Registration of the loggia: ideas, design, materials

If you dream of an original and beautiful loggia, but do not know how to do it, we will try to help you. In this article, we will present you some interesting ideas, we will help you choose the right design.

It should be noted that very often the loggia, decorated with its own hands, is not inferior to the originality and courage of the solutions offered by the professionals. But you should not think that absolutely all the work you can do yourself. Some processes (glazing, for example) should be entrusted to specialists. If you are not sure of the result of your creativity, then the "turnkey" loggia can be executed by the employees of construction companies.

Where to begin?

As a rule, the area of the loggia is not large (5-6 m ² ). Nevertheless, it is necessary to draw up a plan for the future of the interior. Think about how you would like to see this room, how you can use it with maximum efficiency. Do you need a warm loggia? Or do you just want to protect it from dust and noise?

Glazing of the loggias: the price

If you decide that your loggia should not be a storage for unnecessary things in the house, but a cozy corner of the apartment where you can relax (or work), then the repair should begin with the glazing. After that, the loggia will immediately change. What can be the glazing? It is divided into warm and cold. What is the difference? Let's consider these variants in more detail.

Cold glazing

This type of work is performed from an aluminum profile. Today it is used much less often than in the past, but it should be recognized as relevant today. This option is suitable for those who are not going to use the loggia in the cold season. Aluminum profile protects the room from dirt, dust, snow and rain. This glazing of the loggias (the price of about 25 thousand rubles) will allow you to have a rest in the warm weather here, to grow your favorite houseplants. In winter, such a premise can be used as a storage for blanks.

Warm glazing with plastic

A warm loggia means the installation of plastic windows. Usually a two-chamber plastic bag (three glasses) is used. In addition, it is necessary to insulate and other structures of the room - walls, floor, ceiling. For this, extruded polystyrene, penofol (foamed polyethylene) or other heaters are used.

I must say that the warm loggia significantly expands the design options. This method will allow you to combine this room with a kitchen or a room, which will increase the living space.

Insulated and glazed loggia "turnkey" will cost you in the budget version of at least 45 000 rubles.

We heat the floor

You can use several methods. The first of them is "water". In this case, the pipes are laid in the screed, which are connected to the heating system. The height of the floor thus rises by seven centimeters. This method requires the issuance of permits in the relevant authorities.

The second method is to insulate the floor on the loggia - electrical cable. Electrical cables are installed in the screed. It is required to fill the screed, accordingly, the amount of work is increased. The height of the floor rises by 5 cm. This option is now also used infrequently.

And, finally, the most optimal way is electric film. Such a floor has a thickness of only 3 mm. It is laid on top of the screed. On it you can lay any chosen covering - tile, linoleum, etc.

Walls

As a rule, the walls of the loggia are done in bright colors. This solution visually increases the space. The mirrors fixed on the walls create the effect of space. This technique is often used by designers to design small rooms.

The wall will not look too boring if you hang a poster or a bright picture on it.

Finishing materials

So, you created a reliable barrier against dust, noise and precipitation - the loggia is glazed and insulated. It's time to choose high-quality finishing materials. Registration of the loggia involves the use of any means that suit you. What materials are most popular? It:

• tile;
• Plastic (or wooden) panels;
• decorative plaster;
• facing stone;
• siding;
• Decorative brick.

The last version should be discussed in more detail, since it is very popular in recent years. Decorative brick has a wide range of colors: from dark brown to white. During the pressing, a special pattern is applied to it, which makes it particularly attractive.

This is a universal material - it reminds us of traditional Russian buildings, and at the same time allows us to embody the most daring and modern design projects.

How to organize space?

It's no secret that the loggia is often given a household function. In other words, old and unnecessary things are stored here. It is worth pondering whether it is necessary to litter a full-fledged building that can expand the living space?

Proper registration of the loggia will help you to get one more, even a small room. What can I do on the loggia? We offer you several options.

Cabinet

If in a small apartment you have a hard time finding a place to work, then this is the ideal option for you. Here you can not be distracted and do not interfere with anyone, but do your own business. This idea is quite easy to implement. Walls decorate strictly - use solid wallpaper or decorative plaster.

Naturally, you will need furniture: a small table, a comfortable chair or chair, shelves for documents, which should be hung over the table. Do not forget to take care of the good lighting of your work place - a desk lamp or a wall lamp.

Children's

Immediately need to say that this option is not suitable for a too small loggia. After all, it should fit and a desk, and shelves for toys, and a sports corner.

If the area allows, then immediately begin the registration of the loggia. On the walls (pre-plastered), glue the wallpaper with a cheerful and bright pattern. You can paint them with the child. For the floor, if it is not insulated, a warm and soft carpet will be required.

Greenhouse

This option will appeal to many women. A beautiful greenhouse in the house will delight with a variety of colors, amazing aromas, the room will become a favorite place of rest for all household members. It is important to choose the right plants in accordance with the time of their flowering, and then your loggia will delight you with exquisite flowers all year round.

The design of a greenhouse is more expedient to carry out in light tones - they will be harmoniously combined with greenery of plants. You will need furniture too. It can be wicker chairs and a small table.

Choosing furniture

Whichever style you choose, you should approach the selection of furniture responsibly. Registration of the loggia can be ruined if there are old chairs or tables that are not needed in the house.

Manufacturers of furniture today offer customers special series that are suitable for the design of such premises. If the loggia is narrow and tight, give preference to the built-in furniture or transformers. In the folded form, it will occupy quite a bit of space. The furniture for the loggia can be made of wood and metal, plastic or rattan.

Decorating the windows

The registration of the loggia will be incomplete if you do not think about how the windows will look. In different cases, airy tulle or laconic blinds can be used. It is not forbidden to use combined variants.

Curtains will create an atmosphere of elegance and lightness, a light haze, refracting direct sunlight and making lighting softer. To make the transparent tulle fit well into the interior of the loggia, select fabric in the tone of furniture or walls. Heavy curtains should not be used in such a room - they significantly reduce space. It is more expedient to use roller blinds.

Blinds will add functionality to the design. Open completely, they do not hold up the sun's rays, thus providing excellent lighting in the adjacent room.

Lighting

Registration of the loggia can be different. But in any case, lighting plays a special role in it. Typically, experts recommend using small local lamps that create a romantic atmosphere. But this option is completely inappropriate, for example, on the loggia-cabinet or in the greenhouse. In these cases, special lamps will be required.
