The lack of free space in apartments with a standard layout is a common problem. The idea to expand and add free zones by combining a small kitchen with a balcony is an original and functional solution that requires some preparation.

Save

What will combine the kitchen with a balcony?

• expand the boundaries of the kitchen area;
• make the interior of the room more original due to the non-standard shape;
• will increase the illumination in a natural way;
• will favorably affect the heat and sound insulation of the kitchen.

How to combine the main aspects of redevelopment

You should start changing your home by signing some permits and documents. The presence of such a list of documents will allow you to combine the kitchen with the loggia in a legal way:

• ready-made project-scheme of the planned redevelopment of the apartment;
• permits from the FRS, MVK, BTI, SES, State Fire Supervision and the architectural bureau;
• written consent of the tenants of the house;
• the final act of redevelopment.

Save

In the absence of free time, the work of collecting these documents can be entrusted to special firms: then the process will go much faster, but it will turn out to be more financially costly.

Save

An important point: when drawing up documents, you should first resolve the issue of demolishing the wall - if it is a carrier, then it will be possible to remove doors and windows, while leaving only the lower part (which was previously below the window sill). At first glance, this moment makes it difficult to expand the kitchen area, but in fact, the protruding part of the wall can be easily turned into a small bar counter or a place for a working kitchen surface. If the wall is not a load-bearing one, they will calmly allow you to remove it - in this case, the spaces of the two rooms will become one.

Insulation of a balcony / loggia combined with a small kitchen

There are the following options for insulation in the design of the kitchen:

cold glazing

In this case, glass is installed in a metal profile. Thus, the balcony will be completely protected from dust, dirt and noise, but this will not affect the room temperature in any way. It will be possible to use it properly only in the warm season. It is also possible to store some things here, while freeing up space in the kitchen.

Save

Partial insulation

In this case, the walls and floor are insulated with polystyrene foam, and a warm floor system is also additionally installed. Ultimately, the balcony will accumulate heat and become a full-fledged part of the common room. This option will allow residents to stay in their kitchen all year round, without experiencing temperature discomfort.

Save

Full insulation

With this scenario, the floor and walls are insulated with high quality, a separate battery for heating is taken out. This option is the most comfortable and preferred, but it is not suitable for everyone - in some apartments it is technically impossible to install a separate heating battery on the balcony. If you encounter this problem, the compromise is to install a self-contained electric type battery. The interior will not suffer if you choose a battery to match.

Combining dining room and balcony

We discussed in more detail earlier. This option is the most popular because it functionally separates the working area of ​​the kitchen from the place of eating and significantly saves financial resources.

Save

Bar on the balcony

Also, a simple combination option (especially with the rest of the load-bearing wall) - the protruding part is converted into a bar counter, and small wall cabinets are placed on the vertical slopes.

Save

Enlargement of the kitchen due to the balcony

In this case, the kitchen work area moves to the balcony - this requires a little more effort, since it becomes necessary to carry out all pipes and communications. But, despite the complexity, this option is functionally very convenient - for example, by equipping a washing machine on a loggia, among other household appliances, you can save space and get an additional surface for cooking.

Save

Design, or how to connect

Zoning can be done in different ways. Among the most convenient are the following options:

transparent doors

A great option if you need to turn an additional area into a separate room: on the one hand, the kitchen will become more lit, and on the other, the loggia will be isolated from elevated temperatures, steam and kitchen aromas. Having settled on such an option, it should be noted that in order to save space, sliding rather than opening systems are more preferable.

Save

arched structures

Arched structures will allow connecting the balcony to the kitchen. This is a very harmonious option if visually they are completely united, but at the same time there will be a division into functional zones. For a classic room design, you should choose arches with smooth, rounded lines, and for a modern design, square or angular curly shapes.

Save

Different floor levels, or how to visually enlarge the space

This moment is not necessarily subject to elimination - it can add originality to the design of the premises. If the floor on the balcony is much lower, then you can place a dining area there, and if it is higher, arrange the space as a kind of podium.

