Is a balcony better in the living room or in the bedroom? Look at the people who have lived in it, it is indeed very realistic!
Many people will have certain views on the type of house when buying a house, some people like north-south transparency, some people like the "four-leaf clover" structure, etc., but the most controversial is the topic of balcony, if the bedroom and living room can only have a balcony, then which one to choose?
Today let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of the two, after a comparison, I think you can also understand!
Benefits of a balcony in the bedroom?
Privacy
The bedroom can be said to be the area in addition to the bathroom, the most need for privacy, and the balcony in the bedroom, can greatly enhance privacy, with the balcony block, even if the curtains are not pulled during the day, it is difficult for the person on the opposite side to see the situation inside.
Another point is that the balcony can dry clothes, even if there are guests at home, the intimate underwear on the balcony is not easy to see, which avoids the embarrassing dilemma!
Fresher air
Many people who like to raise flowers like to put a lot of potted plants on the balcony, which not only nourishes the eyes, but also purifies the air, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. But if the balcony is on the bedroom side, it is even better! Why do you say that?
Presumably, many people also know that potted plants are best not to raise in the bedroom, because some flowers will compete with you for oxygen, especially in a closed environment, although it will not leave you without oxygen to inhale, but the air is always not fresh.
But with the extension of the balcony in the bedroom, you can put beautiful flowers on the balcony not far from the bedroom, and you can enjoy these beautiful flowers before going to bed without worrying about the problem of competing for oxygen.
Since there are advantages, there must be some disadvantages, such as:
Affects daylighting
As an extension of the bedroom, the balcony is bound to be more external than the bedroom, so that it is bound to block the irradiation of some balconies, which is good in summer to reduce the invasion of heat waves, but autumn and winter are not good, always feel that the bedroom is cold and cold.
Whether it is lighting or view, it will be obstructed, which is indeed a big disadvantage, so some people will abandon this house structure because of this problem.
There is noise, which affects rest
The balcony can be said to be the default washing and drying area for the public, so the washing machine is generally placed on the balcony, and it is precisely because of this idea that the laundry and rest conflict. Every time you do laundry, you have to see if someone in the bedroom needs to rest, otherwise it is really difficult to wash clothes at such a close distance.
And many people are also willing to design the balcony as a leisure area, that is to say, play on the balcony when there is nothing to do, especially for families with children, noisy balconies are bound to affect the need for quiet bedrooms, such a design, it is very contradictory!
So, what are the advantages of a balcony in the living room?
Space expands
First of all, the living room will definitely give people a more spacious visual feeling, especially if the sliding door between the balcony and the living room is not installed, it will make people feel good and bright, especially for small apartments, it is recommended to do this.
In this way, the living room for guests is not so congested, and the space is large, which will naturally make people feel comfortable and make guests have more fun!
Easy for kids to play
In addition to being a drying area, the balcony can also be designed as a leisure area for children to play, not to mention how happy! And the balcony is connected to the living room, so there is a larger area for children to play, and you can see your children better and prevent them from doing "bad things"!
Disadvantages of a balcony in the living room?
Poor privacy
As mentioned above, when the balcony is in the living room, every time you wash your private clothes, you don't want to have guests at all, for fear of embarrassment when you see it, but sometimes, it is inevitable that you will be caught off guard, and the privacy is indeed worse!
Poor aesthetics
No one wants to see a bunch of long and short clothes hanging on the balcony as soon as they enter the door, blocking the line of sight, so this is also an embarrassing situation of the balcony in the living room, which is very aesthetically affected, making people feel so messy when they look at it, leaving a bad impression!
In general, whether the balcony is in the living room or in the bedroom can be both good and bad, but in the end it depends on your actual needs!
