These items cannot be stored on the balcony: remember the list

It is no secret that many balconies end up being used as storage space for everything that has no place anywhere else in the apartment.

And if you continue to store leftover paint from renovations on the balcony or store winter clothes because there is nowhere else to put them, it is better to get rid of this habit.

Let's figure out what things definitely don't belong on the balcony.

What should not be stored on the balcony

First, avoid storing paint, varnish or any other fire-hazardous items here. Remember how stuffy it can be in the summer, especially on glassed-in balconies, so one day all of this could catch fire.

Even if you have a closet on your balcony, storing things in it is a bad idea. The temperature fluctuations typical for this room will inevitably deform, become damp and become a source of unpleasant odor.

It is also worth giving up storing old, especially large household appliances: they pose a risk of structural collapse.
