Is it good to change the balcony into a kitchen?

Theoretically, the kitchen should never be moved to the balcony unless absolutely necessary. There is no doubt that the original architectural design was standard and the functionality was comprehensive. Nowadays, a considerable number of people move the kitchen to the balcony, some customers are reasonable, and some customers' ideas are not too mature, that is, they blindly pursue the maximization of space, which has no life experience and will not be able to understand from the logic of thinking.

In fact, it is still possible to convert the balcony into a kitchen, of course, according to the above, there must be an excellent design plan. You can weigh the pros and cons, you can have a place to convert it into a kitchen, but also leave some space to help with ventilation and so on. It is important to note that generally speaking, the balcony space is not large or small, and there are drainage pipes.

If you want to convert it into a kitchen, you can also make better use of the space.

Hard conditions aside, if the balcony is transformed into a kitchen, it will affect the light in the house, and this issue needs to be seriously considered. The range hood in the kitchen can be regarded as a major item, the installation of the range hood will affect the indoor light, and the installation of an exhaust fan on the window is also an option, but the installation of an exhaust fan may cause disputes due to the fumes that affect the living environment of the neighbors, and the cleaning is also more troublesome.

The kitchen should never be moved to the balcony unless absolutely necessary. There is no doubt that the original architectural design is standard and the functionality is comprehensive.

Nowadays, a considerable number of people move the kitchen to the balcony, some customers are reasonable, and some customers are not too mature in their ideas, that is, they blindly pursue the maximization of space, which has no life experience and the logic of thinking is not clear.

I always say: there is no perfect interior design plan, there is something to gain, there must be something to lose, this is relative, everything is the same, there is no absolute thing. For example, your mother's plan is to expand the space between the living room and the bedroom (I don't know how to get this).

However, what is lost is the kitchen space, including the upper storage cabinet, the narrowness of the worktop, the narrowness of the operating space, the reduction of the indoor (winter) temperature, the increase in cost, etc.

It is indeed necessary to think twice before making this decision, otherwise, it will not be easy to change back in the future if there is an actual life situation that is not attached to you. In other words, if you think about it calmly, how often do relatives and friends visit or have a meal in the future? How many guests are staying?

Do you have a considerable hobby for cooking? Does your family have high requirements for how you feel about room temperature? And so on, considering comprehensively, weighing the pros and cons, and making a very important decision.

There are conditions for the transformation of a balcony into a kitchen in the actual operation process, and not any balcony can be transformed into a kitchen to use. First of all, it is necessary to consider whether the house type has the conditions for renovation. The conditions for the balcony to remodel the kitchen mainly include:

Whether the balcony has the conditions for water supply and discharge, and whether the renovation of the exhaust duct is feasible. But the most basic modification is whether the balcony is adjacent to or connected to the kitchen.

1. It is necessary to have water supply and water conditions.

The sewer from the balcony is directly connected to the kitchen drain pipe; Or maybe the sewer of the balcony is connected to the pipe well. The water supply condition means: under normal circumstances, when the kitchen and the balcony are adjacent and connected, these two conditions are met, and the line leading the kitchen water pipe to the balcony should be designed in advance, so that it can be achieved.

2. Whether the transformation of the exhaust flue is feasible.

The renovation of the balcony cannot be done privately, because when changing the gas pipeline, you must contact the gas company. Under normal circumstances, the gas pipeline can be rerouted, but the transformation must be paved with open pipes, and concealed projects must not be implemented. Therefore, if you want to renovate your kitchen from your balcony, you should contact the gas company in advance.

My family moved the kitchen to the balcony. At present, it is found that there is basically no difference except that the wall cabinet cannot be installed (because it is all glass). The area of my house is 60 square meters, and after moving the kitchen out, there is an additional restaurant, and there is a place to eat.

In fact, the kitchen smoke is relatively large, if only blocked by glass, I guarantee you to rub it once in two days, and if you don't clean the ordinary glass in time, it will definitely become ground glass. Although I am also in the north, I still don't know much about the cold in your northeast, so it is inconvenient to express my opinion on the issue of thermal insulation.

I also don't think it's good to change the balcony into a kitchen! There is almost no such thing in the Northeast. What's the use of a big living room?

When there are more people, there is a place to sit, but when you cook for them at home, is there enough space to cook on the balcony? Northeast people are generous, and it's not good to cook one or two dishes!! And if there is only one balcony, where can the clothes be dried?

Yes, some of our small apartments have changed the balcony into a kitchen, and the original kitchen is used to make a small study.

At present, in the city where every inch of land is expensive, using the balcony as a kitchen is indeed the first choice for many people. As long as it is properly decorated, it is not too cold, and there are only a few hours of time in the kitchen every day.

The balcony is colder in winter and can store some things. I think it's pretty good. It's just that the balcony is generally smaller in size.

If there are two people, there is a feeling that they can't turn around, and it is a little inconvenient to dry clothes. If it's at one end of the hall, it will look a little messy. You have to make your own decisions when you live on your own.

Practicality is the best option.

Just do a good job of insulation, there will be a bit of exhaust gas in winter.
