Furniture for balcony or loggia should be compact, and folding sofas or beds will fit perfectly. It is such sofas who understand and are collected.

• Corner design. Due to its design, this furniture can take very little space. It is installed close to the wall, which is very convenient. It is such sofas, as a rule, are considered the most comfortable. The only problem is due to the angular shape on the sofa it will not be located, and such products, as a rule, do not shine. But for the gatherings they are just right. Another table nearby, the chair - and everything will be very nice to look.

If you do not have the opportunity to buy a sofa, pay attention to the shops. They must be necessarily with the backs and not little size. Yes, of course, the shops can be harsh, but it is enough just to strip them with a dense soft cloth and lay the pillows. This option is suitable for braided sofas. They can be left in advanced form, as a braid is a fairly creative solution for the balcony. You can put pillows and colorful plaid.

Suspended sofas, sofas swing and sofas-hammocks can only be used if you are exactly sure that the ceiling will withstand.

Original design and ideas

It is for the balcony that a stylized sofa is fit very well. You can turn your balcony in a cute and cozy place to relax, using wicker and soft materials, lining the space with pillows. Near the sofa, you can set a wardrobe for books or easel with a chair.

Choose a stylish leather sofa, if the place allows you to purchase a spinning chair with an upholstery of the same material. It must be a table, otherwise where you will work with a laptop or documents.

If your job is far from numbers and reports, but is connected, for example, with needlework or skill, free the maximum number of space on the floor. A very correct solution will install the shelves on the walls (at a distance from the floor) - for example, put a sofa, and to attach the shelves next to it.

This will save space and will allow you to enter it in the size of the room.

Types of sofas for the balcony

There are various modifications of sofas on the balconies. Someone is more important that the furniture is transformed into a sleeping place, someone appreciates the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, preferring to smaller models. The main types of sofas suitable for installation on the balcony should be highlighted.

The practical sofa for the balcony combines direct functions with the ability to store things.

Chair-bed.

The chair on the balcony is an excellent solution for a small space. It is suitable for narrow balconies. It is possible to install it to the Far from the entrance of the wall to ensure laying. Folded will play the role of the chair, which will save space. If necessary, the chair is declined to obtain a bed.

It must be understood that unheated premises - This is an aggressive environment with high humidityTherefore, in order for the furniture to serve as much as possible, the materials are chosen for operation in street conditions.

It is not worth the external coating to make from tissues, easily absorbing moisture and dust, and the case - from the untreated special means material. About how the sofa can be on the balcony, see this video:

For making frame, you can use dry wooden bar.treated with an antiseptic of fungus and varnish protecting moisture penetration. Filler securely serve the foam rubber. The surface of the sofa to the balcony can be made of eco-tree. It will not allow water and dust penetrate inside.

On an open unlocked balcony, to achieve maximum practicality, it is better to make a choice in favor of wicker or plastic furniture. But here it is not about embedded sofas and chairs.

Production of a sofa on a balcony with their own hands

If the owner is decided to build a sofa to the balcony own forcesthen you can be guided by the following common rules. Tips will help avoid unpleasant mistakes in the process of manufacture:

1. Make measurements on the balcony and create a design project with a sofa drawing. Rounded parts of the sofa will create the visibility of a larger balcony space. The size must be commensurate with the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. It is necessary to take into account this when designing.
2. Accurately calculate the number of required material.
3. Decide with the tool required in the manufacturing process.
4. When assembling the case, use special furniture hardware. Collect the frame is from solid wood. For the foundation to which the filler and the observer material will be attached, plywood is suitable. The design of the housing must be calculated on the planned loads. It is not recommended to use ordinary carpenter nails for attachment, as in the process of use, with constant dynamic effects, they are separated inside the wood.
5. Select only high-quality accessories for sliding sofa parts. The movable positions of the design must be smoothly and without happiness to give in advance when necessary. Cheap fittings over time will stop working correctly. In no case should not save on this such an important component.
6. As a filler, use foam rubber in two layers: the first - increased rigidity, the second is soft. Porolon is inexpensive and practical material To fill between a rigid body and an external coating. The first layer that will lay down to plywood, it is better to choose a solid, and the second layer covered with cloth - soft. Then sitting and lying on such a sofa will be quite comfortable.
7. Upholstery material is fixed to the housing using brackets and stapler.

