The balcony is an extension of the living space. Although the area is not large, it can be used for drying clothes, planting trees, sightseeing or as a relaxing corner. Many people think that renovating a balcony will be costly, but in fact you can completely beautify this space at a reasonable cost. It is important to know which items do not require too much investment.
For example, wooden flooring. Wooden flooring is beautiful and creates a cozy feeling, but it is quite expensive and not really suitable for balconies, places that are frequently exposed to sun, wind and humidity. Compared to wooden flooring, tiles have many advantages such as good water resistance, lower cost, ease of cleaning and durability when used outdoors. In addition, if wooden flooring is of poor quality or not treated well, pollutants may arise in the house.
Another item that does not require too much investment is the balcony ceiling. Complex decorative ceilings often appear in high-end spaces, but the cost is high and may not be suitable for balconies. Too thick or cumbersome ceiling design also causes entanglement when installing drying racks and creates a cramped feeling.
With a regular balcony, just a simple anti-humidity gypsum ceiling, and light decorative edges can be added to ensure aesthetics without reducing the height of the space. If the balcony connects to the living room and is used as a relaxation place, you can consider a more beautiful design depending on your needs. However, you should avoid installing elaborate crystal chandeliers or hanging lamps, as they are not suitable for the characteristics of an open space and are easily affected by the weather.
