Tips for choosing roller blinds for a balcony

The balcony is the most illuminated part of the apartment or house. This is not only a big advantage of the room, but also causes some inconvenience. For example, on a hot day, the balcony heats up the room adjacent to it, house plants burn under the influence of direct sunlight, and the bright light from lanterns disturbs you at night. That is why you can see a variety of curtains on almost all modern balconies. Let's figure out which curtains are best suited for placement on balcony windows.

Which is better: blinds or roller blinds?

Since balconies and loggia are limited spaces, hanging tulle and classic floor-length curtains on the windows here is impractical. The most successful and common options are blinds and roller blinds. What to choose from this?

Blinds	Roller blinds
Materials - aluminum and plastic - are quite durable and strong	The plastic mechanism and fastenings rarely break, but the fabric curtain may tear or lose its aesthetic appearance
Replacing bent or broken plates is a complex process that requires expert labor	You can replace the fabric on a roller blind yourself, and the cost of materials will be small
The slats rotate 360°, which allows you to adjust the lighting of the room	Individual curtains on each leaf can be fixed at different heights, creating ideal balcony lighting
They collect all the dust, which is very noticeable when closing the slats.	High-quality roller blinds practically do not attract dust and wool
They are resistant to moisture, so they are easy to clean and can be used on poorly waterproofed balconies	Requires periodic dry cleaning (vacuum cleaner, knocking out dust, etc.), not suitable for rooms with high humidity or leaky windows
They get very hot through the glass in the sun's rays	Even in hot weather it is impossible to get burned from the curtain fabric

Vertical blinds

Horizontal blinds

Everyone who has ever compared horizontal or vertical blinds with roller blinds in the interior has noted the more aesthetic appearance of the latter. Most often, blinds are associated with offices, offices and government agencies, but not with cozy living rooms and balconies.

A few more advantages of roller blinds:

design versatility - suitable for wooden, aluminum or plastic window frames;
large selection of materials, colors and patterns;
ease of installation and operation;
wide price range.

The only disadvantages that can be noted are the decreasing opening angle of the sash and the impossibility of mounting on sliding windows, but this disadvantage applies to both blinds and Roman blinds.

Curtains in the design of openings

To create coziness in the resulting room, you definitely need curtains on the openings. Their style will depend on the purpose of the room. The appearance and color must correspond to the general idea for the loggia. Modern options make it possible to tastefully decorate a small room.

The choice is influenced by the interior of the room with a balcony or loggia. For a small loggia of 3 meters, you can use organza or tulle. It will add lightness to the interior and provide soft lighting. For a harmonious combination, you need to choose a fabric that matches the color of the furniture.

IMPORTANT To save space on sliding windows, blinds are recommended. They look fashionable, do not take up much space, and, if necessary, are easy to clean. In addition, the blinds do not interfere with the opening of the curtains.

Types of roller blinds

Roller blinds differ from each other not only in design and cost, but also in design features.

There are four types of systems for roller blinds:

MINI is a simple and budget design without a decorative box and side guides. Due to the fact that the top bar is attached above the double-glazed window, the curtain does not cover part of the window. The weighting agent is a metal strip, which, if necessary, is attached to the bottom of the window with magnets;
UNI 1 – characterized by the presence of a metal cornice. There are vertical guides on both sides of the curtain. The fabric roll is installed within the glass unit. Thanks to the slight bend of the guides, it is possible to leave the curtain in any position when the window sash is open;
UNI 2 is a system identical to the previous one, but designed for installation on non-standard windows or frames with non-standard glazing beads. C-shaped metal guides form a rigid and durable system that is completely independent of the window design;
STANDARD – the system has a more durable and heavier design and is designed for mounting in arched openings, to a wall or ceiling. Fastening is carried out using brackets.

The first two options for roller blinds are suitable for balconies and loggias, since most often standard balcony double-glazed windows are installed in apartments, so there is no point in overpaying for “sophisticated” designs.

Installation and fastening

How to assemble the components of a curtain? The set contains: a coupling device, a tip and a roll of fabric. It's simple - you fix the chain mechanism on one side. The tip is like a plug on the other.

Installation is not difficult. If you follow the instructions, you don’t have to contact a specialist.

