Bedroom with balcony +75 photos of design and interior examples

A bedroom with a balcony is a rare occurrence, as the construction usually accompanies the living room or kitchen. There are such options in panel houses and the Khrushchev-Series D-25, P-111, P-44, P-44T. To get started is to understand the concepts of "balcony" and "loggia." The first means an open area on three sides, which stands on the facade of the building. Designed balconies for summer holidays. Loggia - a separate room, which is open only on one side and is also designed for leisure activities in the warm season. Both objects are mainly used as storage rooms. The rational use of the premises implies their improvement and design for the residential part of the apartment. This process is accompanied by difficulties, as the balcony plates have limits on the permissible load and not all parts of the window-door opening can be dismantled. For example, the "threshold" in houses of any type keeps the entire structure on weight, and its demolition can lead to a collapse. The design of a bedroom with a balcony is developed according to the standard principles of combining rooms. Let's talk about these rules further.

The advantages and disadvantages of combining spaces

The combination of a bedroom with a balcony has several advantages and is almost devoid of drawbacks. Among the advantages of the combined spaces note:

Improve natural lighting. A balcony or loggia lets in more sun rays than any typical window in the apartment.
Additional useful area. Even a tiny, narrow balcony will become a full-fledged functional area, which is so lacking in an apartment, where all platforms are already distributed and assigned to certain rooms.
The ability to create an original interior design, as the window sill and the former window-door kit with creative design always look outside the box.

Such an association has virtually no drawbacks. The only noticeable disadvantage can be only the “leakage” of heat from the bedroom and the penetration of cold through the balcony from the street side. This imbalance occurs only when it is poorly insulated.

The basic rules and stages of connecting the balcony to the bedroom

The whole process of association is conditionally divided into two stages:

Redevelopment and its coordination in various instances.
Directly the very design of the interior.

The first stage involves visiting numerous housing offices and architectural bureaus. First you need to prepare a project. Independently cope with this only professionals. For help turn to architects who have a license to conduct such activities. A professional for a fee will create a redevelopment project, if it is of course possible at all. However, he must take into account the maximum weight of the balcony plate. Initially, this structural element is not designed for glazing and insulation (we are talking about balconies, and not about loggias). Fortunately, it can be enhanced, which must be displayed in the project.

Then the folder with the drawings must go through the approval procedure. For this it is necessary to obtain consent in many instances: from the BTI to the Ministry of Emergency Situations. When the redevelopment is approved, proceed to repair. After it is completed, new measurements must be made that are added to the technical passport of the apartment. It is impossible to carry out independent re-planning without the coordination of its project in the commission. This is not only a direct violation of the law, followed by well-deserved punishment, but also a risk to the lives of all residents of an apartment building. Repair and interior design begins with glazing and balcony insulation. Then there will be finishing works, the choice of style, the installation of furniture and the decoration of a new small room.

The commission on re-planning will categorically refuse after consideration of the project, if the house is given the status of dilapidated housing or architectural heritage. You can also say goodbye to the idea of combining, if such work has already been carried out in other apartments, since the building has a certain margin of safety, which in this case can be exhausted.

Features of insulation and organization of heating

Before you attach an open balcony, it must be insulated and glazed. There are a number of nuances that concern structures of all types:

It is impossible to take out heating batteries outside the residential zone and connect them to the general system of the house. The way out of this situation will be the installation of "warm" floor and electric heaters.
In no case should the disassembly of the partition affect the supporting structures. This rule concerns the very threshold described above. Under no circumstances is it subject to demolition.
The load on the structure should not exceed the permissible, which are governed by building codes. For this reason, you need to choose only lightweight finishing materials and insulation.
It is forbidden to connect the "water" floor to the central water and heat supply.

