Many of us have seen breath-taking designs and structures of balconies in movies as well as at other people’s homes. Well, we have all envied and dreamt of creating one for ourselves too.

Just like any other area of a home, a balcony too holds a prominent place. It is that exterior space of a home which is often overlooked by most people. In a practical subject like interior design, a lot of attention is paid to designing exterior structures such as roofs, porch, sit-outs and balconies.

The ‘Lounge’ Look   

 

The lounge look is one of the easiest to create. All you need is comfortable lounge chairs and a coffee table. If the space can accommodate a bar table and stools, you’ve nailed the look. You can fix string lights to brighten the area.

Learning about different light fixtures in an interior design course is an important topic of the course curriculum.

So, whatever theme you apply to your balcony, the rule of thumb is t
