Flooring tips for balconies in contemporary homes

16 Mar 2023 CW Team

Balconies are an essential part of a home. They can provide a private outdoor space for residents to enjoy fresh air and outdoor views without having to leave their home. Balconies are ideally used for gardening, relaxing, reading, and entertaining. Especially in luxury properties where design detail takes into account macro and micro aspects of design a seamless continuity is desired to ensure the balcony looks like an integral part of the overall design scheme. Among other aspects which govern this design integrity is the flooring utilised in the living room and the balcony

In modern day contemporary homes balconies are thoughtfully designed to enable an indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The transition from luxurious interiors to the charming outdoors is seamless as the flooring creates an organic connection with nature, while also providing a tactile feel.

Natural stone flooring in an earthy hue, combined with the bed of pebbles, evokes the rawness and fresh energy of the outdoors.

The veneer paneled flooring corresponds with the wood paneled roof and louvred window, as well as the green cover around to make you feel you are in the midst of nature.

Right in the heart of the city, yet disconnected from its chaos, this terrace space offers a true oasis of beauty, peace and comfort. Patterned wooden flooring and faux green carpet ensure a sense of connection with the outside world.
