Photos of cabinets for balconies

Having a balcony or loggia is a real salvation for an apartment, especially a small one. The loggia is used as additional space for storing items that have no place in the living room: household supplies, tools, sports and gardening tools. In order not to clutter up the space, a loggia cabinet will help organize storage; you can make it yourself or order it from a specialized company in individual sizes.

Depending on the size of the balcony, you can choose a built-in or cabinet structure. A built-in wardrobe takes up little space, which is especially important when installing it on a small, narrow balcony or near a door. Corpus is standard cabinet, with four walls and doors. In addition, there are corner structures. They are larger in size, suitable for installation on spacious loggias, but also more spacious.

Based on the type of doors, there are several types of loggia cabinets:

cabinets with hinged doors;
compartment designs with sliding doors;
cabinets with accordion doors;
Roller cabinets - the doors look like blinds and open by sliding them upward.

Swing

Harmonic

Roller shutters

Loggia cabinets can also vary in the number of doors:

two-door designs - can be either sliding or hinged;
four-door - usually used when it is necessary to divide internal sections for storing different things, for example, household supplies for the winter and tools. These are sliding wardrobes for balconies and hinged structures;
Roller shutter types of cabinets with one door.

But it is not necessary for the closet on the loggia to have doors. It could be open system storage consisting of shelves.

Two door

Three-door

By functionality balcony systems storages are:

wardrobe closet on an insulated loggia. It is a complete wardrobe for storing clothes. Often similar design has a seat attached to the side and located under the window of the room adjacent to the balcony. This design is intended for convenient use even in winter;
cabinet for storing conservation, tools, equipment. May have many shelves, doors and sections, depending on size;
a cabinet used as a freezer in winter: it is located under the windowsill of the loggia.

The functionality of cabinets often depends on the size of the balcony, the degree of its insulation, and the purpose of using the loggia: for example, if an insulated loggia is used as a workplace, the cabinet will be filled not with jars of pickles, but with books, folders, and documents.

Manufacturing materials

The design of a built-in wardrobe on a balcony, a photo of one of which is presented below, consists of a frame, side part, doors and trim. Different materials can be used for each component of the structure:

frame - can be made of timber with a section of 40x40, 50x50 or aluminum profile. This frame is durable, but is only suitable for installation on an insulated loggia, since wood is exposed to high humidity air, and is able to change size depending on the level of humidity. Galvanized aluminum, from which the profile is made, in this case is the best option, however, not every shelf is aluminum frame able to withstand heavy weight;
shelves - sheet materials are used to make shelves: chipboard, laminated chipboard, OSB, thick plywood. When attaching shelves to an aluminum profile, it is best to use metal guides and brackets for them. Examples of such fastenings can be seen below;
side walls - for covering the frame the following can be used: wood, chipboard, thick plywood, plasterboard, plastic, MDF, aluminum profile. Aluminum facades are easy to assemble, but this material is very susceptible to harmful influences external environment. If the balcony is not glazed or insulated, it is recommended to use plastic as it is the most resistant to external influences, material. Drywall is especially vulnerable to high humidity, however, great importance at the same time has exterior finishing;
doors and external decoration - cabinet doors can be made independently according to a sample, or purchased ready-made hardware store. The last option is the only possible one if you install louvered doors. For compartment doors you will have to purchase guides and rollers for them.

Typically, doors for a cabinet on a balcony are made of the same material as the side walls, but this only applies to cabinet structures; for built-in ones, any options are possible. For wooden cabinet Wooden doors are installed on the balcony. If an aluminum cabinet is installed on a balcony, doors made of a similar material or plastic will be combined with it, because such facades are usually white, like plastic.

To increase the strength of structures made of plasterboard or wood, with outside they are sheathed with finishing materials: clapboard, plastic or wood panels. The balcony cabinet made of lining looks neat and protects the frame from harmful effects, but when finishing it with this material, the slats should be covered protective equipment, for example, wood varnish. A clapboard cabinet on the balcony is less practical than a sheathed structure plastic panels

, especially if the loggia is not glazed.

Wood

Plastic

The placement of open shelves and cabinets on the balcony depends on its size, shape and volume of glazed area. Regarding the placement of cabinets on the loggia, everything is much simpler: as a rule, this is a space of at least 2 m2, glazed on only one, maximum, on both sides. Thus, there is always at least one wall 1.2-2.0 m wide, near which the storage system is installed. The balcony can also be glazed on one side, but in this case, it is possible to install only a cabinet cabinet, and not a built-in one, due to the thickness of the walls.

If there is glazing on three sides, in this case the free area must be arranged: the wall adjacent to the room and the space under the window sills. If the balcony is narrow, you can use the space under one of the side windows and place a low cabinet there. On the wall adjacent to the room you can hang open shelves who don't take as much free space like a closet.

In the presence of large space on the loggia, the placement of cabinets can be done as desired: by occupying a corner, arranging corner system storage, or arrange the structure in a “P” shape, taking up space under the window and in the corner, or occupying the entire corner and placing a seat near the wall.

Shape and dimensions

The shape of the cabinets for the balcony depends on its location - in the corner, along the wall, along the height of the wall. The cabinet may have open shelves without doors, or doors of various designs.

If the cabinet for the balcony is made directly only for storing cans with blanks, it is recommended to save on materials and space, and install a rack with shelves on brackets fixed to metal profile. Good decision is to install a cabinet with open shelves on the side on which you can place flower pots.

The sizes of cabinets designed to store wheels on the balcony during the season, tools, or products will vary. In the first case, it is necessary to select the size of one side wall, and in other cases, a small area under the window will be sufficient.

The standard height of balcony cabinets is from 2500 to 2700 mm if you plan to install a built-in structure. Convenient work zone should be located at a height of 2200 mm, it is recommended to leave space under the ceiling for mezzanines. If you plan to store things, the height of the cabinet should be 1800 mm with a margin of 400-700 mm to the floor to be able to place. The width of each shelf should be 400-500 mm; the distance between smaller walls is not practical.

The depth of the cabinet in which things will be placed must be at least 520-580 mm. If it is not intended for storing clothes, the optimal depth is 350-450 mm for installation on a narrow balcony. If it is not possible to install furniture even of this depth, it makes sense to pay attention to the placement of open shelving.

Furniture requirements

When making or purchasing a balcony cabinet, you should follow the recommendations:

To extend the life of wooden furniture, you should coat it protective varnish or stain;
It is not recommended to choose colored facades: under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, they will lose their shade. The best option is white;
if you want to make louvered doors, it is not recommended to purchase them from finished form made of wood - their service life is not long; after some time, thin planks are deformed from moisture and temperature changes;
furniture made of metal-plastic is not exposed to ultraviolet radiation and moisture;
if the frame is covered with plasterboard, it is necessary to choose a moisture-resistant type;
the design of the cabinet fronts is also very important: it must match general design the entire balcony and its style;
when it is not possible to install spacious wardrobe near the wall, you can build a spacious chest on the balcony with your own hands, which will serve as a storage box and a seat at the same time;
It is better to place the corner cabinet on the loggia irregular shape, on standard balconies it takes up too much space;
from the point of view of convenience and ergonomics, roller doors are the most suitable for a balcony cabinet.

Which balcony cabinet is best is decided individually, and this decision depends on many factors. To get a good idea of what really suits a specific interior design with custom sizes, it’s worth taking a closer look and taking some ideas from the photographs presented below. Thus, in the closet on the balcony, the photo collection shown below can accommodate everything you need.
