Need help to use all the space in my small balcony

8 years ago

Hi,

we have a very small balcony ( attached the dimensions in cm)

we quite enjoy sitting outside in summer time and we'd like to use it for storage in winter for drinks as well. So wonder if you have any creative ideas on how to use this small space for multi purpose?

Thanks

You can buy tables that hook on to the railing that fold away perfect for breakfast - lunch or G&T

And do you have any suggestions on what kind of storage I can have in the balcony to keep drinks etc?

Are you English? sometimes a small room can look bigger with all over pattern, say a toile or a floral,,repeat it on the walls, either upholster the walls and use it for drapes, or use the same pattern in a paper as in fabric. It will cozy up the room, and hide any quirks in the architecture. To put a small shade on the window is to draw attention to it and the fact that your bed is offside. Keep the bed it sounds nice. A small room like that wrapped in pattern is a delight I think.

I would grow one or two evergreens in pots so you have some winter interest and then, depending on how sunny your balcony is in summer, try some herbs as previously suggested and also tubs of edibles such as tomatoes and strawberries. Depends how much time you have to look after the plants. Things like pelargoniums are colourful and thrive on very little watering, but won't last through the winter.

If it was me, I would centre it and only silicone the back. I understand your concerns about water going down the side. Realistically, though, as you will only be washing your hands and maybe teeth in it, there is unlikely to be much water gushing about. To detract from the fact there is not as much space on either side of sink, I would have carpenter either wall mount or put legs on the cabinet so there is space underneath and the unit doesn't look too chunky!

Hi, we have a small spare room right under the roof (it is nota converted attic, the house was built like that in the first place). The room is 240 cm wide by 270 cm lenght. My dream would be to fit a desk and a chair / sofa bed but maybe I am asking too much? The door opens next to an in bult tiny wardrobe and there is a window on one side .... so essentially there are only 2 free walls and the ceiling is low and sloping for one side. Would have otherwise thought about a loft bed.... Any expert in designing tiny spaces? Btw the room is now used as a sort of laundry room... but I am ready to sacrifice the chores for a bit of art :). Thanks! C.

I have the following suggestions to
improve the usable space and add some storage.
- Use deck chairs, they are comfortable and don't take up much space, when not
  in use they can hang on a wall outside.
- If you converted the patio doors to bi-fold door you would have more
  space on the balcony. This would allow for shelves on pillars to left and
  right.
- These shelves could be used for potted herbs, plant mint and make your
  own home grown Mojito.
- In the alcoves I suggest that two raised beds, these could have storage
  underneath. Again they could be used for herbs or grasses which do well on roof
  gardens and balconies. Put them on casters if there is glass behind that
  needs to be cleaned.
- If you use same material on balcony as the
  lounge, it will give the impression that the balcony is part of the lounge
  and vice versa.
- If you need more info contact me at www.lavin,ie

Just a comment. Have to decide which way bi-folding doors fold as the consertina is bulky!
