So, what feng shui problems should we pay attention to when decorating the balcony? Take a look with me!
1, beam shielding
General residential building structure, there will be beams between balcony and living room. In the decoration, the balcony and living room are combined into one, and this beam will be unsightly, which is not conducive to Feng Shui and is suspected of crushing the beam. Therefore, we must do a certain degree of treatment to make it both beautiful and not depressing. In fact, the best way to deal with it is to fill in the fake ceiling and cover it up cleverly. If you want to enhance the effect, you can also place spotlights or tubes on the ceiling of the balcony for lighting, which can avoid the shadow of light, make people unable to see clearly and present hazy beauty.
2. External wall treatment
After the balcony is transformed into a living room, its external wall should not be too short. Some people like to use floor-to-ceiling glass as the exterior wall, thinking that when they look at the exterior, they will have no shelter and present a better view. As we all know, this kind of situation is just like the hollowing out of the balcony, which is the taboo of "void under the knee" in traditional Feng Shui. If the balcony is originally a French window glass and it is difficult to make changes, then the most effective remedy is to put a long low cabinet in front of the French window glass as a substitute for the low wall. If the short cabinet is too short, plants can be placed in the second emperor to fill the space, which is not only beautiful and environmentally friendly, but also in line with Feng Shui.
3. Bearing principle
Because the balcony is generally a part that protrudes outside the house, its bearing capacity is limited. Therefore, when converting into a living room, we must be careful and follow certain load-bearing principles. Otherwise, it not only threatens the structural safety of the building and causes danger, but also is not conducive to the feng shui of the balcony, which makes the originally relaxed balcony bear too much weight and destroys the original gas field of the balcony.
When the living room and balcony are unified, don't use too heavy decoration materials. For example, some people like to use marble to lay the floor of the living room, which is understandable, but if the balcony is also paved with marble, I am afraid it will be unbearable. In addition, don't put too many heavy objects on the original balcony, and don't put all heavy objects including big cabinets, sofas and rockeries on the balcony, because these tall and heavy objects will overload the balcony and pose certain risks.
In fact, after the balcony renovation, it is most appropriate to put lighter items there, which will not affect the safety, but also maintain the original empty and refreshing feeling. In a word, it will never happen overnight to modify the balcony into a living room. Must be carefully planned, carefully designed, in line with feng shui, in line with the principles of building safety.
4. Why should the balcony be clean and refreshing?
Due to the limitation of living conditions, the balcony has always played a secondary role in the house. In many families, the balcony is just a place for stacking sundries and washing clothes. But in fact, as an important space for the house to communicate with the outside world, the balcony is an important channel for the house and represents the face of a family, which can never be ignored.
With the improvement of modern living standards, many buildings distinguish viewing balconies from working balconies, and the appearance of floor-to-ceiling windows makes balconies a continuation of indoor space. Even so, out of habit, many people still like to pile up sundries and place washing machines on the balcony, which will make the balcony messy, destroy the feng shui of the balcony and affect the beauty and comfort of the family.
