The sunny end of this balcony was the perfect position for the edibles. The espaliered Citrus will continue to soften and disguise the wall whilst offering flowers and fruit to harvest. Herbs were planted to spill out over the cylinder pots and be handy to pick when needed.

Small courtyards and outdoor spaces can be just as homely as large gardens and should be seen as an extension of the interior. By picking out the planting with a couple of spiked garden lights and highlighting the brick wall texture with wall downlights, you can draw focus to the elements you want to see.

Located just steps from Bondi beach this amazing penthouse had the outdoor space and the view ideal for entertaining or just sitting back and relaxing. KCreative Interiors were employed to give this balcony a tropical balcony setting make-over and assist with the art selection for the entry stairwell. We whitewashed the balcony and painted existing planter box and balustrades dark to add depth and contrast. Setting the perfect backdrop for this lush tropical garden. We created different seating areas to sit back and enjoy different aspects of this space. An oversized Vikki Lee art piece was commissioned to fill the void in the stairwell.

Balcony Ideas and Designs

How do I make the most of my balcony?


A balcony can be the smallest of the terraces and outdoor spaces, but, unless you have a juliet balcony, you’ll still be able to make the most of it with a few design touches, here and there.

If you like to throw open your balcony doors and let the light and air flow in, you could think about extending your room out onto the balcony with balcony furniture that matches the interiors or colours of your room. Smart furniture, neat balcony planters and coffee tables will make you feel like you’ve brought the indoors outdoors.

If you have a glass balcony or a balcony with rails that looks out over a street or nearby neighbours, then you may want to shield your balcony terrace from prying eyes. It’s a shame to block out the edges of a balcony completely, so consider potted plants or high balcony planters to act as a shield. The leaves and flowers of your plants will obscure the view onto your balcony but still let in light and air.

For small balconies, look for slim furniture, such as slim console tables, benches and shelves so you can still display ornaments, plants and knick knacks but without cluttering the space too much.

Whether you want inspiration for planning a balcony renovation or are building a designer balcony from scratch, Houzz has 15,368 images from the best designers, decorators, and architects in the country, including Anthro Architecture and LivingLot. Look through balcony photos in different colours and styles and when you find a balcony design that inspires you, save it to an Ideabook or contact the Pro who made it happen to see what kind of design ideas they have for your home. Explore the beautiful balcony ideas photo gallery and find out exactly why Houzz is the best experience for home renovation and design.
