A balcony is an area placed on the exterior of a house, apartment or flat to increase the amount of space available and add value to the property.
While in many cases, balconies are small and for decorative purposes only, space permitting, they can also provide a homeowner with additional living or leisure space.
For city living, this can have the added advantage of making the most of all available space, while in more suburban areas, they can provide a nice place to unwind. Depending on the size of your balcony, they can make a nice outdoor space for you to relax and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air in.
Pot plants can add a splash of colour without taking up much space and there may even been for your favourite comfy chair or table, so you can enjoy a nice cup of tea or a bite to eat, al fresco style.
They are also a great way of letting more natural light and fresh air into your home.
