What Is a Balcony?

Terrace vs. Balcony

Back to Top

A terrace and a balcony are great ways to expand living space and connect the inside with the outside. Both add visual interest to a property's exterior and maximize living space, allowing homeowners to enjoy the outdoors within easy reach of the comfort of their own home.

The two structures are often mistaken for each other, and while they have similar features, each has its own architectural characteristics and purpose, and there are significant differences between the two regarding location, size, and construction. Read on to find out how balconies and terraces differ, what the origins of each are, and how to make the best use of these outdoor spaces in your own home.

Key Characteristics

Terrace

Next to or on top of a building

Open, not enclosed

Large in size

Entrance is not through an indoor room

Often a public space, especially if located at the top of a building

Balcony

Attached to the side of a building

Enclosed by a low railing or wall

Usually small and narrow in size

Entrance is through an indoor room

A private space

What Is a Terrace?

A terrace is a paved or tiled outdoor area next to or at the top of a building. It's open, flat, and (when not located on a rooftop), it's slightly raised. The word terrace originates in 16th-century Old French and Latin, in which the word "terra" means earth.

Location

A terrace is an outdoor area located next to or sometimes at the top of a building. Unlike a balcony, it is not necessarily attached to a building and can be completely free-standing. It's an open space that's usually only slightly raised, and because it's not physically connected to a building (unless it's a rooftop terrace), it doesn't need to be entered through a room inside the house.

Size

Much larger than a balcony, a terrace can span almost the entire surface of a rooftop when located at the top of a building, and it's often used as a garden or an entertaining space. In a busy city, it's an excellent opportunity to build a quiet oasis that feels far removed from the hustle and bustle of the crowded streets.

Terraces located next to a house also tend to be large. They're slightly elevated and provide generous outdoor living space for homeowners, perfect for entertaining or relaxing outside while the weather is nice. They can also be valuable when selling a home, mainly when private outdoor space is tough to find.

Architecture

Often an entirely free-standing construction, a terrace is built from the ground up and finished with a paved, tiled, or wood-planked surface. If using wood, it's essential to use a moisture-resistant type that's been treated for the outdoors so that the terrace remains in good shape and looks new for years.

Popular terrace design ideas include turning outdoor areas into usable seating areas for relaxation, including shaded areas. Terraces can consist of plant arrangements, outdoor decor, and lighting options, all wonderful for entertaining.

What Is a Porch?

What Is a Balcony?

A balcony is a raised outdoor platform attached to the side of a building and enclosed by a low railing, accessible from an upper floor and designed to extend living space past the indoors. The word balcony comes from the Old Italian word "balcone" and dates back to the 17th century; one of the most famous balconies in the world is Juliet's balcony (of "Romeo and Juliet" fame) in Verona, Italy.

Location

A balcony is a raised outdoor platform attached to the side of a building and enclosed by a low railing or wall. It is usually accessible through an upper floor and generally only has one access point, such as a door.

Size

Balconies tend to be long and narrow and much smaller than a terrace. The balcony size also varies depending on whether it is attached to an apartment building or a house, the latter usually larger. Generally, a balcony is at least four feet deep, making it an ideal space for a small-sized outdoor bistro set to enjoy a morning cup of coffee, a place to grow and display herbs and tomatoes, or a spot for your exercise mat to get in a yoga session in the fresh air.

Architecture

If you've ever wondered how balconies are built and how they manage to stay in the air, the hidden structural support comes from joists added to the existing building's beams. They are fastened together to secure the structure and support the balcony's weight.

Terrace vs. Balcony

Terraces are usable outdoor spaces designed for the side of a home or roof of a building, while balconies are elevated platforms that jut out from a room. Both are exterior structures.

Terraces and balconies are common features in various styles of homes, but iconic examples of each immediately come to mind. Perhaps the most famous of all balconies, Juliet's balcony in Verona is so iconic that it inspired a namesake structure, the Juliet balcony: a particularly narrow balcony that's often only inches deep but adds a feeling of openness and light as well as aesthetic charm, thanks to a very ornate railing.

Similarly, rooftop terraces, such as the one at the top of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, represent the structure; a large open space offering spectacular views and an oasis above a crowded city. Unsurprisingly, balconies and terraces continue to be a popular feature in private homes and public buildings, given that they do exactly what they were designed to do: extend and maximize living space and connect often-small indoor spaces with the openness of the outdoors.