If necessary, the curtain can be cut to the desired width

How to choose good roller blinds for a balcony

Not every curtain will look good in the interior of such a small room as a balcony. Therefore, when choosing a curtain in this case, you should follow some rules:

curtains made of thick fabrics are better suited for a balcony on the sunny side, but for northern windows it is better to choose more transparent and lightweight materials;
In no case should you place dark roller blinds on the balcony, as this will give the room a gloomy look and visually reduce the space by reducing daylight;
it is better to choose natural textiles, since dust and small debris are least attracted to them;
to hide the balcony of the first floors from prying eyes, curtains with a small pattern are perfect - ornate plants, lines, checkered patterns;
high-quality curtains from reputable manufacturers will last longer thanks to moisture-resistant and dust-repellent impregnations in the fabric.

Roller blinds that are correctly selected in style and quality can instantly transform the interior of a balcony or loggia. This is especially important in cases where the room is used as an office, recreation area, dressing room, or attached to a living room.

How to choose roller curtains for a loggia?

Roller curtains can be narrow, wide, open or closed according to the type of fastening. As a rule, parts for fixing come in one set. Therefore, after purchasing it, all that remains is to install it. When choosing roller curtains, you must immediately decide on the design. Currently, there are roller blinds on sale for all types of interiors. Without much difficulty you can find models in oriental and classic styles. For sewing, dense, not very dense, transparent, light-proof and even reflective materials are used.

Roller or roller blinds

The products have a laconic, neat appearance. In combination with a convenient folding and unfolding mechanism, they make them a favorite type of curtains for a loggia or balcony. They are a textile fabric that is wound on a roller attached to the top of the window. Can be mounted on a window profile, on a sash or on a wall. Roller blinds have several options:

The canvas is attached only at the top, while the bottom and sides are not fastened and hang freely.
The canvas is fixed at the top, and movement up and down occurs along vertical guides. They are called cassette roller blinds.

If the sash has a ventilation mode, then it is recommended to install the second option on such a window. It tightly fixes the fabric when unfolded. In addition, when the window is open, roller blinds are silent, because they do not sway from the wind.

There are two types of lowering mechanism:

manual using a control chain;
electric, controlled from a remote control.

Please note: Choosing curtains for the balcony

Rolled structures use dense fabric impregnated with moisture- and dust-reflecting compounds. The canvases are easy to care for - just wipe them with a damp cloth while unfolded. When assembled, the roll is practically invisible and does not clutter the window profile, but slightly reduces the opening angle of the window.

They are made from various materials, in any color scheme. You can choose a roller blind to suit any interior.

Types of roller blinds for balconies

Despite the simplicity of the design, all roller blinds for balcony windows, sold commercially or made to order, have the following differences:

By design. In simple systems, the roller blind fabric hangs freely from the upper horizontal shaft. In more complex designs, the shaft is closed with a box, and the side edges of the material are placed in vertical guides - thanks to this, the curtain can be lowered when the window sash is lowered.
By type of control. In simple systems, the lowering and raising of the blade is carried out by manually moving the plastic chain. In more expensive devices, an electric motor is responsible for the movement of the shaft, the activation of which is controlled by a separate remote switch or remote control.

Many models of roller blinds have a spring lowering mechanism without a side plastic chain - this significantly increases the ease of use of the system on inclined sashes.

Roller blinds pros and cons

According to the material of the canvas . All materials used for the manufacture of roller blinds can be divided into the following groups:

Natural. They include linen, cotton, satin, thin bamboo plates, often the fabric structure is impregnated with antibacterial, fire-retardant or anti-dust compounds.
Artificial. Polyester, viscose, polyvinyl chloride, fiberglass are the main synthetic materials used in the manufacture of curtains. Their advantages over natural ones are long service life and resistance to fading in the sun, durability, and ease of care.

Roller blinds

According to the purpose of the canvas . The fabrics used in roller blinds can be divided into the following groups:

Translucent - designed to protect from direct rays of the sun during the day, diffuse light, protecting furniture and flooring from fading. Typically used on balconies, kitchens and living rooms.
Blackout is a dense light-protective fabric designed to completely protect the room from the penetration of daylight and sunlight. Roller blinds of this type are often placed in bedrooms or home theaters. Blackout curtains can be placed on the glazing of external balcony frames if the room is used as a recreation area, and a plasma is hung on the side wall for watching television channels.
Day Night. The canvas consists of alternating horizontally located transparent (translucent) and dark light-protective stripes like a zebra. When moving, opaque fragments take the place of transparent ones and can completely block the light.