Design elements and furniture (photo)

When choosing and placing various interior items and furniture on the balcony, one should take into account the fact that its design has certain weight restrictions. For this reason, it is worth abandoning massive and heavy sofas (interiors with it were considered in the article), chests of drawers, etc. It is worth choosing the most functional designs from lightweight materials for your kitchen.

Save

In addition, you should consider:

1. Floor cabinets around the perimeter of the loggia can serve as excellent work surfaces, and if you make them slightly lower than the usual level, sheathe them with fabric and lay out soft pillows, you get a comfortable sofa.
2. If the balcony has panoramic windows, then you can slightly expand the window sill by converting it into a comfortable bar counter with an excellent view from the window.
3. If after the redevelopment there is still a shortage of free space, then the usual dining table can be replaced with an oval or round folding table near the wall.

Save

1. The outer walls of the loggia are a convenient place to place wall cabinets. It is better to make them open, since these structures will not visually “eat up” the space.
2. The choice of curtains directly depends on the style of decoration. However, if you have a desire to enjoy the picturesque view from the window, you should purchase

A balcony in the kitchen can be very useful if you use it rationally and wisely. This article will consider all possible options for using the balcony as an additional functional space for your kitchen.

The kitchen balcony is a huge help for the hostess. There you can store food in the cool season or cool hot dishes, as well as leave jelly and jelly to harden, for which it is very problematic to allocate space in the refrigerator, especially on the eve of the holidays. The presence of a balcony is a disadvantage for the kitchen only if it is the only one in the apartment: then the kitchen becomes a walk-through.

The interior design of a kitchen with access to a balcony largely depends on how it is planned to use the balcony space.

Repairing a kitchen with access to a balcony is a more complicated process than repairing an ordinary kitchen. Such a kitchen is considered more convenient and in order to make it as functional as possible, many resort to the idea of ​​​​attaching a balcony space to the kitchen. Also, the balcony can be used as an area for summer recreation, and if it is insulated, you can equip a beautiful winter garden on it.

The balcony, like the kitchen, is a fairly multifunctional room. If you combine the kitchen with a balcony, you can win in the kitchen space by expanding the room, but lose the additional space that is so necessary.

If you decide to preserve the integrity of the balcony, in order to fully access it, you will need to free up space, which can be priceless in a small kitchen. Installing a sliding door to the kitchen balcony instead of a traditional swing door can help save usable space.

To make a kitchen with a balcony as functional and aesthetic as possible, you need to remember the following:

1. Thinking over the interior design of the kitchen, instead of the window of which there is a balcony, it should be taken into account that the movement of cold air from the front door to the balcony door will create discomfort. Therefore, if possible, it is recommended to arrange the dining and working areas in such a way that cold air flows pass them and people in the kitchen do not stay in a draft.
2. If the balcony is insulated, it can be used as a cellar for storing blockages, you can equip it with a pantry with a small workshop for the owner of the house or a winter garden. If your apartment is not small and has enough space, an uninsulated kitchen balcony can be a great summer heat.
3. When renovating a kitchen with an adjacent balcony, use the same type of materials to finish them in the same style. This is advantageous because even if the rooms are separated by a balcony door, they will look like an addition to each other. In addition, in this way you can visually expand the area of ​​​​a small kitchen.
4. For the design of a kitchen with a balcony, the correct selection of curtains is of great importance. Washable fabric roller blinds attached directly to the balcony door and window will look stylish and elegant. The functionality of Roman blinds will further save space. If you have chosen fabric curtains for your kitchen, they can be made of different lengths: on the balcony door - to the floor, and on the window - to the level of the window sill. This will make the ceilings in the room visually higher and allow you to hide the balcony door.

• If you plan to include glazing and insulation of the balcony in your kitchen renovation, you can significantly save on installing a balcony block by dismantling the old structure and installing a bar counter or countertop in place of the window sill. In addition, this opening can be designed in the form of an arch or semi-arch.

Seating area on the balcony

The kitchen balcony can be turned into a small recreation area for the hostess by installing a tiny sofa, a cozy floor lamp and a TV there.

You can make the balcony a full-fledged place to relax by arranging its interior design in oriental, Chinese or Japanese style. Such an unusual interior for a kitchen balcony will go well with a modern or classic kitchen.