Porch, Balcony, Veranda, Patio 和 Deck的区别是什么? - 知乎首发于若愚英塾切换模式写文章登录/注册Porch, Balcony, Veranda, Patio 和 Deck的区别是什么?若愚英塾The porch.门廊,门厅A porch is a covered shelter projecting in front of the entrance of a house or building in general. The structure is external to the walls of the building but it may be enclosed in certain types of frames including walls, columns or screens, extending from the main structure.门廊是通常在房屋或建筑物入口前的一块地方,一般是突出来,上方有雨搭。 一般而言该结构在建筑物墙壁的外部,意思是就是暴露在外的,但也可以是一个用塑钢门窗等封闭起来的封闭结构,从主体建筑结构中延伸出来。The balcony.A balcony is a platform on the outside of a building, enclosed by walls or balustrades, supported by columns or console brackets. The platform is projecting from the wall of a building, usually above the ground floor. Balconies are typically small and are not used as social spaces or for entertainment purposes.阳台是建筑物外部的平台,被墙或栏杆围住,并由柱子或控制台支架支撑。 平台从建筑物的墙壁伸出,通常是高于地面的。 阳台通常很小,不被用作社交场所或娱乐目的。The veranda.阳台This term has two forms, ‘verandah’ also being correct, although the version without an ‘h’ is usually preferred. A veranda is a roofed platform along the outside of a house. It’s level with the ground floor and often extends across both the front and the sides of the structure. It can be partly enclosed by a railing.这个词一般有两种写法,veranda 和verandah,尽管通常习惯写前者。 这种阳台是房屋外部的有屋顶的平台, 它一般是和一楼是处于同一水平的,并且通常延伸到建筑结构的正面和侧面,有的时候可以有一部分围栏。The patio.天井,露台A patio is a paved outdoor area adjoining a house, generally used for dining or recreation. The term comes from Spanish where its meaning is different (inner courtyard). Common materials employed when building a patio include concrete, stone, bricks but also tiles or cobbles. Patios are often decorated with plants and outdoor furniture.天井是与房屋相连的铺砌的室外区域,通常用于用餐或娱乐。 该术语来自西班牙语,但在西班牙语的含义是不同的(指的是内部的院子)。 建造露台时使用的常见材料包括混凝土,石材,砖块以及瓷砖或鹅卵石。 凉亭经常以植物和户外家具装饰。The deck.木质露台A deck is a flat, usually roofless platform adjoining a house. Decks are typically made of lumber and are elevated from the ground. It can include spaces for BBQing, dining as well as seating. Decks are generally enclosed by a railing. In some cases, decks can also be covered by a canopy or pergola.木质露台是连接房屋的平台,通常无屋顶,一般由木材制成,高于地面。 它可以包括烧烤,用餐和座位的空间。 通常被栏杆包围,在某些情况下,上方也会设置雨蓬。本文源自总有一次遇见,会弥合所有的错过。如果觉得对您有用,请点赞鼓励并请关注我的知乎专栏,我也在同名微信公众号《若愚英塾》探讨常见英语问题,欢迎关注。发布于 2020-06-24 19:31建筑英语学习阳台​赞同 28​​添加评论​分享​喜欢​收藏​申请转载​文章被以下专栏收录若愚英塾用白痴都能听懂的语言讲英

Word History

Etymology

borrowed from Italian balcone, earlier also "window (opening), bay window," probably, via the sense "board closing a window, shutter" (as in Upper Italian —15th-century Venetian— balchon "window shutter"), from balc- (borrowed from Langobardic *balkōn "beam," going back to Germanic) + -one, noun suffix, going back to Latin -ō, -ōn-, suffix of nouns denoting persons with a prominent feature — more at balk entry 2

Note:

The Germanic n-stem *balkōn has been adapted to Italo-Romance by means of the suffix -one; parallel adaptations are Italian gherone "gusset, gore," going back, via Langobardic, to Germanic *gaizōn "wedge, flap of a garment" (see gore entry 1); magone (early and regional) "stomach, gizzard," going back to Germanic *magōn "stomach." Balcone in the sense "window" is attested in literary Tuscan since Boccaccio (1341) and persists into the twentieth century most strongly in dialects of the northeast (Veneto, Trentino, Friuli—see Lessico etimologico italiano, Germanismi, vol. 1); attestations in Medieval Latin go back to the twelfth century or earlier. Presumably this meaning is an extension from earlier "shutter," attested in a narrower range of Upper Italian dialects and going back to the fifteenth century in a Venetian text. H. and R. Kahane ("Balcone, the Window," Romance Philology, vol. 30, no. 4 [May, 1977], pp. 565-73) take "board closing a glassless window opening" as the original Langobardic meaning. Note in this regard balcón "trapdoor in the floor of a hayloft" in a dialect of Ticino, with comparable forms and senses in Ladin. A different angle appears to be followed by the Lessico, which points to the meaning "plank floor" (ballatoio), attested as Upper Italian balcon (thirteenth century), Genoese barcon (before 1311), and Piedmontese balcon (thirteenth century). The sense "plank floor" would then have hypothetically been extended to "window sill" (which would have been at or slightly above the level of the floor), and then "window opening." The Lessico records the sense "balcony" in the vernacular in 1312, though Latin forms of the word—in either the sense "balcony" or "opening for a window, bay"— are significantly earlier; according to the Kahanes, who believed balcones was broadcast through western Europe by the Cluniac reforms, they can be dated to the tenth century in England, though this would be earlier than Italian records. The later promulgation of the Italian word to European languages in the quite specific sense "balcony" was a product of the Renaissance and the influence of Italian architecture.

