What are the features of the office on the balcony?
First, you need to understand that if you use a balcony for storing things that you just have nowhere to do, it is better to leave the idea with the office, and look after the other place in the apartment. It is also important to take into account the design of the balcony itself: in old houses, as a rule, balconies are uncrowded, so get ready to spend a decent amount of insulation.
However, in all other circumstances, the balcony will be an excellent solution if you want to hide a noisy family for a while. Big plus in lighting: you do not have to strain your eyesight under a dim lamp when you get wonderful lighting from the street. The most important thing is to make a Cabinet correctly.

We prepare space
As we have said, it is necessary to eliminate all interfering factors: from the brine at the perimeter of the balcony until the absence of heating. And one more important point - you must get permission to actively use your balcony from an engineer, a specialist should inspect the premises and reveal how safe stay on the balcony.
In summer, you will need to protect against insects, for this, be sure to use the protective grid that is attached directly to the window. If necessary, mosquito insert is easily removed.
Also come up with the provision of electricity., Since the balcony does not initially envisage it. Install at least two outlets where you can connect the lighting itself, and electrical appliances for work.
The walls are best done in bright colors to visually expand the room, especially if there are not many places.

We decorate the workplace
You will achieve a real coziness if you use pleasant details in the design. But the prerequisite will be their combination between themselves, since your goal is a single style. You can put on the floor a soft carpet with a long pile, especially useful it will be in winter. If you are a designer, use the results of your work, spreading them if possible on an additional shelf or along the window - so will not leave inspiration. The same applies to people who are engaged in writing activities, and which solitude is required: it is on the balcony that you can get together with thoughts and give a truly worthy result.
