If in the rooms you can choose furniture and a bed in a big way - massive, bulky designs, then in the case of a balcony everything is exactly the opposite. Every meter, yes there, every centimeter is important in this nook! The following points will help you competently approach the purchase of furniture.

• The regularity of operation. It is necessary to clearly understand what the bed is for. If you plan to sleep every day on the balcony, you should think about comfort: a transforming bed will cope with this task.

Therefore, proper prioritization will help save space.

• Sofa. A competent solution may be to install a folding sofa or chair with a sliding mechanism on the balcony: during wakeful moments, a piece of furniture will occupy very little space, giving freedom of movement, and at night can serve as a full bed.

• Seasonality To use the balcony in summer, it is appropriate to use a deck chair: the structure is quickly disassembled, while creating a comfortable reclining position. In cold weather, such an accessory will not be suitable for use, so you should remember about the seasons when buying this or that piece of furniture.

With a flick of the wrist, you can tighten the bed, and after sleeping, remove it with the same movement, saving space: is this not a fairy tale? A lot of time has passed since the creation of the first folding bed, and the quality of the products has improved. Now the folding bed is not inferior in characteristics to stationary: but this is only true if you buy a quality bed from a well-known brand.

In the case of the acquisition of low-quality Chinese products, the purchase may turn out not to be a sweet dream, but a quiet horror: the loops will creak and break at every opportunity, and one day they may completely fall off.

There are two types of rollaway beds.

• Folding mechanism on top. The assembled structure is a kind of cabinet on which you can install decor items. When using the bed, you need to pull the bed towards yourself using the push-pull mechanism. Such beds are most often single beds, so they take up less space when folded and are suitable even for very narrow spaces.
• Folding mechanism on the side. Assembled is a chest of drawers on which you can also install any items in doubled quantities. It is disassembled by repulse the mechanism that pushes the bed space to the side.

In choosing design solutions, you can’t walk around. In such compressed sizes it is desirable to choose minimalistic ideas in which one shade of color prevails. From the color scheme, it is better to choose calm pastel tones, because this will compensate for the stingy light in the dark.

• Scandinavian. The essence of style is the interweaving of traditional furniture items from countries such as Norway, Finland, Denmark and Sweden. Dark wood in combination with both straight and curved lines will create a cozy corner for sleeping.

• Natural. The “live” corner looks good when all colors have green hues, and the objects of decor are plants. The plant will not only add a piece of nature to the room, but will also help to clean the air in a small area of ​​space.

• Loft. The loft is partly the balcony - a room that is usually deprived of attention and is not used by a wide circle of people as a bedroom.A wooden bed, several shelves in the form of straight boards are what you need for a designer impulse.

Ready-made ideas on how to equip a loggia will help you in arranging your corner.

• Half of the area is occupied by a full berth with drawers at the base, as well as a small shelf on the other side of the bed. This option is convenient because in the drawers under the bed you can store any accessories for sleeping or something else. The second half of the free space can be left untouched, so that after sleep you can calmly get out of bed.

• Balcony in green colors with a corner bedroom, bedside table and lighting in the form of paper lamps. Perfect for lovers of aesthetically beautiful views. There is not much practical value in such beauty, however, its one appearance compensates for this ailment.

• Installation of a mattress on the floor, a large number of pillows with a berth. Several high shelves and a table near the bed. It is practical and at the same time inconvenient for one reason: waking up with a view of the street will not work, you will have to get up to see the beauties.