Though they typically come with less square footage, a balcony can still function as a bite-size backyard, meaning everything from furniture to lighting to landscaping can still be incorporated tastefully and functionally. Below, we’re sharing 14 inspiring balcony decor ideas—including small balcony ideas—that will help you make the most of your personal retreat.What are the best ways to decorate a small balcony on a budget?By no means do you need to break the bank in order to design the balcony of your dreams. Take to secondhand stores and Facebook Marketplace in search of preloved yet high quality furnishings that speak to you, Yates suggests. You can also weave in some faux turf as well as plants that will last for many years on end, notes Courtnay Tartt Elias, the founder of Creative Tonic in Houston: “I love that faux turf gives you the illusion of an elevated yard in the sky!”What are some multipurpose furniture pieces to include on a small balcony?The less square footage your balcony has, the more important it is to select balcony furniture that can serve a variety of purposes. Many designers like to make use of daybeds when space allows. “Daybeds are great nap and reading spots and also allow guests to perch on both sides simultaneously for cocktail parties,” says Jeffry Weisman, the cofounder of Fisher Weisman in San Francisco.What are the best colors to decorate with on a balcony?While weighing various balcony decor ideas for your small outdoor space, look to your home’s interior design to determine what colors to bring out onto the balcony, instructs Keith Williams, the cofounder of Nievera Williams in Palm Beach—and don’t be afraid to go vibrant. “Color in fabrics is a great way to add color to outdoor spaces and not have to rely on plants,” he says.Go big with greeneryGreenery injects life and color into this balcony’s neutral palette.

Photo: Kirsten FrancisMolly Torres Portnof, the founder of Date Interiors in Brooklyn, took advantage of the rarity that is a New York City balcony by adding lattice fencing and vines “to create a little oasis for our client that feels open, yet cozy,” she explains. Specific plants used in this outdoor area include ivy, clematis, and climbing hydrangea. An array of potted plants also add a luscious touch to the urban escape—Torres Portnof is a proponent of perennials such as milkweed, mountain laurel, rhododendron, and windflowers. She says, “I love how these plants are hearty, beautiful, and work for a variety of outdoor spaces.”Design an outdoor living roomThe organic materials and earth tones of this living room flow from the indoors onto the balcony.

Photo: G CRAWFORDWhen designing the balcony for a penthouse apartment overlooking Beverly Hills, designer Jeff Andrews, the founder of Jeff Andrews Design in Los Angeles, seamlessly fused together indoor and outdoor living. He was intentional about selecting outdoor furniture that is “cohesive with the interiors—nothing that screams ‘outdoors’ in shape, proportion, or materiality.” Andrews urges others to be mindful and consider their balcony an extension of their interiors as opposed to an outdoor afterthought. “It’s important to treat your outdoor space with the same care and attention to your indoor spaces aesthetically,” he says.Use a settee to create a reading nookA settee is the quintessentially versatile balcony furniture pick: It makes for a comfortable lounge seat for one but also provides ample room for more, if you plan to host alfresco soirees.

Hayslett, who is the founder of LH.Designs in Los Angeles, suggests working with outdoor-friendly fabrics that are water-resistant and easy to clean. And these days, you don’t have to worry about sacrificing style in the process: “Outdoor fabrics have come a long way,” Hayslett says. “They have advanced to look and feel like indoor fabric, so stiff outdoor furniture fabric is a has-been.”Lay down a durable outdoor rugBe sure to seek out durable, UV-friendly rugs for your balcony.

Photo: Molly CulverMeredith Owen, the founder of Meredith Owen Interiors in Austin, cozied up this tiny balcony with the addition of an outdoor rug. “Using a rug on your balcony can help to soften the hard surfaces surrounding the space, it also adds texture and pattern to an area that usually lacks much interest,” she says, adding that the right piece has a unique power to elevate a balcony’s style. When shopping for balcony rug, be sure to purchase those made from synthetic, UV-friendly, durable materials like polypropylene or polyester—as Owen explains, this is the best way to prevent mold and mildew.Maximize your seating potentialConsider side tables that double as seating for smaller balcony spaces.

When selecting side tables for the balcony, consider going with classic garden stools instead of your typical small table. “They’re drag-able, durable, and decorative,” Drake notes. Plus, she says, they can double as extra seating. And if you opt for ceramic or metal material, you can easily forgo the coasters too.Skip the hammock in favor of a swingSwinging seating provides a touch of whimsy.