A balcony with a cozy seating area will perfectly complement the interior design of any kitchen.

If it is not planned to include insulation of the balcony in the repair of your kitchen, you can install a table for tea parties on it in the warm season. Morning cup of coffee or evening tea drinking in the open air will become more enjoyable if you make the open balcony aesthetically attractive by taking care of the exterior wall decoration and installing wrought iron handrails and lamps.

Balcony in the kitchen - winter garden

A well-insulated kitchen balcony can become a beautiful green garden that delights the eyes of the owners throughout the whole year. Not only ornamental plants can be grown on the balcony. Amateur gardeners may well use the balcony as a winter greenhouse, growing vegetables, root crops or greens on it.

If your choice has settled on the arrangement of a winter garden in the kitchen balcony, and you have not yet begun repairing the kitchen, the balcony can be fully glazed. This will add more daylight to future plants. A transparent door from the balcony to the kitchen will provide light to the room adjacent to the balcony. For the kitchen, a transparent door to the balcony will give the effect of the presence of plants in the room.

If the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe balcony allows, you can install a dining table or a table for tea parties on it.

Balcony - pantry

On the balcony adjacent to the kitchen, if it is insulated, you can make racks, which are not many for storing utensils, canned preparations or fresh vegetables and fruits.

In small apartments, as a rule, there are not enough storage rooms for storing things or working tools. Therefore, on the kitchen balcony, you can also install closed shelves for storing small items. To close the shelves with tools and various things, it would be more rational to install a wooden or plastic accordion door or sliding doors like a wardrobe.

A closed cabinet looks more neat and aesthetically pleasing than open shelves with tools.

Balcony - workshop

In small apartments, very often the owner has no place other than by the TV. An insulated balcony adjacent to a small kitchen can be made a heated full-fledged room. If you equip a workshop on the kitchen balcony, having harmoniously thought through the details of its interior, this will brighten up the loneliness of the hostess standing at the stove and add wonderful moments that families often lack for communication between households. It will be much more interesting for the son to design an airplane model together with his father in the workshop, watching his mother preparing a delicious dinner.

In order for the workshop to be in harmony with the style chosen for the design of the kitchen, you need to consider the following points:

• The desktop in the workshop can be equipped in the form of a closet with closing doors, which will hide the "work mess" in the absence of the owner.
• Shelves and hanging elements for storing tools are best made closed.
• It is better to choose the facades for cabinet furniture in the workshop the same as on the kitchen set.

Balcony - addition to the kitchen

You can transfer the work area to the balcony adjacent to the small kitchenette, almost completely freeing the room from kitchen equipment and leaving only a dining table there. The complexity of such a movement is in the transfer of communications and a small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe balcony, which will only allow compact installation of equipment. It is much easier and more rational to transfer a dining table to the balcony. If the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe balcony is small, you can install a folding table with folding chairs there.

In order for a small kitchen with a balcony not to seem cluttered, you can install most of the kitchen appliances on the balcony. If you remove only one refrigerator from the kitchen, the room will become much more spacious, and on the balcony the refrigerator will be in a small niche, and will not create the illusion of piling up. Having taken care of the electrical wiring in time, you can transfer a microwave oven, an electric oven, a coffee machine, a slow cooker, a bread machine and a double boiler to a heated balcony.

An association

The ability to combine a kitchen with a balcony will significantly increase the useful area of ​​​​a small kitchen, but a prerequisite for this is the insulation of the balcony and the installation of a heating system. By combining the kitchen with the balcony adjacent to it, you can significantly expand the working area or install a dining table in the resulting cozy corner near the window.

The opening remaining when combined can be decorated with an arch, semi-arch, left unchanged or ennobled with decorative columns - it all depends on the design of your kitchen.

If you do not demolish the window sill, you can install a countertop or a luxurious bar counter with hanging elements for storing dishes on it.

A kitchen with a balcony is an excellent field for action during the overhaul of the premises. In fact, there are more than enough options for the rational use of the balcony, which is located in the kitchen. Someone equips a study there, someone - a living corner. The choice may depend on the needs of the family and your imagination.

