How to design the terrace on the second floor? First, build a secret garden for friends who like flowers and plants. If the terrace has superior geographical conditions, it can be turned into a secret garden. This kind of garden is simple. Decorate with potted plants that are easy to grow, and arrange and design according to the types and sizes of plants. Plants such as Chinese rose, lavender and ivy cover the terrace, adding a natural beauty to life.
Second: build a leisure area. Building the terrace into a leisure area is one of the favorite designs of young people at present. It is a pleasant thing to make a design and plan as a whole, set up a shed roof, put on favorite plants and decorations, and then put on a group of small sofas or tables and chairs to bask in the sun in a daze in your spare time.
Third: Create a multi-functional area If the balcony space is too large, then as long as it is used well, it can be turned into a multi-functional area integrating entertainment, leisure and clothes drying, providing convenience for our lives. After a busy week's work, we can get together and chat with three or five friends to make life better and better.
The decoration design of the terrace on the second floor is related to the area of the terrace and the family's demand for use functions:
1. Design of large balcony If the balcony is relatively large, I think the following aspects can be considered when designing:
(1) first determine the use function.
If the terrace area is large, you can choose to make a comprehensive layout of "leisure area+dining area+entertainment area". The area is divided according to the total area and demand of the terrace, which is not necessarily "big enough", and some areas are also very good!
① Leisure area. The layout of the leisure area is dominated by leisure sofas, and rattan or wrought iron materials are mostly used. The rattan sofa is lazy and has a strong sense of leisure; Tieyi sofa is relatively neat, its "sense of volume" is smaller than rattan sofa, and it will not make the terrace feel "crowded" when used in a small terrace.
② Dining area. Choosing an area as a dining area does not require much space. Set up a dining table to accommodate 4-6 people, which can satisfy three or five friends, especially in early summer and autumn, when the breeze blows gently, eating barbecue and drinking draft beer, chatting and drinking, regardless of time.
③ Entertainment area. If there is a "low wall" on the edge of the terrace, the height is similar to that of the bar, you can thicken the low wall later, or set up a table with a suitable width to make a bar, where you can put some bar chairs and sit there overlooking when you are free. The "small" entertainment area is also very beautiful!
Tip: In the overall design of the terrace, in order to highlight a certain area or increase the "horizontal level" of the terrace, you can choose the setting of "platform", and it will be better to add lighting at the edge of the platform.
⑵ Do you choose to build a gazebo or a sun room?
For a large balcony, you can choose to build a sun room or pavilion with a certain area, which has the practical function of sheltering from wind and rain and sun, and its own shape will become a good decoration for the balcony.
Tip: Before construction, you need to go to the property consultation for the record. In order to ensure the unity, beauty and safety of the community, some properties are not allowed to be built, and some properties will have requirements on height, area, material and even color even if they are allowed.
(3) Selection of materials
I think the materials available for the terrace are anticorrosive wood, outdoor floor, outdoor paint and stone or tiles suitable for outdoor use.
In order to create a leisure atmosphere, the floor of the leisure area can be made of anticorrosive wood or outdoor floor; Considering that the floor of the dining area needs to be taken care of, non-slip bricks will be a good choice.
The material of the wall needs to be combined with the requirements of the property. Some properties will require the use of materials of the same color on the walls to maintain the unity of the community, such as paint of the same color. If there is no requirement, you can choose according to your own preferences and the environment you want to create.
(4) Lighting settings
With the combination of point light source and light strip, the light strip can set off the ambient atmosphere well and play a good role in the outline of modeling.
As for the creation of romantic atmosphere, leave it to "point light source", such as using light bulbs or candles. You can basically imagine the romantic environment of the terrace.
2. Terrace design with small area If the terrace on the second floor is small, I think it can be divided into two situations when designing: the terrace is completely closed or the terrace is not closed.
(1) The terrace is completely closed. Close the terrace and expand it into a "one room" to "supplement" the shortage of family space, such as designing it into a study, a tea room, a rest area and a children's play area. ...
Because it is a totally enclosed space, its design can be treated as "indoor space". Choose to continue the decoration style and material use of other spaces in the family, without worrying about disharmony, and the family as a whole is better; You can also design distinctive areas according to the use function of the space (such as a tea room with simple design style) to make the home "different" ...
(2) The terrace is not closed. A small terrace that is not closed can be designed as a leisure area, a small garden, etc. It is also a kind of "fun" to let yourself have a direct "dialogue" with nature at home! In the use of materials, combined with the requirements of the property and personal preferences, the use of anti-corrosion wood, outdoor floors, tiles or stone suitable for outdoor use.
Precautions for balcony decoration on the second floor Although the balcony is located on the second floor and sounds low, we should pay attention to safety and take some protective measures to prevent accidents.
1, adding a ceiling for China and a ceiling for the terrace is a practical design. Make an overall layout of the second floor. According to the decoration style of the second floor, choose the material of the balcony ceiling, wood or glass, and then design and arrange it. On the one hand, it can prevent the rain and snow from damaging the indoor space, on the other hand, it can enhance the comfort of living and make people feel warm.
Although the guardrail is on the second floor, it still has a certain height. For the elderly and children at home, such a terrace is more dangerous. Therefore, in the design, according to the structure of the terrace, guardrails are added to the terrace to increase the safety of living.
3. The drainage management terrace is exposed in people's field of vision without shelter, which increases the situation of water seepage in rainy and snowy weather. Therefore, drainage measures must be taken when designing, such as waterproof layer, slope treatment or floor drain.