Photo: Tyler HoganWhy settle for an ordinary bench when you can opt for a swinging one? “The feeling of being suspended in the air with a gentle sway creates a wonderful zen moment,” says Tiffani Baumgart, the founder of Tiffani Baumgart Interiors in San Diego. If your balcony offers a bit more space, you can even consider a suspended daybed, which the designer notes is full of all kinds of possibilities: “Read a book, enjoy a cocktail, or go into full siesta mode!” Pro design tip: Place a throw on your swing or daybed to stay cozy on chillier evenings.Look to your home’s interior design for color inspoConsider nodding to your home’s interior color palette on your balcony.

Add height and visual interest to the balcony with a trellis, as Williams did here. “They provide the feeling of an outdoor room, while still allowing light and breezes to enter the space,” the designer says. He advises looking to the architectural style of your home to select a trellis but also encourages a bit of experimentation. “Adding a hint of whimsy can enhance a not-so-interesting area,” Williams says.Go vibrantBright colors and lively patterns can invigorate even the smallest of balcony spaces.

This balcony is located right off an entertaining area, so it was important to play to that room’s design aesthetic in order to naturally fuse the spaces together.Make use of oversized throw pillowsLarge throw pillows are a versatile, cost-effective alternative to more formal balcony seating.

Opt for fabric with a bit of texture to it, drawing from whatever furniture pieces you have present to create a cohesive looking outdoor space.Adorn your balcony railings with flower boxesOverflowing flowers are the statement feature of this French Quarter, New Orleans, balcony.

As a bonus, your neighbors will enjoy admiring this setup from across the way too.Put down some faux turfGreen turf gives this modest balcony an earthy feel.

Just purchase some faux turf, which Elias notes is excellent for a small apartment balcony. “You can easily cut it to fit the patio or around any stairs or railings, and the installation is seamless,” she explains. It’ll stay looking good for quite some time, too, she adds, as faux turf is fairly resistant to the elements.Warm up to a fire pitA fire pit that comes complete with its own top covering provides a great centerpiece for any balcony, no matter the season.

In this instance, she added a custom top to the fire pit, allowing it to also function as a coffee table in the summer months. “It’s easy to turn on and off, which ensures that it gets a lot of use,” she adds.Don’t forget the wall decorThis balcony embraces its seaside locale with a nautical wall hanging.

Here, an artful display of life vests adds a nautical touch to this outdoor space by Houston’s Lucas Eilers Design Associates, but if the maritime aesthetic doesn’t float your boat, worry not—you can truly go in any direction with your balcony wall decor.More Great Stories From AD It Yourself47 Kitchen Organization Ideas That Declutter Cabinets, Countertops, and MoreThe Cringiest DIY Trends According to TikTok’s Favorite Designers, Decorators, and DIY’ers13 Small Dining Room Ideas, According to DesignersHow to Cold Plunge: Find Your Inner Chill at HomeHow to Propagate Pothos Plants at Home: A Step-by-Step GuideHow to Clean an Oven in 10 Simple StepsNot a subscriber?

Types Of Balcony Structures (8 Design Options)

ByKristel Coleongco - Author

May 31, 2022February 15, 2024

February 15, 2024

If there’s one construction hack that could immediately add to the overall aesthetics of a home or building, for that matter; it would be the extra feature of having a balcony. Different types of balcony structures can increase your home’s outdoor space and real estate value as well while you’re at it. 

Balconies offer so much more than just the added aesthetic value. They can also be great as extended locations for gathering with friends and family and other entertainment functions such as relaxing, watching the view, or enjoying weekend barbecues.

Here are some of the things you need to consider about the different types of balconies available.

Cantilever BalconyStacked BalconyHung BalconyFalse BalconyMezzanine BalconyLoggia BalconyJuliet BalconyFaux BalconiesParts Of A BalconyBalcony WallsBalcony RailingFlooringBalustradesTypes Of Balcony MaterialsBalcony Railing Designs

Cantilever Balcony

A cantilever balcony is constructed to protrude right from the face of the building. This is oftentimes done without any additional support, only because there isn’t one needed. This is because a cantilever design is fixed to the mainframe of the building. It got its name because the weight of the balcony is “cantilevered” off of the wall. 

This type of balcony has a larger point load imposed on the building, and therefore it needs prior planning and permitting. Without careful professional evaluation, they cannot be added, as they require adequate internal support to maintain their integrity.

Most cantilever balconies are made from either steel or concrete. However, with modern design and construction innovations, other materials are also being explored.

One major thing that needs to be considered when building a cantilevered structure is its depth. A rule of thumb observed here is that the smaller the depth considered, the more limited the allowed movement will be.

Stacked Balcony

A stacked balcony is one of the most common types you will see around you and even all over the country. This structure is so ubiquitous because its mechanism and design can be impressively simple.

This design imposes a very minimal load on the building structure and is oftentimes not connected to the building itself. How they’re supported is with pillars, columns, or vertical posts. 

The concrete pads are oftentimes erected on the ground where the weight of the balconies is supported. Balconies. We used it in plural form as there’s usually more than just one balcony involved.