Exclusive sofa to the balcony: 4 options for "from nothing"

In recent years, I still have to see the littered balconies, turned into a storage room for unnecessary things. But in the houses of the old building, they have so microscopic size as the recreation area on such an area is difficult to arrange. For example, the smallest sofa to the balcony, which I had to meet in stores, in length is 75 cm. And the width of the balcony in the Son Khrushchev - exactly 73 cm.

That is, it will not wander it to the most convenient place in the face, but you can put it along the long wall except that a narrow shop. There are two outputs: make furniture to order either do it yourself. I, as a big amateur, to exploit the crazy handles of a husband for the implementation of all sorts of delusional and not very construction and creative ideas, more interested in the second.

All sofas are good, choose to taste

Methodically shaking through the eyes of the house and the site, the role of the future sofa, I tried on a lot of things. My goal is to use what lies without a business. We were already in surprise to state that the price of the homemade thing turned out to be comparable to the factory, if all materials for its manufacture had to buy.

So it's not interesting: I want not only to get moral satisfaction, but also save. Therefore, we will make a sofa to the balcony with their own hands on the principle "I was blinded from what was." The only thing that in most cases will need to buy - upholstery fabric.

I energize your court a few ideas.

Option 1 - frameless

First of all, the look fell for old chairs, stitched five years ago and stuffed with foam balls.

During this time, the balls were crushed, covers crawled along the seams, the chairs lost the form. So why not sew a new cover of the desired form and size, and do not ship the filler into it? Business:

• Find a suitable pattern:
• Make two covers with zipper locks - internal and outdoor, which can be removed and washed. And the locks, and the fabric for the internal bag can be used the same;
• Shoulder balls in a new shell and ready!

The only drawback of such furniture is difficult to get out of it.Since the balls under the weight of a person are moved, the chair slides down. But it is easy to solve this problem if you install a transverse bar at the bottom of the sofa, securing it between the walls.

Option 2 - Alteration of old furniture

On the same photo next to the seats is the old sofa, which we still do not get sideways. It is small - the balcony of a width of more than a meter would be quite up.

But! Firstly, it can be seen that it is an old one, secondly, it is inexperienced, well, and thirdly, it is not fit for dimensions. Although ... if you remove the massive back and armrests, from the frame and the seats you can come up with something. For example:

• Disassemble the whole design, install the lower part of the frame in place, and the seat to connect with it with the help of door loops - it will turn out a sofa with a box to the balcony for storing tools, home billets and other necessary things;
• Since the original sofa folding (advanced forward), then the seat consists of two stitched pillows. One of them in our version will serve as a soft back. It can be simply noted to the wall or fix over the sofa, and the pillow hang to it on the hinges.

If inside a box to sew a fluolisolone, potatoes on the glazed balcony can be stored in winter.

For soft details, a new case and pillowcases for armrest pads from the same fabric will be sewn. Although the armrests are more convenient to do in the form of rollers.

It is not necessary to use a wooden frame from the old soft furniture. The box can be made independently from bars, boards, plywood, chipboard and even from building pallets.

Instead, it is possible to put on the floor of the camera from the broken small refrigerator the door up, put the chest, a low cabinet from the hallway with the swollen doors or the lower part of the chest.

In the absence of ready-made uphill furniture, the seat for the sofa is easy to cut out of the foam rubber. But there are other solutions. For example, to fill in the size of the case in the punch of old pillows and down jackets - it turns out excellent perina. Or small soft toys, koi in the "children" families often accumulate in threatening quantities.

By the way about pillows!

Option 3 - Mattress Pillow

I have long dream replaced feather pillows New, with a synthetic filler, and get rid of the ancient "cotton" mattresses, without doing in the Hozbok. All the hand was not raised to throw out, and not in vain. Because it was very simple and very simple and original ideaHow to make a sofa with your own hands on the balcony from such a mattress and wooden shields:

Now the pillows will not throw out. Even if you can't use the balcony of a young family to improve the balcony at home on the terrace. Sleeping, Oden in beautiful covers and with the help of bilateral lipukes will lock on a wooden podium.

