The balcony in the home, in the perception of many friends, is used to dry clothes.
However, with the change in lifestyle, our perception is also gradually changing.
As a result, there is a situation where more and more people are no longer drying clothes on their balconies.
Then, what follows is: when decorating, more and more people's balconies are not equipped with drying racks.
How to dry clothes on the balcony without a drying rack? It is recommended to learn these 4 methods, which are simple and very practical.
Why do more and more people not install drying racks on their balconies?
For the change in the layout of the home, it is still very large.
Especially for the balcony of home decoration, from the traditional balcony for drying clothes, there is a gradual change.
Like now, when many friends are decorating, they will consider decorating into life, balconies, leisure balconies, etc., rather than just drying clothes.
In fact, there are many reasons why more and more people do not install drying racks on their balconies.
For this reason, I also deliberately consulted many friends and looked at the decoration of many homes, and came up with the following reasons.
(1) - Changes in layout
One of the most important factors that has led to more and more people not installing drying racks on their balconies is the change in the layout of balconies.
For balconies, the traditional approach is to install drying racks for drying clothes.
However, as people's lifestyles have changed, so have these changed.
In particular, the following two layout changes have also led to more people not installing drying racks:
(1) The emergence of various functions of the balcony. There are living balconies, leisure balconies, and living rooms. And all of these basically do away with drying racks and replace them with layouts that are more in line with our lives.
(2) The appearance of the living room and the balcony as one. The common practice is to remove the sliding door of the living room and open the living room and balcony, which also causes many friends to give up the drying rack.
(2) - the emergence of dryers
There is another reason why more and more friends give up installing drying racks, which is the emergence of dryers.
We install drying racks on the balcony, but the ultimate purpose is to dry clothes.
However, with the advent of some new household appliances, this situation of drying clothes has also changed.
One of the most typical situations is that the dryer replaces the drying of clothes.
And all of these situations can lead to the abandonment of the installation of drying racks:
(1) More friends chose the dryer. Clothes can be worn directly by drying them, so they don't need to be dried anymore. Therefore, there is no need to install a drying rack.
(2) The emergence of the washing and drying machine. When many friends bought a washing machine, they fell in love with the washing and drying machine. With the washer-dryer, you can also dry your clothes without having to dry them.
(3) - The installation of drying racks is restricted
The reason why more and more people do not install drying racks on balconies is also related to the limited installation of balconies.
Although the most basic function of the balcony is to dry clothes.
However, many friends will also find that the balcony has changed a lot due to the change of house type.
Another point is that the change in the way the windows are opened has also led to a change in the use of balconies.
And the combination of these reasons leads to the fact that there is no way to install drying racks on the balcony:
(1) The space of the balcony is too small to be installed. For example, if we want to install a lifting drying rack, we find that the size is not enough, there is no way to install it, so we have to give up.
(2) After the drying rack is installed on the balcony, it collides with the balcony window. When the window is opened, the drying rack cannot be lowered, and after the clothes are dried, the window cannot be opened. These limit the installation of drying racks.
What are the better alternatives to balcony without drying racks?
Since the balcony is not equipped with drying racks, it is necessary for us to find a way to dry clothes, rather than blindly following the trend to cancel the drying racks.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the washed clothes can be worn directly, or there are other places to dry before wearing.
And these are the most fundamental reasons why we don't install drying racks.
Personally, I will summarize these plans, and there are mainly the following four types, which are worth learning from.
(1) - Move the drying rack
After the balcony cancels the drying rack, the first thing you can consider is the mobile drying rack.
The so-called mobile drying rack is that this drying rack is movable and can be used to get to the place we need.
There are many types of mobile drying racks. For example, there are folding drying racks, there are drying racks with pulleys, and so on.
These drying racks do not need to be permanently installed. Use it at any time, take it out at any time, and put it away when you don't need it.
Therefore, mobile drying racks offer the following advantages:
(1) It is not limited by the balcony space. We can put the mobile drying rack on the living room balcony or other location. So, there is no limit to balcony space.
(2) Save space. When in use, just dry clothes in the balcony area. When not in use, you can fold it up and put it away in a corner, which is very space-saving.
(2) - Folding drying racks on the side walls
If we do away with the traditional drying rack on the balcony, we can also consider folding drying racks on the side wall.
The side wall folding drying rack is mainly to avoid the position of the balcony window, to avoid conflict with the balcony window and there is no way to use it.
Therefore, when we decorate, we can consider the east and west side walls of the balcony to install drying racks.
The installation method is also very simple, that is, fix the drying rack on the side wall.
The drying racks installed on the side walls are mainly divided into folding drying racks and rotating drying racks.
And these drying racks installed on all side walls realize the function of drying racks, allowing us to meet the needs of drying clothes.
And for the balcony at home, it has the following advantages:
(1) It will not occupy the corresponding space of the balcony window. So, with our balcony windows, there is no conflict. In this way, we can use the opening and closing functions of the windows normally.
(2) Provincial and local governments. Because it is folded or rotated, it can be folded up against the wall. At this time, it takes up almost no space. Only when it is used, then unfold it to dry clothes. It's also very practical.
(3) - Hanging drying rack
Cancel the traditional drying rack on the balcony, and you can also consider installing an overhung drying rack.
The so-called external rotation drying rack refers to the location where the drying rack is installed, which is outside our balcony window.
The installation method of the external hanging drying rack is fixed on the outside of the balcony window and unfolded outward.
Externally hung drying racks are classified differently according to their installation methods: those with triangular brackets, horizontal brackets, and top-hung brackets, etc.
Therefore, we can choose the appropriate overhung drying rack according to our usage habits.
Then, at this time, the following advantages of the external hanging drying rack can be well reflected:
(1) It will not occupy any space in our home at all. Because the overhung drying rack is installed on the outside of the balcony window. So, for us indoors, and the balcony, there was almost no impact.
(2) The effect of drying is better. Because drying clothes outside the balcony window, the effect of wind and sun exposure will be very good, the drying speed is fast, and the effect of drying clothes is better.
(3) One thing to pay attention to here is to prevent clothes from falling off. Therefore, try to put a horizontal baffle under the outer hanging drying rack, which can effectively prevent the clothes from falling down, so that you will be more assured to use it.
(4) - Washing machine companion cabinet
After eliminating the traditional drying rack on the balcony, you can also consider the washing machine companion cabinet, which has become more popular recently.
The washing machine companion cabinet is a cabinet created with a balcony washing machine.
The most common practice is to leave a space at the bottom of the cabinet for the washing machine.
The upper part of the cabinet can generally be made open, and then a clothes pole is installed inside.
In this way, we can hang the laundry on the top of the washing machine companion cabinet at any time to dry.
In the same way, if we install a washer dryer or a washer-dryer, then drying is more convenient.
Therefore, after installing the washing machine companion cabinet, it can indeed bring us a lot of advantages.
At the same time, the balcony can be installed with a washing machine companion cabinet, which can achieve the following two advantages:
(1) It can also save the space of the balcony. Our balcony can be turned into a living balcony, a leisure balcony or an entertaining balcony, which will not be affected by the drying rack in any way.
(2) It is more convenient to use. Especially for dryers and washer-dryers, it is more convenient to use. Every time I wash my clothes, I take them out and hang them on to dry, which is very practical.
(3) Precautions. There is a problem to pay attention to here, that is, the height of the clothes pole from the bottom, which generally meets the height of drying pants. So, you can measure the height of the balcony and reserve a good size.