Matter Blackout and day-night

According to the method of holding when tilting . The main advantage of roller blinds is the ability to stay on the sash when it is lowered. To do this, use the following methods of fastening the canvas:

Place its side edges in the vertical guides.
A weighting agent with ears is attached to the fabric from below, which are passed into vertically stretched fishing lines on the sides of the curtain.
Magnets are screwed to the bottom of the sash and a metal weight is used, which, when the curtain is lowered, is attracted to the magnetic latches.

Methods for holding the leaf when tilting the sash

According to the installation method. Roller blinds on aluminum, wooden, and plastic windows on the balcony can be mounted in the following ways:

Screw plastic brackets onto the screws at the top of the frame frame, into which a rotating tube is inserted for winding the fabric. The main disadvantage of this method is damage to the surface of the profile when drilling it for screws.
S-shaped plastic brackets are attached to the upper edge of the sash to hold the shaft, which are additionally secured with tape. Then a hollow tube with a chain or spring mechanism is installed in them.
In rare cases, brackets are glued to the frame profile with double-sided tape (similar fastening systems are sold in retail chains), however, due to weak fixation with a sticky adhesive composition, the use of such systems is limited by the weight of roller blinds.

There is another type of roller blinds, in which the canvas is made from thin horizontally arranged and interconnected bamboo stems. When lifted, they are not wound onto the upper drum, but are themselves rolled into a roll using a rope and then fixed in the upper position.

Methods for attaching the rotary mechanism shaft to the sash

Roman

They have a more elegant appearance compared to their rolled counterparts. Roman blinds on the balcony are a convenient and beautiful way to decorate a window. When rolled, they fold into small horizontal sections. This drapery gives the loggia a cozy look, reminiscent of a rustic interior. Often Roman, or Romanesque, curtains are used in Provence style.

The fabrics used are natural and dense, treated with impregnation. It protects against dust, exposure to ultraviolet rays, and high humidity. It is easy to care for such curtains. Depending on the material, they are washed or simply wiped.

Often Roman curtains for a loggia are made of thick fabric that does not allow sunlight to pass through. And in addition to them, light tulle curtains are installed on the loggia. In cloudy weather, the window is covered with a translucent curtain, and on sunny days and at night - with a Roman blind. By lowering the canvas to different levels, you can adjust the degree of illumination of the balcony.

Roman curtains also perform a heat-saving function. During the cold season, they retain warm air in the room and prevent cold air from entering. On hot days, the lowered canvas does not allow hot air inside. Roman curtains are the easiest option for making curtains for a balcony with your own hands.

Bamboo

This material has long become synonymous with environmental friendliness and naturalness. The plant comes from the tropical forests of Africa, Asia, and America. Local residents used it to protect their homes from wind, sun, and moisture. It is believed that bamboo products protect the home from negative energy.

Bamboo curtains for the balcony are a single fabric. The stems are tightly woven together with natural threads.

Advantages:

safe environmentally friendly material;
hypoallergenic – repels dust;
retains its original appearance for a long time;
has low weight;
does not allow sunlight to pass through;
allows air to pass through well due to porosity;
low price and durability.

Flaws:

limited color range;
quickly absorbs odors;
has size restrictions - up to 180-240 cm in width.

Bamboo fabric is installed on the structure of Roman or roller blinds. The canvases come in dark and light shades of brown. Bamboo curtains are often complemented by other types of textile window treatments. A harmonious combination is obtained with silk, linen, and tulle. Not a very successful combination with velvet, satin, organza.

Curtains

Fabric curtains are always an appropriate classic as curtains for the balcony. They are especially appropriate on loggias combined with a room. They are often made up to the length of the window sill. Floor-length curtains look beautiful on panoramic balconies with full-height windows.

Curtains can be made of light or dense material, and a combination of both options is possible. In the first case, the curtain will not have to be drawn often. Classic curtains are suitable for sliding windows, where roller or Roman counterparts cannot be installed.

Loggia lighting with LED lighting

Good lighting will make the interior of a room with a balcony elegant and unique.
The window leading out of the apartment with a balcony can be illuminated in the same style. An LED strip with a sticky backing is suitable for this. With lighting in the evening, the room will look different than during the day. Moreover, not only the internal appearance will change, but also the external one. In the dark, a luminous panel will stand out on the facade of your house.