For the podium device, the material also finds: somewhere there must be an old wooden door leaf-semesey. His one is enough and in order to make a frame under the sofa to the balcony, if this option is like children. Split into three parts in width - it turns out the seat, and the back, and the front panel.

Option 4 - lightweight-portable

Somehow I already showed this masterpiece made by my husband from plastic pipes and residue kitchen countertops:

After mounting the water supply on the site and in the garden we have remained pipes that can be used to manufacture such a design. You need to buy only tees, corners and clips that are worth a penny, and to build a sofa to the loggia right on the spot.

• In our case, the back and seat are removable, they are attached to the frame tubes using clips screwed to the shields:

• But now I would choose another option - with a soft support from a stronger tension tubes. In this case, the instruction for making the framework is slightly complicated, as before making the tubes, they will need to turn through the "pocket".

At all from plastic pipes you can make any furniture for the balcony, especially if it is not glad. It is chairs, and tables, and shelves for potted flowers. For the winter or in rainy weather, soft details are entered into the house, and no moisture is terrible.

Conclusion

And I also have a grid from the shell bed ... But I have not yet invented how you can use it to make a sofa to the balcony. It turns out only the ottoman having half of its area.

You can find any other things that have come out of consuming things that, if desired, are transformed into balcony furniture. Some ideas can be spacked up from the video in this article.

Well, I would like to hear opinions: which of the described options it seems to you the most worthy. Waiting for comments. Tomatoes are also ready.

If you want to express your gratitude, add clarification or objection to ask the author - add a comment or tell me thanks!

For many years, our compatriots have been used as seats for storing various things and trash, storage products in the cold season, as well as exclusively for smoking. Today, people seek the most expanding residential space in their apartments, so they try to create a functional room in which it will be possible to spend time, rest or engage in your own business.

It is quite possible to reflect this non-residential premises, installing the chair, the table and chairs, the sofa to the balcony.

Furniture together with high-quality glazing and insulation allows you to make a living room. Oddly enough, the sofa is best suited for balconies. Now there are many different models of sofas for balconies, which differ in the following characteristics:

• Shape (square, rectangular, with boxes, oval, etc.);
• Colors (you can buy or order a tightness of any shade);
• Design (folding, standard, angular, etc.)
• A variety of dimensions.

Many people make sofas on balconies and loggias with their own hands, without resorting to the services of professionals.

If it is not assumed that the furniture will have some complex structural features, then it does not require the use of a large number of expensive materials. Of course, it will make it cheaper with your own hands than buying a finished product.

Which sofa can be chosen for the balcony?

Free space is seriously limited, not as in the rest of the apartment, so the selected sofa on the balcony should have a compact size, and preferably several functions. If the size of the loggia allows, it is best to install a sofa bed in it.

Many models of sofas for balconies have very compact sizes and can be laid out, so we can easily lie down with a warm summer day on the sofa. In addition, another place to rest in the apartment still did not prevent anyone.

But some folding sofa on the balcony is not needed at all, so the choice is made in favor of the most standard models. Now in the market you can find a lot of most different options, including small sizes.

At the same time, if there are few cabinets, chest of drawers and bedside tables, then in the store you need to look after the models that are equipped with various drawers and shelves. In such sofas, you can store different things for the balcony.

How to make a sofa on the balcony yourself?

It is not always possible to purchase a sofa for a balcony in the store. Often it is due to financial difficulties or lack of desired furniture in the stores.

Sometimes the owners have a desire to make a sofa independently.

By and large, there is nothing complicated in this work, because in order to make a simple little sofa on the loggia, no special construction and installation skills are required, as well as the presence of special tools.

The easiest option is to make an ordinary sofa, without any additional features. Of course, if there is a desire to make a folding structure with your own hands, then the skills and the corresponding toolkit (to create such a sofa for the balcony, it is possible to help specialists.

Works are performed in several stages:
