The idea with the transfer of the kitchen to the loggia is visited by many people. Most often this is due to the fact that the total area of a one-room apartment becomes over time too small for a family in which children grow up. This extra room is a little more than a meter wide, but it's quite long. The working area of the kitchen is on your balcony. You release the old room, and you can use it as a living room or for other purposes.
How to transfer the kitchen to the balcony?
It is possible to do this, but several major obstacles will need to be circumvented:
- transfer of the water supply and sewerage system;
- solve the problem of connecting electrical household appliances;
- insulation of the floor and walls on the loggia;
- redevelopment of the project;
- transfer of ventilation;
- the possible replacement of old windows with newer, higher-quality, well-conserved heat;
- problems with housing inspection.
Kitchen on the balcony is real, but paperwork costs a lot of money and nerves. Supervisory authorities may prohibit the use of a vacant room as a dwelling. It is better to coordinate everything beforehand so as not to pay heavy fines. In documents it is better to call it a cabinet or give a different name.
The opening will look beautiful if it is decorated in the form of an arch or half-columns. You can put the "French windows" (from floor to ceiling). This is especially true in the case when the window unit is not part of the supporting structure. They will divide the room into two separate parts, but at any moment you open such a window and get a large common room.
Kitchen on the balcony interior
On the perimeter of the loggia it is possible to put pedestals or other furniture. Their upper part at the same time will be the working surface. Large tables or chairs here are unlikely to fit, they can restrict movement. In a small room will not look very hinged cabinets, from any cumbersome furniture is better to immediately abandon. Instead of them it is necessary to install small shelves, which you will not be disturbed here. Now when planning the working area or buying new furniture, you need to consider the small size of the balcony. The kitchen set should be as small as possible, but very functional.
Natural lighting here is usually good, but in summer you will come across another problem - heat. It will be necessary to take care to darken the room using stylish curtains or blinds. It would be nice to decorate such a kitchen on the balcony or loggia with live plants, a little reviving the interior of this small room.