These balconies are oftentimes stacked right on top of each other. The sizes of these pillars may vary but they are oftentimes influenced by the number of balconies, along with the size and weight of these said balconies.

Hung Balcony

The hung balcony is a type of structure that is oftentimes a combination of cables and stainless steel. They usually “hang” off of the side of either a home or building structure; hence, the name.

It usually sits perpendicularly to the side of the building it’s attached to while steel cable fixes connected to the edges attach them to the main structure.

Large plates are also securely connected to the structure at a 45 degree angle. This is actually a minimalist design. It isn’t as commonly seen compared to the rest of the other balcony types out there, but it’s a great option if you’re renovating as an add-on that wasn’t part of the original building plan.

False Balcony

A false balcony can go with various monikers or nicknames, but it is more commonly loosely interchanged with a Juliet balcony type. In line with its name, false balconies aren’t actually real balconies where you can put out furniture, walk around in, or even entertain.

When you look at it from the outside of the building, it does have the look of a balcony, but it doesn’t really have that much space from the inside aside from probably a few pots of plants to display.  

In terms of design, a false balcony has a railing, a protrusion from the side of the building, and the appearance of an actual balcony. However, it doesn’t function quite the same from the inside of the house.

False balconies can usually be found in condos and apartment buildings where space and real estate are scarce.

Mezzanine Balcony

A mezzanine balcony is unique compared to the other types of balconies out there because of the main fact that it is built on the inside of the house instead of on the outside. What this provides is some extra space for you to sit on while still being completely aware of the view. 

You have the option to build either a small deck or a large one. It’s completely up to you, as it all depends on the kind of utility you have in mind for the mezzanine design.

As always, it is equipped with railings for added safety and security measures. See our gallery of beautiful wood deck design ideas here.

Loggia Balcony

A loggia balcony is also another type of unique structure that stands out from the rest because it’s the only one that comes with a canopy roof. It is built on a structure that protrudes. This makes a Loggia balcony clearly visible from the side of the home or of the building, but again, its main difference is that it is roofed.

One of the main advantages of Loggia balconies is that they are suitable for entertaining and for putting furniture out. The roof provides an extra layer of protection against the elements, such as extreme heat from the sun, rain, or snow.

A loggia balcony can make for very comfortable and relaxed seating. It’s something that you’re really bound to enjoy, especially if you happen to love having people over all the time in your home.

Juliet Balcony

Although a Juliet balcony is oftentimes loosely interchangeably used with a false balcony, they can be similar but not quite the same. A false balcony is somehow a separate structure altogether, supported by pillars, but juxtaposed directly to the side of the building to appear like a connected part of a whole. But this isn’t quite how a Juliet design is.

A Juliet balcony, on the other hand, is a smaller version of a loggia. It isn’t a protrusion from a higher floor, unlike most balconies. Instead, it’s part of the actual higher floor.

Its name was derived from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. If you can recall the literary masterpiece, Romeo used to court Juliet from her balcony.

Juliet balconies are also equipped with vertical rails and absolutely no horizontal ones. It has been said that this is meant to prevent little children from being able to readily climb on it.

Faux Balconies

Faux is just French for “fake”. So, technically speaking, faux balconies and fake balconies should be one and the same. In terms of appearance, a faux balcony can end up looking like the real deal.

It is also oftentimes made from materials that make up a real balcony. When it comes to the actual functions, a faux balcony can’t quite function the same way that real balconies can.

A faux balcony is considered an architectural cheat or a construction hack. It can give your home the appearance of having a balcony without any substantial or heavy costs. This can turn out to boost the real estate value of your property at the end of the day.

Faux balconies can be made out of some kind of treated steel or even aluminum. And although they can’t technically be used as a proper balconet, per se; they can still provide you with some extra level of attention via the guardrail.

As a faux balcony is oftentimes paired with a French window or door, it’s excellent for ensuring that you don’t accidentally fall out of an open one.

Parts Of A Balcony

Balcony Walls

These walls usually surround your balcony. They are oftentimes a great place for you to hang flowers and other plants as well as other forms of decorations that you may have in mind. Check out more decoration ideas in our gallery of flower box ideas.

Balcony Railing

This part of the balcony actually supports the top rail of a balcony. It has a barrier that’s fence-like when it comes to its appearance. They are oftentimes found attached to your home’s walls with the use of pillars, posts, or supporting columns.

Flooring

Flooring options for balconies can be pretty simple. They can either be made out of a plain concrete slab, decking tiles, natural stone, or literally anything that can be used as flooring material for the home.

Balustrades

The balustrades are the upright support on a balcony fence or wall. They can be short and ornamental. They can either be enclosed by walls, extend to the floor, be sloping in design, or have an airier and more open design.

Balustrades can also, at times, work as space dividers in the event that you have a balcony with a much bigger space and you want to section it off so you can use the space for efficiently.

Types Of Balcony Materials

Wood

Wood is a great material to make a structure out of. It has a natural texture that can make a balcony feel warm and cozy because of the natural textures that it can bring in.

