In general decoration, the balcony is used as a place to dry clothes, place potted plants, enjoy the beautiful scenery or store miscellaneous items.

There is nothing wrong with such a setting, because the balcony belongs to the corners of the house after all, especially in many small apartments. The width of the balcony itself is limited. If you want to put two chairs there for drinking tea, it seems narrow; if you want to use it to dry clothes, it seems a bit of a waste of resources.

In fact, the balcony is located near the window and has a unique geographical location, so there are many options for renovation. Especially for small apartments with limited area, making good use of this scrap will greatly improve the space utilization rate of the entire apartment, making effective use of every inch of indoor area and improving the quality of life.

Nowadays, more and more people understand the value of balconies and make full use of them. Balconies are often transformed into various spaces, such as kitchens, study rooms, tea rooms, book bars, and bar counters. For a small balcony with a width of only 1.2 meters, if you want to transform it into a study room with unique conditions where you can bathe in the sun, drink afternoon tea, and read quietly, what should you do?

1. Reading and leisure space: soft benches and small bar

The balcony is too small to accommodate a complete set of coffee tables and chairs, but a semi-reclining bench and a small bar that can hold two small tea cups are more than enough. The semi-circular arc bar can fully save space and reduce the congestion of the small balcony. Facing the sunshine outside the window, quietly share a pot of tea and a cup of coffee with your family. It is really comfortable to have a warm bench for reading when you are alone.

2. A workbench by the window: a place to focus on work

The narrow balcony space may provide an environment where you can concentrate more. A bookshelf is set on one side of the wall. The workbench does not need to be too large, just enough to put the computer and a few books. Draw the curtains, and the bright sunshine is outside; close the curtains, and the room is a narrow but completely your own space, without being disturbed by the noisy TV indoors. Forget about socializing temporarily, and work and read more attentively in this environment. On Sunday morning, when you want to turn on the computer to write something, it is really the best place.

There is also a small table that can be hung on the balcony railing, so you can take care of some of your favorite potted plants while working outdoors.

3. Leisurely and interesting reading space

Sometimes, time alone is also very precious. A more interesting space can also make you enjoy your time in this environment more. At the same time, when looking at the balcony from the interior, there are some interesting furniture arrangements, which creates an interesting picture and adds some fun to the interior.

I like the cocoon-shaped swing chair in the picture below. I also like the pleasure of sitting outdoors on a soft, wobbly chair and reading a book. When you don't want to read, you can close your eyes and take a nap, or look at the scenery in the distance.

However, perhaps a chair placed directly on the balcony floor is not suitable for a domestic home. After all, the outdoor ground is not so clean.

There can be an interestingly designed bookshelf near the seat. The leisure reading materials and favorite plants that you usually read on the balcony can be placed on the shelf in an interlaced manner, which is also quite interesting.
