Why is order on Russian balconies a big rarity?

The balcony is part of our home. All owners of additional premises agree with this statement. And those people who do not have a balcony are madly jealous of the owners of this "spare room". However, not always such "rooms" are pleased with the order and well-groomed, like the rest of the apartment.

How do Russians use balconies

Indeed, homeowners who have these areas have something to envy. After all, they receive not only additional meters, but also additional opportunities.

  • Make a great place to relax, needlework or work.
  • Install Storage Systems and use the extra space as a neat and quite decent pantry.
  • Attach to roomby increasing its area.

But is this potential used?

Such different Russian balconies

Generally, if you do a little research and look at your own loggia, as well as the loggias and balconies of friends and neighbors, you can understand that all Russians are divided into three completely unequal groups.

Room

  • The smallest community of people combines passion to design a balcony as a separate room. That just do not manage to create from a small room. This is a cozy dining room, and a bedroom in relatively fresh air, and a children's room, and even a small living room. On the balcony you can wonderfully arrange a study or a lovely room for needlework.

REFERENCE. Special troubles for all this splendor is not required, especially if you make a summer room.

Just need to disassemble the landfill and make a small repair. And if you apply a loft style, you can further reduce costs.

Pantry

The second group of people is a little more numerous. These are those comrades who have already been imbued with the ideas of great cracking, but still adhere to the thoughts of creating a dryer on the loggia and a small storeroom "at hand".

Such places also look quite neat.

Dump

The third category of people is the largest. These are people of the Soviet school and citizens joined them.

They have everything on extra space. It is easy to find a children's pot and dried ficus, broken skis and a goalkeeper’s uniform, three-liter jars with huge spiders and pieces of wallpaper, boards, panels, building glue and buckets from under it.

All this magnificence is completed by a disassembled bicycle, a wing from "Moskvich" and an old coat with a collar gnawed by moths. Occasionally they try to disassemble such a dump, but this does not help much.

Why balconies turned into storage

This custom came, most likely from communal. Their tiny rooms were not able to accommodate everything that tenants tried to keep.

Then came era of general scarcitywhen the garbage received not only the second, but, often, the third life. And a bunch of useful things could be made from an old bicycle, and glass jars were massively used for household blanks.

Then came time for mass glazingwhen the dump on the balcony received an almost legal status.

IMPORTANT! In accordance with applicable laws, glazing of balconies must be approved in the prescribed manner and included in the floor plan.

At present, the balconies are cluttered up, most likely out of habit. Although the young advanced generation tries to get rid of the trash immediately and forever.

How are the balconies in our country

Unfortunately, becoming the masters of this particular area, most of our compatriots does not take the trouble to establish an elementary order on the balcony.

Therefore, balconies are not a decoration of the building, but its problem. Even if it is a glazed room. For years, the accumulated trash can not be hidden behind the glass.

Do not differ responsibility and management companies. It is they who must monitor the proper condition of the protruding plate. but balcony collapses have become familiar.

And can it be different?

The answer is: yes, you can! To see this, just look at overseas balconies. They look like pretty pictures. Decorated with wrought iron bars and bright colors, such open spaces become a delight to the eyes of those who pass and the pride of the owners.

The foreign balcony becomes a full-fledged rest room, where they usually sit on warm evenings or work on frosty days. A warm room becomes a continuation of a room or a kitchen, a "green corner", which is so needed by residents of large and small cities.


True, it looks attractive?

Hopefully, over time, we will be able to see such balconies in Russian cities.