Examples of a kitchen with a balcony (photo)

A small kitchen with a balcony can be very functional. Various design solutions will help to beat a small space and use every millimeter to good use.

layout

First of all, it is worth deciding on the difference between a balcony and a loggia, since this is important in terms of load distribution.

The balcony is a slab, which is embedded in the wall at one end. A loggia is a structure resting on a foundation. Thus, the loggia has a greater bearing capacity and opens up wide opportunities for arranging the territory.

It is not worth transferring a working area or a dining room to the balcony, even if space permits, since it is not intended for such overloads, and the result can be disastrous.

It is not necessary to immediately resort to drastic measures - the demolition of the wall separating the kitchen from the balcony; for such decisive actions, the coordination of the relevant authorities is required.

You can simply insulate the balcony and decorate it in the desired style, and beat the exit to it beautifully. Curtains will come to the rescue in this decision.

Curtains in the interior of the kitchen with a balcony

Modern roller blinds or Roman blinds will fit well into the interior. In order not to burden an already limited space, it is better to give preference to options that let in light. They can be plain light, barely noticeable. White or beige are versatile and will easily fit into the interior of almost any kitchen.

Bright, matching the facades of the kitchen set or contrasting with it, emphasize the individual design of the kitchen.

In addition to plain options, curtains with a pattern are widely represented - floral prints or textured ones.

One of the criteria for choosing curtains for the kitchen is the quality of the material from which they are made. Higher demands are placed on kitchen materials, as there is high humidity and splashes of grease. The fabric should not absorb odors and grease, or should be easy to wash and withstand repeated cleaning.

Plastic blinds do not lose their relevance, natural wooden blinds are also gaining popularity. Another option is bamboo roller blinds. Such materials are easy to care for, they can be repeatedly wiped and washed. The tree looks interesting in the interior, but is not suitable for any design.

For a bright glossy kitchen set, plastic blinds are better suited. They can be both horizontal and vertical.

In the classic version, tulle and curtains will help to add sophistication to the interior. The use of lambrequin gives completeness and completes the design. In order not to visually reduce the kitchen and the height of the ceilings, it is better to give preference to less massive options.

In the kitchen, a lambrequin can be used even without curtains, which can interfere and get dirty. It will beautifully frame the window and exit to the balcony.

Ideas for using the territory

Despite its small size, the balcony is a very functional part of the apartment: here you can store tools, seasonal items, pickles and just go out for a breath of fresh air. By attaching a balcony to the kitchen, you can lose these amenities if it is the only one in the house. In this case, it is better to beautifully arrange an exit to the balcony, but keep its functionality.

Features of the kitchen with a balcony

• Curtains play an important role in the design of a small kitchen with a balcony. Rolled, Roman or standard fabric - it all depends on the chosen project.
• The kitchen with a balcony can be drafty. In order not to chill the household, it is worth warming the balcony well. Balcony doors and windows must be tightly closed.
• A swing door requires a place to open. Replacing it with a sliding one, if the design of the opening allows, will help save kitchen space. For such a door does not need a place to open, it just moves to the side.

A transparent door will erase the barriers and add light to the kitchen. This option is especially suitable if the kitchen has a large window to the balcony.
• The insulated balcony can be used as a place to store pickles and jams. You can store tools on it and even equip a mini-workshop. And you can place flowers and the apartment will have its own small garden.

Balcony for relaxation

The balcony can become a separate corner of relaxation from the hustle and bustle of the home. To arrange a zone for relaxation and rest, you can place a cozy chair on the balcony, hang a wall lamp or put a floor lamp. Shelves with books or a small TV will be useful. For lovers of needlework, the balcony can become a place for creativity. In a cozy chair, you can knit socks to your favorite TV series.

On the workbench it will be convenient to make things necessary for the house.

To make the balcony look well-groomed, it is better if the shelves are closed. In order for the workshop to successfully fit into the interior of the kitchen, it is worth decorating the facades of cabinets in the same style.

