Should the balcony and living room be connected? In fact, 99% of the owners don't understand.

When people are decorating a house, they will suddenly have some ideas about various parts of the house. Sometimes I feel that the layout is unreasonable or I don't like it, so I made appropriate transformation during the decoration. In many cases, there is a partition wall between the living room and the balcony, but should the balcony be decorated with the living room? Now this problem is a big problem that many people are trying to solve, and there are many controversies. Therefore, Bian Xiao will introduce some related knowledge to you today.

First, under what circumstances do you want to get through the balcony living room?

Owners who plan to pack balconies into the living room are usually inseparable from the following three reasons:

The first type: the living room is too small and the activity space is small. Opening the balcony living room will help to increase the range of activities of the living room. If the living room is big enough, don't blindly follow the trend, it's unnecessary.

The second type: there are two balconies at home, which connect the viewing balcony with the living room, which has a stronger overall sense and is convenient for space planning. If there is only one balcony, you should consider living functions such as drying clothes, which is not suitable for getting through.

The third type: poor lighting in the living room, connecting the balcony and the living room to increase lighting. This design can obviously improve the overall lighting effect of the living room. If the lighting in the living room is ok, there is no need to change it.

Second, the balcony is open.

Advantages:

1, the living room becomes more spacious and bright. The field of vision becomes wider.

2, good lighting, direct sunlight to the living room, using sunlight to play a very good bactericidal role in the room.

3. Conducive to air circulation and good heat dissipation.

4. Putting a sofa will be a good platform for relaxing, enjoying sunshine and breathing fresh air.

Disadvantages:

1. After the balcony is opened, the lack of ash-blocking windows can't effectively block sandstorms, rain, etc. And the security cannot be guaranteed.

2. If you choose to open the balcony to wash clothes and dry clothes, you will see the clothes on the laundry pool and hanger at a glance, which will affect the appearance. If you don't want to affect the appearance, you must install curtains.

3, it will make the cost of air conditioning higher and the cost of decoration higher.

4. If you choose to open a balcony, you need to first consider whether the balcony with a wall in the middle is a load-bearing wall and a shear wall, and whether it is a wall shared with neighbors. It is necessary to communicate with the property first, and then remove it after the property and professional decoration personnel confirm that it can be removed. Otherwise, it will not only waste your own financial resources and hard work, but also affect the neighbors' occupancy, and even make the property trouble you and let you mend the wall again.

Third, the balcony is not open

Advantages:

The balcony is not open, which is the decoration method that most people will choose to make full use of the practicality of the balcony. In this way, the balcony can also be designed as a practical laundry room, study room or storage room, etc.

Disadvantages:

It is much worse in aesthetics.

Fourth, the following points should be considered before Kaiyang stage.

1, drying clothes

Many people use balconies to dry clothes. If they hang all kinds of clothes after opening, underwear will not look good. So it is best to have a separate place to hang clothes, and you can consider opening a balcony.

2. Energy consumption problem

If there is a sliding door between the balcony and the living room, there are two spaces. If it is opened, the space will become larger and the energy consumption will increase, especially in Shanghai, where there is no air conditioning in summer and no collective heating in winter. If the bedroom balcony is open, the windows must be made of materials with good heat insulation performance, the curtains should be thicker and the air conditioning power should be relatively high.

3. The sound insulation effect becomes weak.

Without doors, the sound insulation effect will definitely weaken. If it's next door, the noise is usually quite loud, so be cautious.

4. Carrying capacity

This is very important. Let's see if it is a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing wall cannot move.

5. How to install a balcony with a broken partition wall?

1, balcony leisure area

The balcony is integrated with the living room, so the beauty should be considered when transforming into other functional areas. Transforming the balcony into a leisure area is one of the simplest and most beautiful ways.

2, balcony small study

In addition to transforming it into a leisure area, you can also spend more time transforming the balcony into a small study. In the recess between the living room and the balcony, a wall-mounted bookcase was built, equipped with office tables and chairs, and there were lights and models in the small study. The balcony is transformed into a small study, which is very practical. You don't need to find a place to do the study. However, the balcony should be transformed into a study, which should be waterproof and sun-proof.

3. Balcony Bar

The romance of life can be shown in the details. On the balcony of the living room, making a small bar with a half-height partition can make the home more romantic. Mini-bar takes up a small space, just a space about 30cm wide. With the beautiful chandelier, the mini bar has a big mood.

The above article is all the knowledge about whether to decorate the balcony and get through the living room compiled by Bian Xiao. I hope I can bring you some help. Whether the living room and balcony are connected or not has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is impossible to do everything well. As for whether to open the living room and balcony, it depends on your own preferences. If it is just for the sake of beauty, it can be opened completely, but it will lose the practicality of the balcony after opening.