Lighting can be made general, for example, along the perimeter of the ceiling. In the evening, decorative lighting on a window sill or bar counter will look beautiful. An LED strip placed on the baseboard will flood the floor and bottom of the wall with soft light.

Blinds

The best way to protect your balcony block from the sun is to install blinds. They are vertical and horizontal. Made from polyester, wood, plastic, aluminum, fabric.

Important! In the interior, blinds act as a neutral element. They will not make the loggia more comfortable, but they will give the appearance of an office space.

If this effect is undesirable, then in addition you can decorate the opening with tulle for the balcony. Another option is to install colored slats or in the form of a pattern (photo blinds).

The amount of light transmitted is controlled by the angle of the lamellas. Maintenance consists of wiping each panel. The design of vertical blinds allows for the removal of individual slats for replacement or washing. The inconvenience is that when ventilated they make noise and become deformed.

Pleated blinds

Pleated curtains are designed like an accordion. When folded, they gather into a fold, and when unfolded, they straighten out. One of the advantages is that they fit into openings of different shapes. Pleated blinds are attached to the window opening on cables; they can be freely moved along the length of the window. They do not have a rigid fixation at the top, like roller blinds. They can cover only the top of the window or only the bottom, middle.

Pleated fabric with special protective impregnation is used. Thanks to the mechanism of fastening on threads with pleated curtains, it is convenient to decorate the flaps.

There is a “day-night” option, consisting of two canvases of different throughput. One is for the day, the other is for the night. The degree of density of the curtain is regulated by folding one sheet and unfolding the other. There is a possibility of remote control.

Austrian and French

It is recommended to choose curtains for a loggia of 6 meters or less that are compact and laconic, such as roller blinds, Roman ones, or hang blinds with small horizontal slats. But for the lucky owners of a spacious loggia, the list is replenished with Austrian, French or English curtains. They are united by their European origin and solemn pompous appearance. Obviously, this is inappropriate on a small balcony.

French and Austrian curtains form many folds where a large amount of dust will accumulate. Caring for them will require a lot of time and effort. This will not scare away a true connoisseur of luxury, especially since the efforts will be rewarded with an aesthetic and unique design of the balcony window.

French curtains have arched folds and scallops along their entire length. They give it a solemn look. This design is suitable if the loggia and the adjacent room are made in a classic style. As a rule, they are made from translucent fabrics. The design is laconic with a small number of components.

Austrian curtains, unlike French ones, have scallops only when assembled. The fabric is lifted using laces or ribbons, most often located on the inside. The materials used for sewing products are light and thin. Silk, taffeta, veil, cambric are suitable. Such palace curtains will complement an interior with antique furniture, paintings of classical motifs, and mirrors in elegant frames.

Drapes and curtains

Draperies and curtains are classic textile decorations for windows in rooms. For balconies and loggias they are chosen less often. Due to the large size of the fabric, they are more difficult to care for than, for example, Roman blinds. They are suitable for insulated loggias with double-glazed windows that protect the room from dust and dampness.

Curtains are chosen when you need curtains for the loggia that will protect from the sun. Thanks to the dense fabric, they will not let in the sun's rays, which is especially valuable for balconies facing south. Floor-length curtains will decorate the spacious stained-glass balconies.

Curtains are light translucent curtains. Organza or tulle on the balcony is suitable for northern windows with a small amount of daylight. Curtains will add lightness and airiness to the entire room.

Important! When choosing drapes or curtains to decorate a balcony, you need to take into account that they are attached to the cornice. To arrange it, you will need 15-20 cm of distance between the ceiling and the window frame.

Features and Benefits of Use

Such curtains add coziness and warmth to the atmosphere of the room. They can be used to decorate not only windows, but also the door on the balcony. Then all that remains is to choose the right furniture. For example, a small table and a set of chairs or armchairs. It will be a pleasure to read a book and drink your morning coffee here. For flower lovers, roller shutters will be an excellent method for protection from the sun and drying out.

Horizontal roller blinds will become a barrier for curious neighbors. In some houses, balconies are located next to the kitchen. If you hang a roller blind on the balcony door, odors from the kitchen will not penetrate onto the balcony. This is especially advisable in the summer, and if the balcony serves as a children's playroom.

