Not enough space, balcony to make up!
The barriers between the living room, bedroom and balcony have been broken, and the originally cramped and tense small apartment does look a lot more spacious.
But the question is, without the balcony, where will the clothes be hung?
It's too hard, isn't it?
Why do you have to have a balcony?
Especially in the living room, the absence of a balcony means that the lighting and ventilation are weaker than half!
Even if the room is gloomy, the air is not circulating, and just thinking about it affects the mood.
Moreover, a house without a balcony will look very cramped, and even if the area of the suite itself is large enough, the view will not be so wide.
The main thing, and the most worrying, is, how to dry clothes in a house without a balcony?
You can't take it downstairs to dry every time you wash it, it's too troublesome!
Is there any salvation for a house without a balcony?
Don't worry, in fact, as long as you change your thinking, even if it is a house without a balcony, it can still be saved!
Rational use of the original space
After all, there is no rule that drying clothes must be done on the balcony, but it has become an unwritten habit for a long time.
The best solution at this point is probably to create a separate laundry room.
If you have plenty of bathroom space, or have extra spare space, you can set up a laundry room here.
Worried that there is no sun and your clothes will not dry?
Don't be afraid! Just put on the dryer!
In addition, washing machines, lockers, and sinks are also essential.
In this way, changing, drying, washing, drying, and stacking can be done here, even if it is cloudy and rainy.
If the area is really limited, in fact, it can be squeezed.
For example, stacking a washer and dryer on top of each other;
For example, make the laundry cabinet into a built-in design, and directly "hide" the washing machine and dryer.
Or in the original living room, bedroom, sun room and other spaces, make a space and design it as a simple laundry room.
However, regardless of the type of laundry, you need to pay attention to the following things:
➡ Consider water and electricity lines, waterproof drainage, socket reservations, and so on in advance;
➡ If the laundry is set up in the bathroom, be sure to do a good job of separating dry and wet to avoid splashing the clothes from drying at all, and even affecting the use of electrical appliances;
➡ If it is in other spaces, the ground and wall must be waterproof, and the drainage slope must be done to avoid water accumulation and leakage.
At that time, it will not only affect your own home, but also may affect your downstairs neighbors.
Choose the right equipment
In addition to the dryers mentioned above, the following drying equipment can also be considered↓
▶ Electric towel rail: That's right, it's a towel rack that can be heated by plugging it in.
In general, they are installed near the toilet in the bathroom, and the socket needs to be reserved in advance.
You know, although this guy is called a "towel rack", underwear, socks, children's clothes and other small pieces of clothing can all be dried with it, which is both space-saving and easy to use.
▶ Floor-to-ceiling folding hangers: intimate clothing, cups, pillows, shoes...... You can use it to dry!
When in use, open it and put it in the bedroom, living room and other places by the window, and fold it up and put it aside when not in use. It's practical, but it doesn't take up space!
▶ Electric lifting drying rack: It not only continues the traditional way of drying clothes, but also adjusts the height according to needs. In addition to the most basic laundry, it also adds functions such as lighting, drying, sterilization, and air drying, which can be said to be quite humane.
▶ Invisible Clothesline/Drying Rack: What? Space is too small to allow?Then try Invisible Clothesline or Invisible Drying Rack, which is smaller and more space-saving than an electric lifting clothes dryer, and is not easy to find!
If there is no balcony, then "create" the balcony
Since space can be squeezed out, why can't we open our minds and create infinite possibilities in limited conditions?
If you want to create a balcony in the living room or bedroom, you can reduce the original space and directly divide a piece of empty space by the window as a balcony;
Or use low cabinets, sliding doors, bar counters, screens, half walls, etc. as partitions to "separate" a balcony;
If you have large floor-to-ceiling windows in your home, create tatami mats, floors, or bay windows near the windows.
In this way, isn't it planned to plan the function of a leisure balcony?
At the same time, it can also make the whole visually extended, and the space looks more spacious and bright.
If you want to plant some flowers and plants, then set up an extension flower stand outside the window, and plant all kinds of green plants inside, and the romance of green will come!
Of course, the premise of doing this is to be people-oriented, taking into account the living habits, needs, preferences of family members, as well as living patterns, housing structures, functional area areas, etc.
In this way, the balcony that is "created" can be more reasonable and effective!
