Top ways to maximise the flow between your bedroom and balcony
Having indoor/outdoor flow means that one doesn’t notice the transition from bedroom to balcony because one is so ensconced in the world of tranquillity that has been created. There are various ways to connect indoor and outdoor spaces — let’s take a look at some of the most successful ones.
Choose complementary design elements
Ensure that the design and decor of both spaces complement each other. This could involve using similar colour schemes, materials or styles to create a cohesive flow. If your bedroom is mainly beige and off-white shades, then consider a natural pale terracotta hue for your balcony to keep the mood in harmony.
Use sliding doors and large windows
Installing sliding doors or large windows that open fully between the bedroom and the balcony can create a seamless transition between the two spaces. This will also allow for easy access and enhance the feeling of openness.
Use similar flooring materials
Maintain a uniform look between the bedroom and the balcony by using either the same tiles, or tiles of a similar look and feel. This can visually connect the spaces and make them feel like one cohesive area.
Incorporate indoor-outdoor furniture
Choose furniture that can be used both indoors and outdoors, such as lightweight chairs and versatile tables. This allows you to easily move furniture between the bedroom and balcony as needed, facilitating easy flow between the spaces. Make the balcony feel like an extension of the bedroom by bringing indoor comforts outdoors. Incorporate rugs and cushions into your balcony decor, and ensure that the space is well lit.
Add greenery
Incorporate plants and greenery on the balcony and in the bedroom. This can help to visually connect the spaces and foster a sense of continuity. Consider using potted plants, hanging planters or even a vertical garden to bring the outside in and vice versa. Creating a garden oasis on your balcony brings peace and calmness to your space.
Choose your window coverings carefully
Of course, you will still need some form of barrier between the bedroom and balcony. Plantation shutters can be a great option, as they are a great way to control the flow of light into your bedroom.
Have an outdoor seating area
Your bedroom is a place of relaxation and this should continue on your balcony. Place comfortable furniture, like lounge chairs or even a small dining table, to encourage you to continue to relax outdoors. Add some cushions and throws for extra comfort.
Your home should inspire you
You deserve to have a balcony that’s a natural extension of your bedroom. It is a space where lazy weekend mornings will be enjoyed and where precious memories will be made.
