As an old Chinese saying goes, "Home is a house, while court is an empty space." It means that home and court always accompany each other. A home, however, needs a little space. However, it is now commonplace to have a family without a court. After all, the price of the "court" is too expensive, and more and more people choose to occupy the space of the balcony. Do you want sliding doors in the living room and balcony? Look at your house type, don't follow the trend blindly!
Do you want sliding doors in the living room and balcony?

Whether sliding doors are used in living rooms and balconies depends on the size of the house, lighting, external environment, personal needs and other comprehensive factors. According to the floor height:
1. Low floor, need to block dust
Low floor houses (especially those below the fifth floor) have low floors and relatively poor air quality. It is better to make a sliding door between the living room and the balcony to block the entrance of dust and keep the interior clean.
2. Floors with poor lighting
For floors with poor lighting, try not to install sliding doors. If it is really necessary to separate a space, consider transparent elements for separation, such as transparent sliding doors, half height partitions, cord fabric partitions, etc.
3. Small family living room
Because the living room area is small, if you do a sliding door, it will reduce the living room's use area even more. At the same time, the lighting and permeability of the living room will also be affected. Therefore, in the small family living room, I suggest that you do not make partitions.
4. Normal or large house type
For the house type with sufficient living room area, a sliding door can be installed between the balcony and the living room, which can block the dust outside, and also play a role in rain and noise pollution. And after the partition, the privacy of the living room space is also stronger.
5. Safety performance considerations
The sliding door between the balcony and the living room can effectively prevent illegal elements from entering and infringing, and ensure the safety of property in the home; At the same time, if there are children at home, the partition also plays a safe role.
6. Practicability
If there is no sliding door between the living room and the balcony, and the space is not differentiated, then the clothes dried on the balcony may be clearly visible, and outdoor dust can easily enter the living room. With partition, these problems can be avoided! In hot summer, the partition can play a certain role in heat insulation. In cold winter, sliding doors also play a certain role in indoor insulation.

How to decorate the partition between the living room and the balcony?
1. Make a corner desk
We can make a corner desk at one corner of the balcony, and a bookcase at the top, and a desk or a storage cabinet at the bottom. This can make good use of the space at the corner, add a reading area for the host, and ingeniously separate the guest room from the balcony.
2. Soft partition
If you want to make these two spaces independent, and do not want to make the room look too narrow, the bead curtain is very applicable, and it will not affect the lighting of the room. Also like gauze curtain, it is light and convenient.
 

Precautions for sliding doors in living room and balcony
1. Ensure the lighting and ventilation of the living room
If your balcony is to be sealed, you should consider its lighting, ventilation, insulation and other aspects before construction, and its packaging quality should not be underestimated. If there is no door between the living room and the balcony, it is better to close the balcony, which can effectively prevent noise pollution, at the same time, it can prevent sand and dust, and conduct thermal insulation.
2. The style of living room and balcony should be consistent
Because there is no door between the two spaces, it seems that the two areas are connected together, as if they are a whole. In home decoration, in addition to mix and match styles, we all pay attention to integrity and coordination. Therefore, the style and color of the living room and balcony should be consistent. If the living room and balcony are two completely different styles, it will make people feel strange.
3. It is better to make suspended ceiling for balcony
Because there is no door or wall between the two areas, we can have a panoramic view of the balcony even in the hall. If there are exposed pipes on the balcony, it will be very unsightly. Therefore, the balcony needs a suspended ceiling, so that the pipes on the top surface of the balcony, the uneven top surface, the insufficient internal corners and other phenomena can be hidden, which can make the balcony look more beautiful and convenient to clean.
4. A partition can be properly made
If you want to make the division of labor between these two areas obvious, we can make some partitions to separate them, such as a simple curtain, or put a small bookcase, flowers and grass, etc.
Here is the little knowledge about the living room and balcony. In fact, there are many design methods for the living room and balcony, such as practical laundry and clothes drying area, comfortable and relaxing leisure area, etc. Of course, we can also partition the living room and balcony according to its use needs and our own preferences