When picking out a wood material for your balcony, one thing to pay attention to is the Janka hardness rating. The higher the Janka rating, the denser and less porous the wood actually is.

Denser woods will mean that you have a material that’s not only durable but also relatively weatherproof. You also need to remember that you need the wood to have enough structural integrity to support the extra weight brought in by your flooring for the balcony if you’re ever thinking of adding one on.

Make sure that you go for pressure-treated wood. Not only is this bound to stand up well against the elements, it is also bang for buck value for your money as it would mean that your wooden balcony will last you for about 15 years or so.

Steel

Steel is an exceptionally durable material and a balcony made out of one is bound to withstand harsh conditions from strong winds, heat, snow and rain, and a myriad of other challenges that nature can throw at it. It will not suffer from deterioration, nor will it undermine the integrity of your structure.

Steel also requires little to no maintenance. It definitely requires more attention compared to wood or glass. They’re not prone to rot and dust buildup and, with the proper priming, can be easily made rust-proof. It is the least expensive material to use for balcony construction and has a much longer life span.

Steel is more environmentally sustainable. Not only is it friendlier to birds (unlike glass), but it is also recyclable, minimizing waste.

This material is also creatively versatile. You aren’t fixed on any particular design or aesthetic. You can easily come up with a design and a finish that’s in line with your building’s design in order to come up with a balcony that truly stands out.

Aluminum

Using aluminum as a material for your balcony railings directly translates to low maintenance costs and guaranteed durability as well. This material isn’t prone to corrosion and rust.

It can hold up extremely well against the elements and will not warp, shrink, twist, or splinter when exposed to extreme weather conditions.

Maintenance is also nothing more than getting it hosed down every once in a while, and the occasional application of a powder coating for added protection.

Although slightly more expensive compared to other railing materials, aluminum is known to last you for a lifetime under the proper care.

It can be installed easily. Some aluminum railings even come pre-made in a kit that you can install yourself. If you feel confident that you have the basic handyman skills, there’s no need for you to hire a professional for this at all.

As mentioned above, it’s slightly more expensive compared to other materials but it’s still relatively cheaper compared to steel or wrought iron.

So although you are spending a little bit more upfront, when you consider other costs such as maintenance, replacements, installation and average life span; you’re still saving a lot of money if you go ahead and opt for aluminum railings for your balcony.

Concrete

Concrete balconies are thicker, so this means that you will need to need to meet the NHBC standards, which includes a 150mm splashback. However, it could come out looking extremely aesthetic.

It’s low maintenance and easy to clean and will usually require getting it hosed down every once in a while, or repainting it when the original paint starts to wear off.

Balcony Railing Designs

The secret to a great-looking balcony really is in the railings. If you want to convert an otherwise mundane-looking structure into something more visually pleasing, you can totally transform the look with well-chosen balcony railings. 

They also provide a definitive frame for your balcony while at the same time ensuring its security and safety. They have been an essential part of balcony construction for as long as we can remember, and with good reason. A balcony without railings is hardly one, after all.

Here are the different types of balcony railings for you to get acquainted with.

Steel

Steel is one of the most commonly used materials for balcony railings. They are durable and are expected to last for quite a long while.

They are also customizable and can be used cohesively with other materials that you may have in mind such as glass, concrete, or wood. With the proper priming and care, steel can be made rust and corrosion-proof as well.

Wood

Wood is another commonly used material for balcony railings. With wood, you can come up with a wide plethora of designs and aesthetics, and you can even easily mix and match with various types of woods as well as materials for your railings. Wood is also one of the most affordable materials to be used for balcony railing.

It does, however, come with a major downside. Wood looks great and all that but it is prone to rot and other issues when exposed to the elements, as balconies are oftentimes installed outside of the house and don’t enjoy the same protection as interior attachments.

It needs to be sealed once or twice a year and needs to be religiously maintained in order for its appearance to retain its original look.

Some hardwoods are also known to be scare and expensive and exotic woods and the like are oftentimes imported from other countries. See more stunning deck railing ideas here.

Glass

When it comes to sweeping views and a look of brightness and airiness, glass comes unmatched as a choice for balcony railings. Not only do they offer the best views as they don’t close your balcony in, but they can also be perfect when paired with a home that has a modern or contemporary design. 

It is best to opt for tempered glass when shopping around for railings. This ensures safety if the glass breaks in the event of an earthquake, strong winds, or other nature-related challenges.

Glass is slightly more expensive compared to the rest of the other materials listed here, but when you take into account the views that it can provide for your balcony, some people would deem it to be well worth the added price.

Aluminum

Aluminum railings are incredibly strong. This is made so much more impressive by the fact that it also happens to be incredibly lightweight. It is definitely considered a great fit for your outdoor balcony railing needs at the end of the day.