Going out onto the balcony on a summer evening, it is pleasant to enjoy a cup of delicious tea, the fragrance of flowers and a warm breeze.

rational balcony

A winter garden or a recreation area is tempting and beautiful, but it may not be rational in a small apartment where every centimeter counts. In this case, the balcony can serve as additional storage space. And to avoid clutter, you just need to equip the shelves. For small things it is better to use beautiful boxes. You can store anything: edible blanks, household appliances, tools. To make everything look neater, you can make closed cabinets, and in order not to burden a small space, it is better to make the doors carved.

One whole

If you want to not only use the balcony as a pantry or winter garden, but to increase the usable area of ​​​​the kitchen, then, having received permission, we dismantle the wall.

One option is to remove the window and combine it with the doorway. The window sill is decorated in the same style with the kitchen. Design and use options may be different:

• additional workplace, you can make a U-shaped work area;
• bar counter;
• as a dining table.

On the loggia you can place a refrigerator and several shelves for household appliances. The cardinal option is to completely demolish the wall, combining the kitchen with the loggia into a single space. On the loggia you can arrange a dining area.

50 ideas for planning and designing a kitchen with a balcony:

A kitchen design with a balcony is a space that will update the design and expand the incorporation. Most of us live in standard small-sized apartments, in which there is practically no free space to create a unique style. Especially the lack of space is felt in the kitchens. The main goal in arranging this room is to maximize the use of usable space, which a balcony can increase.

Design methods

When planning a kitchen renovation, you need to choose one of three possible redevelopment options.

Separate kitchen and balcony

Leaving everything as it is, we get two rooms separated from each other by a window and a door. We recommend that you design them in the same style and color scheme.

Here you can organize a space for storing preservation, set up a coffee table or even create an office.

Having a large loggia in a one-room apartment, you can completely “transfer” the kitchen there, leaving a lot of space for a living room with a dining area.

Partition between two rooms

Having removed window and door frames, we leave a partition that can separate two functional spaces - a cooking area and a dining area.

Or we can use it as part of the interior, for example, as a kitchen island or a bar counter. Stylish, modern idea that will definitely decorate your apartment.

Complete dismantling of the wall

The room will become more spacious visually and functionally. In the vacated pocket, you can move the work area or dining table.

Interior Features

Whichever option you choose, first of all, you need to take care of the insulation of the balcony so that the kitchen becomes the most comfortable and favorite place for residents.

Bright design - positive emotions

Be sure to take care of the exterior finishing materials, sheathe it with thermal insulation. Install double-glazed windows, close up all holes, run pipes and electricity.

It is advisable to install a "warm floor" system, and lay the surface with ceramic tiles. To do this, you need to move the radiator under the balcony window from the wall.

Combining the kitchen and the balcony - the benefits of the idea

Balconies are often used as a warehouse for storing vegetables, canned food and unnecessary things.

We will consider how it is possible to combine it with the kitchen as successfully as possible, to properly organize the usable area. Having received additional space, you can use it in different ways.

For example, it is possible to install additional cabinets for kitchen utensils, or create a cozy dining area with a large table.

The area combined with the balcony will become comfortable, acquire utility, aesthetic appearance. Decorating fantasies for this idea are endless - the vacated part can be used for various finishes, and flaws like a window ledge can be turned into a non-standard table for tea drinking.

If you will install heavy kitchen furniture on the balcony area, consider an important point: their weight should in no case exceed the allowable load on the plate, which is located at its base.

After finishing work on thermal insulation, exterior decoration, it's time to take up the roulette. By measuring the space, you can easily understand what will fit in the old environment, and what will have to get rid of.

Redevelopment gives a chance to beat the kitchen space in a new way. Organize free entry into the resulting pocket, otherwise all the work will go down the drain.

Even the most modest apartments in high-rise buildings have a balcony at least a meter wide, which means that a cabinet with a tabletop and several hanging shelves can easily fit in there.

You can install a washing machine or dishwasher, but they will need to be connected to the power grid and water pipes in advance.

Do not overload a small balcony with large items - choose furniture with open shelves.

Owners of a large loggia can easily bring the entire working area to the windows. Then the remaining room will turn into a spacious dining area with additional seating.
