Seeking suggestion about a covered balcony area in bedroom.
7 years ago
This are used to be a balcony for my bedroom, but was covered by my parents with an iron mesh of windows where you can see the navy curtains in the back. Growing up, I find it as the ugliest spot in my room which I can not completely wall-ify due to the DDA rules and it's horrible shape doesn't allow me to think of even one idea how I can both, use & beautify it. The even worse part is that both the side walls of the entrance and the portion on top, are beams, which again I can not interfere with. Can anyone suggest me how I can work this space out to compliment my room instead of me keeping it curtained and hidden?
Change it back to balcony
Insert a wardrobe in the space to cover the mouth of the area
Decorate with a Sofa bed and some lights
Other. Please suggest.

Comments (8)Privacy could be obtained with a screen, placement of potted plants, an open bookcase, but I like your idea for a curved track with a curtain as one option for visual privacy. I would rotate the dining table 90 degrees and move it towards the balcony. I would remove those two chairs/tables because the layout of a single chair that far apart from another chair does not work. You may need to move the seating away from the main entrance because it looks like you walk in and you're on top of a loveseat. In such a tight space with so many doors that open in to the main living/dining - my advice is to keep it simple. Scale the furniture properly and have pieces that are multi-functional. Example- an ottoman that can serve as seating. A bench at the dining table to seat 3 on each side. I would also place two smaller loveseats facing each other in front of the fireplace. This will give you an "entry area" (along the back side of the kitchen wall) and help to define the living from dining rooms. Even if you don't have a formal entry, try to create a bit of space to welcome people....See MoreChilds Bedroom
Comments (2)I am not an expert but I am thinking that regular wooden cabinet doors (in the color that suits the room) will install just fine over that. I don't recommend any shelves inside if you are storing toys. I have a 4 year old and her toys are ALL odd shapes and sizes. The bigger open cabinets are what works for me when it comes to keeping the toys out of sight....See MoreDressing mirror placement and design in master bedroom

Comments (3)Hi Wing Feather Impressions, Thanks for the suggestion. I think I should clarify, it's not all about just heat and wet in summer and rainy season. Issue 1: During rainy day with more wind towards balcony the balcony floor is getting drenched with rain water and that rain water runs through the stairs that is connected to the right side of the balcony. Issue 2: During summer days from the afternoon till evening (say 1 pm to 6 pm) the sun shines towards balcony as it is west facing, more sunlight enters through the balcony making it hot and not usable during that time. Need to have some sun shade. I am looking for one solution to address both the issues. Below are few solutions I thought of, a. the balcony blinds to prevent rain water and sunlight though it is not a long term solution. b. PVC roofing sheet (2 to 3 ft width) just below the balcony top wall but not sure if that will look good....See More- PRO7 years ago