Color solutions

The balcony is a continuation of the room, so it should not stylistically stand out from the overall image. The color and pattern of the curtains should match the interior decoration and furniture. It is not recommended to use too dark colors on loggias: black, blue, brown, purple. They visually “eat up” the space, making it heavy and “oppressive”. In addition, on the south side such curtains will attract sunlight and accumulate heat. It will be stuffy and hot on such a balcony.

If the interior of the loggia and the adjacent room requires dark-colored curtains, then a good option would be to use double-sided products. The light side will face outward, the dark side will face inward.

For this reason, you should not use bright flashy colors and patterns. It is better to give preference to solid neutral colors and muted prints. Light fabrics visually increase the space. Vertical stripes “stretch” the height, and horizontal stripes “stretch” the width.

Decorating loggias with curtains

Well-appointed glazed balconies create additional cozy corners in the apartment. In a spectacularly decorated room you can breathe fresh air and admire nature. Such a room with beautiful decoration will serve for privacy and relaxation.

When decorating, keep in mind that this is a continuation of the room, separated by a window and a balcony door. The style should match the interior space, but in a lightweight way. The pomp of the living room will not be appropriate behind the door leading out of it.

With your own hands

Hand-sewn curtains for a balcony will help you save money and also bring original ideas to life. The easiest way is to make Roman blinds for your loggia yourself. They can be translucent or made of thick fabric. They consist of one leaf or several (for each sash).

First you need to decide on the number of canvases and prepare everything you need:

fabric of the required size;
Velcro tape;
nails and screws;
wooden or plastic rods half a centimeter in diameter and 2-3 cm less than the width of the future curtain (6-8 pieces depending on the length of the product).
a block for fastening the structure, equal to the width of the curtain (2.5x5 cm);
plastic rings 1 cm in diameter (2-3 rings for each twig);
weighting material (aluminum or wooden strip);
cord;
hook.

To determine the size and number of folds, use the table:

The procedure for making Roman blinds for a balcony with Velcro with your own hands: for every 10 cm of window, add 1.3-1.4 cm to the distance between the folds.

We take measurements and add 5-7 cm to the resulting numbers for seams and 14 cm for allowances. We cut and cut.
On the wrong side we mark the places of folds, folds and rings.
We make folds along the edges and stitch.
We attach Velcro to the block using nails.
We sew Velcro across the width of the curtain onto the top of the curtain. The Velcro product is easy to remove for washing and put back on.
We make a pocket in the lower part and place a weight bar there.
In places of folds on the wrong side there should be pockets for the rods. This could be aluminum wire or corset inserts. Sew the pockets on one side, then on the other side it will be convenient to take them out before washing the curtain.
On each pocket with rods (7 pcs.), we sew rings at an equal distance (3 pcs.) from each other. We also fix the rings on the block that holds the structure.
We assemble the product. We fix the fabric to the bar using Velcro.
We thread the cords into the rings, moving from bottom to top, and tie the cord tightly with several knots on the bottom ring. If the product has three vertical rows of rings, then there will be three separate cords. Each is fixed on the lower ring, passes vertically through all the rings along one line and is brought out horizontally from above through the rings on the block to the side. As a result, the ends of three cords will hang from the side above.
We collect the ends of the cords and tie them together. We cut off the excess. It is convenient to make another knot when the Roman blind is assembled.
We install a hook on the side of the window frame, which will hold the knots on the cord, fixing the curtain in assembled form. Do-it-yourself Roman blind on the balcony is ready!

How to hang curtains on the balcony

Curtains can be mounted on the window sash and profile, on the wall or ceiling. If there is free space in the form of a concrete or brick wall between the window profile and the ceiling, then a regular cornice is mounted on it. The following types of cornices are suitable for balconies:

In the form of a round crossbar with rings on which the curtain is fixed.
A telescopic crossbar, which is attached to opposite walls using a spring mechanism.
Stretch line or wire.
Ceiling rail cornice.

Selection of design depending on the type of window

There are two popular designs of roller blinds – standard and mini. Both have their advantages and limitations in application. Select the correct system depending on the type of windows on which the roller blinds will be installed.