Another thing that makes aluminum stand out is the fact that it’s naturally rust and corrosion-resistant. They are known to outlast even the harshest weather conditions and can stand up well against any other outdoor-related elements that might be thrown at it. 

Aluminum is also a material that’s made more popular by the fact that it requires very minimal upkeep. Aluminum is a stylish material that naturally enhances the look of balconies. 

It is easily customizable and, in some cases, can even come in pre-made kits that you can opt to go ahead and install yourself; saving you even more money when it comes to the installation costs. This, of course, should come with a disclaimer that you need to have some level of construction skills to get this done right.

Aluminum railings for your balcony can also come in different finishes, from polished, to soft mattes, hard mattes, or even satin. So whatever look or vibe you have in mind, there’s bound to be an aluminum finish that can easily match that.

Cast Iron

Cast iron is a material that can make your balcony railings look extra elegant and stylish. In terms of strength and durability, this material is superb and comes highly recommended. If maintained well, cast iron has been known to stand the test of time and can even last for a lifetime. 

The downside to this is that cast iron is still a type of metal. What this means is that it can be prone to rust and corrosion. It’s not exempt from it at all but with the proper maintenance such as getting it primed, powder brushed, or having the annual checkup and maintenance, it can be quite easy to maintain its original look and condition at the end of the day.

Cast iron is also known to be the most expensive railing material you can opt for in your balcony. However, it can be well worth the price especially if what you’re after is an understated look of sophistication and elegance in the home.

