I have returned to your website and my original message is no longer here. Sorry, I guess I failed to press "Submit"- the green means go, I guess. My response does not relate to your request, alas, as I am a site planner and see your problem in the visual and environmental context. It is not obvious in the photos how far down the balcony floor is. Does the opening shown begin at typical height of a balcony, say 3-4 feet, or 1 meter? My initial response was to suggest repeating the strong modern architectural lines with a planter or, better yet, a series of planters of the same size and shape across the entire opening, filled with plants of your liking to bring color and fragrance into your space, in place of the great colors of your neighbor's laundry. If you just want to maintain the simplicity, bamboo all across will give you a light evergreen screen that will accept your rainfall, bring rustling music in the wind, and grow perhaps a foot a day (up to its normal height) soon after planting. Decorative glazed pots arranged in rows or clusters down on the terrace floor will bring delight when viewed from within your home, but will occupy your limited space. Natasha Korn at www.triqita,com is the designer and manufacturer of wonderful fabric designs in silk - many bold patterns with bright colors, in sizes from neck scarves to large wall hangings. A thought would be to frame them on glass so the light comes through from behind and hang them on the wireworks outside. Or perhaps a large wall hanging mounted on a large footed frame or a folding 5-6' (2 meter) tall screen that could be placed inside as a room divider, but then when you need to better control your view, place it on your prison wall outside to bring some warmth and glamour to your view.

plz send pic to relate better n glass or transparent acrylic sheets would do the job, giving justice to grass as well. glass n heavy stuff as roof on lawn is subjective to location space n relevance as it needs proper support n frame work. might come with alternative once actual site is known. plz send pictures. thanks shradha shah beescheese design

You can cover the balcony with grills and put a pigeon mesh which is easily available in the market. paint the balcony to your taste and put some hanging pots and cane swing or do some low sitting arrangement with mattresses and cushions.

Hi Pritha, As according to the above scenario you can go with some wall paints which can camouflage the holes and since the hole is big so you can use cardboard to cover the hole and paint that cardboard with the same color paint, bringing a consistency to the walls as well as it can help in contrasting the decor of the entire room too. Moreover you can also go with wall paper too as this will make sure that the walls get covered entirely and thus you can able to cover that hole too to its maximum extent. Of course in this case the Pipe is large but still a small opening wont be much visible if you use dark paint or wallpaper over the wall. A small opening downwards which allows the pipe to go through is unremarkable in this case Through this you wont have to worry much about the false ceiling i suppose. I hope this might help Thanks Team Liveup
