How to decorate the walls on the balcony? Design ideas and photos.

Painting

An open balcony or a glazed, cold or insulated so high quality that it turned into a separate room? The choice of finishing materials depends on many factors. Painting is the most common way to transform the walls on the balcony.

On the north-facing balcony, it is easy to “lure the sun” by painting it in warm bright colors. The south balcony, on the contrary, can be “freshened up” using cold shades. Another great idea is to paint the accent wall with slate paint and change the inscriptions and drawings according to your mood.

Acrylic or oil paints, enamels, including alkyd, are suitable for balcony walls. Paint intended for outdoor use will last longer.

Decorative plaster

A textured finish that looks more expensive and more elegant than paint. It goes well with decorative stone.

For open balconies, moisture-resistant plaster based on silicone or cement is suitable. When choosing it, you must pay attention to the mark "For outdoor work".

For glazed balconies, lime plaster is intended, the texture of which resembles natural stone. On heated loggias, a coating on a mineral or gypsum base is used.

Tile

Decorating the walls of the loggia with ceramic tiles, with the high cost of the material, is considered a popular way, but it also has both pros and cons.

If the room is small, it is advisable to tile it with a small size.Large slabs make the balcony visually smaller; products of light shades will help to visually increase it. For walls, you can choose both matte and glossy finish.

Lining

Wooden lining is very common in our country - it is a natural material that gives a glazed loggia home warmth.

To finish the balcony, it is recommended to buy a lining, as its lock is more reliable than with ordinary material.

After facing the walls, they can be painted in any color or varnished. Often not only the walls are sheathed with the lining, but also the ceiling.

Bung

The wall cladding with a cork coating, according to experts, creates the optimal microclimate on the loggia.

Before installing the panels, they must be allowed to lie down in a dry room (about 2 days). The cork is glued on a flat surface and is suitable only for closed balconies.

Laminate

This is a wood fiber coating consisting of several layers. The top layer has protective and decorative properties. As a rule, a laminate imitates a tree of various breeds and colors, including aged.

Before lining the loggia, it is necessary to make warm glazing - this issue will help specialists decide. You can carry out work on insulation and waterproofing yourself by reading useful articles and watching training videos.

The most wear-resistant type of laminate is considered material of class 33.

Drywall

Hypocom to sheathe a balcony is chosen by people who value practicality and save time. Sheets of drywall can decorate the walls only insulated loggia.

Without finishing, the walls of the gypsum plaster look unfinished, therefore, for an attractive design, they should be painted or decorated with decorative plaster.

Pvc panels

Plastic panels (or siding) are considered the most affordable material for finishing the balcony inside.

PVC panels are always attached to the crate of metal profiles or wooden beams.

Plastic slats are mounted both horizontally and vertically.

MDF panels

MDF lining or panels - the choice of those who value wood for its naturalness, but care about the durability of the finish.

The panels are mounted on a wooden crate. This allows you to hide the insulation layer and roughness of the walls.

In addition to the fully-pressed MDF panels for the decoration of the balcony, laminated products are widely used. They are characterized by increased heat resistance, durability and ease of care.

Decorative rock

One of the most beautiful and spectacular ways to decorate a balcony is artificial stone.

In terms of performance, it is not much inferior to natural stone, and sometimes surpasses it.

Today, decorative brick is especially popular. He gives the balcony a certain industrialism, but at the same time looks natural and stylish.

Wallpaper

This is not the most practical type of decoration, since the service life of the wallpaper on the balcony depends on the quality of its insulation.

In addition to conventional non-woven, paper and vinyl wallpapers, liquid or natural (bamboo) wallpapers are used for decoration. In accordance with the design idea, you can also decorate the balcony with murals that will help visually deepen the space.

Combination Finish

The use of several materials allows you to create a unique, and most importantly, practical design of the loggia.

They work well together: decorative plaster and artificial stone, paint and lining (MDF and laminate), paint and wallpaper, wood and decorative brick.

In the photo there is a loggia, in the finish of which the processed boards and white paint are harmoniously combined.

Combining the types of finishes, it’s worthwhile to create a project in advance that will provide several possible options: you can highlight one accent wall against a neutral background, design the area under the windowsill in a special way or decorate the side walls and floor in the same way. Fantasy is limited only by the budget and functionality of the balcony.