Outdoor Ideas 25 Balcony Decor Ideas to Make the Most of Your Space SHARE SavePhoto Credit: @bluestarcarpentryPlain balconies are a missed opportunity to enhance the beauty of your home – and make greater usage of indoor/outdoor space.. Fortunately, there are quite a few good balcony ideas you can tap into to take it from ordinary to extraordinary.Balconies come in all shapes and sizes, so whether you're in the planning stages of building a balcony deck or you're looking for some apartment balcony ideas to enjoy a bit of the outdoors in a city setting, it all starts with exploring your options.1. Make Your Balcony Pet-FriendlySaveAs an outdoor enclosure, balconies can be amazing for pets. Adapting your balcony to make it perfectly pet-friendly is often as simple as adding a small fence or some wire mesh screening. As an added bonus, you can use your screening to support additional décor.2. Natural Art with MirrorsSaveIn the right spot, even ordinary mirrors can produce outstanding visual effects. For instance, they're great at making smaller spaces feel larger. You can also use mirrors on your balcony to augment or enhance a great view. On a smaller scale, you only need a handful of small mirrors to create your own decorative mosaic. 3. Add Wall ArtAn easy way to make outdoor spaces feel more like indoor spaces is to decorate them as you would a living room or bedroom. Adding wall art on the area behind your balcony is a great opportunity to put that design practice into play. Plus, it gives you the chance to drastically alter your balcony's general aesthetic feel, even on a relatively small budget.4. Balcony Privacy IdeasSavePrivacy walls can do more than keep out prying eyes, they can also help make a space feel cozier. Though you can find a variety of other wood accents, bamboo screens on your balcony can add an element of style at an affordable price. Moreover, its lightweight qualities make it easy to place and move as needed.5. Alternative Balcony Privacy OptionsSaveYou don't always need screens or walls to help delineate a space. From flags and tapestries to strategically managing seating arrangements, there are more than a few ways to adjust levels of privacy and section off areas of a longer, larger balcony.6. Balcony Flooring IdeasSaveMany patios are made from unattractive or unremarkable flooring – often, grey concrete. But a change in your flooring doesn't have to be an enormous undertaking. If you're renting, the solution to beautifying your balcony might be as simple as adding a few outdoor rugs. Staining concrete is another fairly simple DIY project. Alternatively, you could explore adding composite decking, like Trex, to refresh your balcony space. 7. Consider Going with TileSaveRugs can be a quick and effective fix, but few things will make an outdoor space feel more like an indoor space than the addition of quality tile. With a little creativity, you can even generate your own personalized geometric patterns. Just remember to stick with outdoor tile that can withstand the elements on your balcony.8. Balcony Garden IdeasSaveWho doesn’t love some greenery to make you feel like you’re immersed in the outdoors on your balcony. Many people find gardening rewarding, and balconies bedecked with trailing vines and hanging plants can amp up the wow factor. You can grow your own herbs and berries, surround yourself with summer blooms, or create an evergreen terrace that stays lush year-round. Selected appropriately, many plants require minimal maintenance and attention, giving you a no-fuss balcony garden that adds curb appeal.9. Turn Your Balcony Into an Extension of Your Living RoomEveryone loves a cozy living room, and recreating that kind of space on a balcony doesn't take too much effort. In many cases, all you'll need are a few armchairs and a well-placed coffee table. If you're feeling ambitious, you can add some throw pillows or blankets - just be sure to use outdoor fabrics.10. Mimic InteriorsYou can make your outdoor space an extension of your indoor space by matching the aesthetic of the interior of any adjoining room. If everything is beige and brown on the inside, you can create a sense of continuity by keeping that going around the areas where your home spills out onto your balcony. It both works well visually and is a great way of welcoming people into your home.11. Small Balcony IdeasWorking with a smaller space? Vertical storage can make it feel much larger. For instance, consider taking advantage of nesting tables or hanging baskets. If you're hanging or stacking plants, you can build your own vertical garden and fill your balcony area with twice as many.12. Add a Balcony TableSaveDon't have space for a table? You can turn the railing into a table with a balcony bar. This works great in particularly small outdoor spaces, allowing you to support food, drinks, laptops, or further decoration.13. Zoning Separate AreasWhen working with a larger balcony, you may have enough space to divide it into several distinct areas. For instance, you might set up one side of your balcony specifically for enjoying coffee and taking in a view, another area specifically for drinks and dining, and another area for cooking. You'll just need to plan the flow of foot traffic and take steps to keep each area feeling distinct.14. Balcony Furniture IdeasSaveWood furniture fits in well outdoors and many types are rot resistant – but it's far from your only option. Synthetic wicker is fairly inexpensive and it holds up extremely well against the elements, furniture covers can make your indoor furniture protected from the outdoors, and foldable furniture is ideal for saving space. Additionally, you can also look to composite materials for balcony furniture inspiration. Check out Trex outdoor furniture to explore all of your options. 15. Change Up Your SeatingFew things will help an old area to feel new quite like a new seating arrangement. Sometimes, a little rearrangement can also change the functionality of a space, transitioning from an area for enjoying your morning coffee to space for having lunch with friends.16. Balcony Lighting IdeasSaveString lights can be a great way to adorn your balcony with artfully draped strands that add illumination, as well as style. It's generally inexpensive and easy to set up your own string lights, and lighting can be highly adaptable to varying circumstances. For instance, you can choose colored lights that can be adapted to change for the season, moving from colorful hues for the winter holidays to cool white or champagne-colored lights for summer nights.17. Even More Balcony Lighting IdeasSaveWhile string lights provide a pleasant ambiance, they don't deliver the functionality of brighter, direct lighting. In the right areas, good lighting can have a transformative effect, making your balcony a more accessible place day and night. If updating railings, it could also be a good time to add lighting to it to add ambiance.18. Add a SofaDeck chairs and other outdoor furniture certainly have their place. But when you want to create an ultra-cozy environment on your balcony, incorporating a sofa or loveseat is ideal. You'll need to make sure you're using a couch made specifically for the outdoors, otherwise you'll want to take steps to thoroughly weatherproof it.19. Recycle & ReuseFilling a space with comfortable seating for your perfect balcony retreat isn't always easy, but the key to doing so is finding options that suit your given area. If you've got limited space to work with, you can create some easy-to-store seating options by stacking a few wooden crates on their ends and topping them off with outdoor pillows. Combined with a table for your balcony railing, you've got an impromptu balcony bar on a budget with a great view. 20. Balcony Railing IdeasSaveAs one of the defining elements of a balcony, the railing is both visually and structurally important. In fact, matching your balcony with the most appropriate railing can make the difference between a good-looking balcony and a great-looking balcony. Making changes doesn't have to be challenging, either. There are quite a number of prefabricated railing kits that can make it easy to have a beautiful balcony without having to build one from scratch. 21. Make a Spot to ReclineSitting is great - but sometimes taking an outdoor nap is better. You'll need to reserve a little space, but whether you want a lounge chair, hammock, or pull-out futon. However, the (well-rested) results can speak for themselves if you choose this type of addition to your balcony decor!22. Add ShadeAdding shades to your balcony can help you to regulate just how much or how little sun you get. For instance, you can go for a more natural route and add vertical shelving stacked full of plant life to achieve partial shade. Or you can also stretch a shade sail, build an awning, or even add a cantilever umbrella for more coverage from the sun and elements. 23. Make it Minimal!SaveMinimalist decor can be a great way to keep it simple and allow the beauty of your balcony to speak for itself. Consider a small cafe-style table and chairs with comfy cushions, and a large potted plant to give yourself a cozy place to enjoy the view. 24. Balcony Design IdeasA mish-mash of colors can work fine, but sticking to a well-conceived color story can bring a sense of cohesion to your balcony. Try using colors that match or compliment the surrounding area. For instance, black, brown, and orange can form a fantastic base that can make your décor pop when placed together. 25. Finishing TouchesYou don't always need to take radical steps to totally reinvent your balcony. The simple addition of a few well-chosen throw pillows and an outdoor area rug can add the perfect touch that makes your balcony feel homey. Just look for an empty space and let your imagination do the rest.Get More Inspiration for Your Balcony or Outdoor SpaceHow to Build a Balcony Top 18 Deck Railing Ideas & Designs Small Outdoor Deck Ideas & Designs Looking for a professional to build your deck?
