Expanding living room space
With many small apartments, the interior space easily creates a feeling of crampedness and stuffiness. Connecting the living room with the balcony can help expand the living area, create a continuous view and make the apartment feel more spacious.
Increase lighting and ventilation
The living room is usually separated from the balcony by a sliding door. Although still ensuring natural light, this type of door can somewhat limit visibility and airflow when opened.
When the living room and balcony are connected seamlessly, natural light easily spreads deep inside. The space also becomes more airy by increasing air circulation, while creating a feeling of openness.
Expanding living area
The smaller the house, the more difficult it is to arrange additional functional areas. When connecting the living room with the balcony, this area can be flexibly used as a study corner, a place to read books, relax or play.
This arrangement both utilizes the area effectively and creates more living space without expanding the apartment area. Thanks to that, the areas inside also feel less overloaded.
Limit sanitation issues
One of the inconveniences of sliding doors is that the rails easily accumulate dirt. Small gaps in the rails are often difficult to access, making cleaning time-consuming and laborious.
If you remove the sliding door to create a direct connection between the living room and the balcony, the homeowner can reduce a dust-prone area and be more convenient in cleaning and tidying up the house.
