When designing a balcony, we at TATHAASTU consider to ensure functionality, aesthetics, and safety.

• 1. Safety regulations to follow : Keep upto date with local building codes and regulations concerning balconies. These guidelines often include requirements for railing height, spacing, and structural integrity.


• 2. Size and layout of the space : Determine the available space and layout of your balcony. Consider its purpose, whether it's for seating, gardening, or recreation, and plan accordingly.


• 3. Railing design : Select a railing style that complements the overall design of your home. Common options include glass, metal, wood, or a combination of materials. Ensure that the railing meets safety regulations.


• 4. Flooring material : Choose a durable and weather-resistant flooring material suitable for outdoor use. Options include wood decking, composite materials, concrete, or tiles. Consider factors like maintenance, slip resistance, and aesthetic appeal.


• 5. Privacy and shading : Depending on your preferences, consider adding privacy screens, trellises, or pergolas to enhance privacy and provide shade from the sun.


• 6. Lighting fixtures : Incorporate adequate lighting to create a welcoming ambiance and ensure safety during evening hours. Consider wall-mounted sconces, string lights, or recessed lighting.


• 7. Furniture and accessories : Select outdoor furniture that suits the balcony's size and purpose. Opt for weather-resistant materials and comfortable seating options. Consider adding planters, cushions, or decorative elements to enhance the visual appeal.

Types of balconies

• 1. Juliet balcony : A small, decorative balcony that does not protrude from the building, often featuring a railing or balustrade.


• 2. French balcony : A false balcony with floor-to-ceiling doors or windows that open inward, providing a view and allowing fresh air without a platform.


• 3. Wraparound balcony : Extends around the corner of a building, offering panoramic views and additional outdoor space.


• 4. Terrace balcony : Larger balconies typically found on higher floors or rooftops, often designed for socializing or outdoor dining.

Colors that can be considered

• 1. Neutral tones : Timeless options like white, beige, gray, or brown create a classic and versatile look.


• 2. Bold colors : Vibrant hues like red, blue, or green can add a lively and eye-catching element to the balcony design.


• 3. Earthy tones : Shades of green, brown, or terracotta can evoke a natural and serene atmosphere.


• 4. Contrasting colors : Consider using contrasting colors to highlight architectural features or create visual interest. For example, pairing a light-colored railing with a dark-colored floor or vice versa.
