorated chest, which is quite possible to do on your own. Beach Lounge? Why not: get light wicker furniture and textiles with "sea" blue and white stripes. Create and experiment - summer is waiting for you!