Walls, floor and ceiling are insulated with light materials only. These include mineral wool, fiberglass, penoizol, polyurethane foam, foam plastic and a novelty of the past years - foam plastics. All materials are suitable for warming a balcony, but differ in cost, thickness and type in which they are sold (sheet, roll, liquid). As for the glazing, the best option would be to install double-glazed windows only from the front side, and it is better to turn the side frames into blank walls. The quality of natural lighting is not much impact, but the heat will remain better. Standardly on the balcony install plastic windows. Although in most cases they are white, there are models in which the surface of the frames imitates the wood of valuable species and is laminated in different shades.

Metal-glass windows are heavy, so professionals recommend using aluminum profiles. They are much lighter, have a pleasant aesthetic appearance and allow staining in any tone. In addition, aluminum windows for the quality of thermal insulation are not inferior to metal-plastic ones. As for the heating system, the professionals recommend using a modern infrared floor. It allows you to adjust the intensity of heating not only over the entire area, but also in certain areas. If one module fails, it is dismantled and replaced, without even shutting down the entire system. Infrared floor is energy efficient and easy to install. Additionally, on the balcony you can place a miniature fireplace - a stylish design element that will give the room a special comfort.

If the insulation is carried out with mineral wool, then special attention is paid to the quality of the layer of steam and waterproofing. In contact with moisture, this material loses its properties and becomes useless.

Room zoning

The issue of arranging the balcony zone is solved based on the needs of the apartment owners. If we are talking about a children's bedroom, then on this site you can create a workplace or a game room. When there are two children and everyone needs a personal space that is difficult to allocate in an area with a deficit of square meters, you can move one bed beyond the main part of the room and leave the second one in it.

The following solutions are relevant for adult bedrooms:

Study. The place has good natural lighting that will allow you to work comfortably during the daytime without resorting to the use of a desk lamp.
Workshop. Yes, it will be miniature, but with the proper organization of space and the use of numerous compact storage systems, you get a cozy room.
Greenhouse. What could be more beautiful than the winter garden right behind the window? Houseplants are not only beneficial to health due to the production of oxygen, but also delight the eye with its natural beauty.

Place to rest. On the balcony it is enough to put a small sofa or hang a hammock, set a coffee table, add a couple of decorative elements, and the room will become a cozy corner for leisure activities.
Library. If all the free space is filled with books, and next to put a chair, you get the original area for useful leisure.
Sports Hall. Large exercise machines will not fit into the balcony space, but the treadmill, dumbbells, punching bag and gymnastic ball will find a spot for themselves. Alternatively, in the same room you can do yoga.
Boudoir. If there is no place for a dressing table in a small bedroom, then the home “beauty salon” can be taken out onto the balcony.

In rare cases, this small space is completely arranged as a sleeping place, if its dimensions and shape allow.

Lighting

The central lighting on the balcony area will not look very aesthetic. The best option would be to install spotlights, which at the same time have mobility, that is, devices, if necessary, move. In addition to them, paired sconces can be placed on the side walls, and a couple of floor lamps and lamps can be placed on the table or floor.

Choosing a color palette

Due to the wide windows, the balcony has a very “soft” atmosphere. Since the space is small, this effect needs to be doubled by using a combination of white and warm shades. Standard colors include orange, nut, beige, sand, yellow, pink, carmine red, garnet, coral. Aquamarine, peppermint, olive, cornflower, sky blue, amethyst and emerald are added in small amounts. The use of cold tones should be strictly metered, so they are used in accents.

Interior ideas in various styles

It is necessary to combine only those zones that are stylistically decorated in the same way as part of the overall concept. An exception may be cases when using an eclectic potpourri or similar in spirit. In the majority of interiors, modern high-tech, timeless classics, compromise modern, exotic oriental motifs and homely Provence are used. These styles form the backbone of popular destinations. Let's talk in detail about each of them.

Classic style

Luxury classics on the balcony is not so often implemented. The fact is that this area needs a large space for the realization of chic ideas. Since brown is considered the base color in classical interiors (and its numerous shades), its pale colors are taken as the basis of the palette. Walls paste over with a wallpaper with a flower ornament. The ceiling is decorated with stucco, and the floor is covered with imitation wood. Windows curtain airy Roman blinds. Sofas and chairs on elegant, carved legs have luxurious upholstery or covers. From above they are covered with small pads of expensive fabrics of deep shades. In the decor, you can use antique clocks, creative wall lamps, framed pictures of baguette, mirrors, porcelain vases or carved boxes of wood.