Option 1: mini-cassette roller blinds

Mini-cassettes are convenient for mounting on a window sash. Such roller blinds are mounted on plastic balcony windows, as shown in the photo below. Designs of this type are universal, functional and easy to use, but they are not suitable for sliding balcony frames.

Mini-structures on window sashes

The panel of the mini-structure fits tightly to the glazing field. To prevent its lower part from dangling, the curtain is pulled using a special string. It is made of thin, durable fishing line and is not noticeable. Roller blinds are opened and closed using a plastic chain.

Mini-cassette roller blinds on a balcony block

This structure is mounted on the brackets that come with the kit, and the installation process is described in detail in the manufacturer’s instructions.

Option 2: standard system

This is the optimal solution for balconies and loggias with sliding frames. The standard system is also well suited for blind plastic windows. But for rotary and tilt-and-turn devices, it is better to choose a mini-cassette. Standard roller blinds interfere with the normal opening and closing of the shutters, because their width is greater than the width of the profile, and this reduces the opening angle of the window.

Standart structures are installed either in the ceiling or on the wall of the window opening. Self-tapping screws are used as fastening elements. The roll with the fabric panel is held by a special clamp, and a weight is provided on the bottom bar so that the curtain does not move when lowered.

Standard system designs

The only disadvantage of the standard method of attaching roller blinds, proposed by most manufacturers, is the need to drill holes. You can do without this; below is a section with video instructions on different types of installation.

Tips for choosing

Basic criteria for choosing the type of curtains:

Size and shape of the balcony. It is appropriate to decorate small narrow balconies with options that do not take up space. Suitable models: blinds, Roman and roller blinds, pleated blinds.
Which side does the balcony face? For southern windows, dense materials in light, cool colors are suitable. Northern ones are decorated with translucent fabrics in warm shades.
Purpose of the room. For the office it is necessary to create comfortable working conditions where good darkening is required. Use thick Roman shades or blinds. A greenhouse needs a constant stream of sunlight. It is better to limit yourself to light tulle.
United or isolated. Any options are suitable for a combined loggia: from laconic roller blinds to luxurious Austrian curtains. When designing an autonomous balcony, its purpose is taken into account.
Method of opening windows. Sliding window structures are decorated with drapes, curtains, Roman blinds, which are fixed not on the window profile, but on the wall or ceiling. It is important to consider that curtains should not interfere with the opening of windows. Curtains on windows with swing doors should be compact: roller blinds, blinds, pleated.

Choosing blinds for the balcony: which ones are better?

For window decoration of balconies, various types of blinds are one of the most optimal options. For decades, blinds have been considered a worthy replacement for curtains. If we recall history, then back in the 19th century, louvered curtains became a hit in interiors, while, paradoxically, they have enough opportunities to be modern. How to decorate a balcony, what to choose from the variety of louvered curtains?

How to choose blinds for a loggia or balcony: types

The first point that determines the choice of blinds is the type of curtain. And there are not so few of them.

Types of louvered curtains:

Horizontal . Perhaps they are most often installed on balcony windows. They are practical, convenient, and very easy to use.
Vertical . The slats in such curtains are located, as you might guess, vertically. This is quite convenient for adjusting the flow of light onto a balcony or loggia.
Facade . Their fundamental difference is that they are mounted outside the building, which also affects the quality of the curtains. They are very durable and reliable. And there are also types of louvered façade curtains that simultaneously serve as protection from burglars! Since such louvered curtains are combined into a single facade, they make plastic windows more functional.
Pleated. And this is a design with pleated fabric with 2 cm folds. What are the disadvantages of such curtains is their cost - they are quite expensive. But they are washable and easy to hang on any window.
Rolled. They are perfect for both the balcony and the loggia. They are not that expensive, and the endless number of variations is even more attractive - after all, you can’t go wild with traditional jalousie curtains.
Roman. But these curtains look more impressive than classic jalousie ones. Which curtains are best for a solid and elegant balcony? Functional, comfortable, made from natural fabrics - linen, cotton, silk. To prevent the fabric from fading under ultraviolet light, it is coated with a special compound.

Roller blinds or minirollo are an excellent option for decorating balcony windows on the sunny side.
These are not all the options with which you can decorate a balcony; there are also more exotic ones, which are increasingly gaining popularity.

Options for using glazed loggias

By storing unnecessary things on the loggia, you reduce the living space of the apartment. You can decorate your balcony in an original way and turn it into a room.