Minimalism

Balcony in a minimalist style is made using white, gray, vanilla, terracotta colors. In accents apply cold shades. Furniture will need a minimum. For the working area is quite compact desk and office chair. Corner for rest is made with the help of a sofa, a coffee table and a system of hanging shelves. One accent wall can be sheathed with imitation of a stone or brickwork of a light shade. The bottom of the window sill is decorated with lighting, and a pair of white pots with potted plants are placed on its surface. Decorations this direction does not like. One picture, a vase or figurine, is enough. The windows are closed with blinds or stylish panel curtains. It is allowed to use fabric with an ornament or simple geometric shapes.

If cats live in the house, then the original solution will be the decoration of the former window sill (between the balcony and the room) with long pots with planted oats. The grass looks laconic, and at the same time the cats replenish their vitamins, periodically nibbling sprouts.

Eclecticism

Eclecticism is an extraordinary direction that is based on a stylistic potpourri. In this case, you can not just "pinch off" a piece of the classic, futurism, high-tech and mix them into a composition. Elements are selected in such a way that a unifying factor is present (texture, color, shape). Experimental interior balcony, where the loft is mixed, retro 70s and modern style, will include the following details:

Coffee-colored sofas with leather, smooth upholstery.
Accent wall with brickwork in shades of brown.
A series of paintings or photos come from the 70s.
Countertop instead of windowsill with a smooth, reflective surface.
Soft mat with a short nap on the floor.
Blinds on the windows instead of curtains.
Armada of colorful pads.
Original decorative elements: records for a gramophone, simple vases with bouquets, unusual lamps with sculpted legs.

To create an extravagant, fun, but organic interior, you need to decide on a link. Only after this select the details of the situation.

Modern

The modernist interior welcomes wood in all forms. In order not to load the structure with an array, high-quality imitation of a natural material is used. The walls are covered with wallpaper with smooth patterns. The ceiling can be decorated with painting. The furniture is made of wood and decorated with neat carvings. Instead of bulky chairs use wicker chairs. The surface of the sofa is covered with upholstery with a rich pattern of gold color, which is in harmony with the basic shade (walnut, copper, sepia, vanilla). The windows are covered with luxurious curtains of a deep chocolate tone with numerous folds, elegantly flowing along the entire length of the canvas. The décor uses framed paintings imitating bronze, vases of flowers, and elegant lamps of original shapes.

High tech

The high-tech balcony is decorated in calm-neutral colors using white and gray. One of the walls is decorated with artificial brick. If the placement of storage systems is planned, it is better to use a narrow, corner cabinet of a “camouflage” light shade. The windows are closed with two-color roller blinds, in which the “front” and “wrong” sides are painted in contrasting colors. One of the side walls is decorated with a series of copyright pictures or abstract paintings. Furniture use is simple and practical. It is acceptable to use non-standard, futuristic forms.

Eastern destinations

In the eastern interior walls are decorated with ceramic tiles. In our case, it is better to use lighter plaster, which can then be decorated with painting. In this style organically look groups of lamps in a metal "frame" and their combination with candles. It is possible to refuse a sofa in general, simply having made a floor numerous pillows. For these purposes, set up a special podium. The interior uses luxurious, natural fabrics with sophisticated floral patterns. Windows curtain with light, translucent curtains. The decor prevails antique vases, hookahs, plates, boxes of wood and metal with Arabic script on the surface.

Conclusion

Even the owners of three-room apartments sooner or later become cramped. This problem is especially acute for those families in which children appear. Balcony can really be a little salvation from a difficult situation. The main thing is that its design is in harmony with the design of the adjacent room, and they smoothly flow into each other.
