Balcony Design Tips

Balconies are often forgotten or neglected when in fact they can be one of the most important features of your home be it for entertaining or simply relaxing. Consider these important points before embarking on a balcony or terrace design project.
Recommendations

Check with a qualified professional as to the structural loading capacity of your terrace. Not all buildings can support the same weight loads and many buildings may not be able to withstand the weight of the materials you are thinking of using. Consider lightweight alternatives to traditional materials such as aluminium structures, Hebel brick or foam panel, tensioned steel Balustrading, polycarbonate roofing etc.
All Year Round Design

Think about how the space will be used in all 4 seasons. Even if you don't actively go out onto your balcony or terrace in the winter months, it can and should be attractive to look at from indoors and outdoors. Keep the division between the inside and out to a minimum to create the feeling of space from both sides and to bring the outside in.
Design for YOU!

Consider what time of day you will be spending most of your time on your balcony or terrace. Do you work during the day? If so, plan your design for night time enjoyment. Plan on lighting being an integral part of the design and possibly heating. Make the area comfortable. Quality outdoor furniture can make a big difference to the amount of time you spend outside, I mean, who's going to spends a few hours enjoying the view if they have to stand up or sit on a rock hard, bum numbing chair.
Make to Measure

Plan very carefully because in a small space every inch counts. Make sure the scale of the various built elements and furnishings is appropriate to the size of your overall space. Use "layering" (foreground, middle ground, background) to create the illusion of greater size and depth within your balcony or terrace.
Plant Selection

Choose plant species that are appropriate to your micro-climate. This is as important or even more important than when you are planning ground-level planting beds. Your particular exposure (direction you face) and patterns of wind will create a very specific micro-climate. Plan on using plants that are at least one full zone hardier than you would if you were down at ground level. Try stylish, drought hardy succulents or integrate annuals into your planting design knowing that they will be replaced each season.
Irrigation

Make sure you have thought about water supply. If you have an overhang above your balcony or terrace your plants will not receive any natural rainfall. Consider installing a drip irrigation system on a timer so your plants won't dry out every time you go away for a day or two. Drainage must be your first thought regarding irrigation as an excess of water can cause serious damage to both yours and your neighbours building.
Inside Out

When designing your balcony or terrace and when choosing materials and finishes remember to link your indoor rooms with your outdoor room(s) and carry the indoors out. This is particularly critical in a small space where continuity and flow are very important.
Storage

Don't forget to include some storage in the overall design. You'll need a place for gardening tools, potting soil and a host of other odds and ends. Design the space so your gardening will be as pleasurable as possible. Under seat or bench areas can be utilised for valuable storage space. Or a shallow wall cupboard can hold cushions, candles, gardening gloves and clippers.

Minimalist design



Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe adopted the motto "Less is more" to describe his aesthetic tactic of arranging the numerous necessary components of a building to create an impression of extreme simplicity, by enlisting every element and detail to serve multiple visual and functional purposes (such as designing a floor to also serve as the radiator, or a massive fireplace to also house the bathroom). Designer Buckminster Fuller adopted the engineer's goal of "Doing more with less", but his concerns were oriented towards technology and engineering rather than aesthetics. A similar sentiment was industrial designer Dieter Rams' motto, "Less but better" adapted from van der Rohe. The structure uses relatively simple elegant designs; ornamentations are quality rather than quantity[dubious – discuss]. The structure's beauty is also determined by playing with lighting, using the basic geometric shapes as outlines, using only a single shape or a small number of like shapes for components for design unity, using tasteful non-fussy bright color combinations, usually natural textures and colors, and clean and fine finishes. Using sometimes the beauty of natural patterns on stone cladding and real wood encapsulated within ordered simplified structures, and real metal producing a simplified but prestigious architecture and interior design. May use color brightness balance and contrast between surface colors to improve visual aesthetics. The structure would usually have industrial and space age style utilities (lamps, stoves, stairs, technology, etcetera), neat and straight components (like walls or stairs) that appear to be machined with machines, flat or nearly flat roofs, pleasing negative spaces, and large windows to let in lots of sunlight. This and science fiction may have contributed to the late twentieth century futuristic architecture design, and modern home decor. Modern minimalist home architecture with its unnecessary internal walls removed may have led to the popularity of the open plan kitchen and living room style.

Another modernmaster who exemplifies reductivist ideas is Luis Barragán. In minimalism, the architecturaldesigners pay special attention to the connection between perfect planes, elegant lighting, and careful consideration of the void spaces left by the removal of three-dimensional shapes from an architectural design. The more attractive looking minimalist home designs are not truly minimalist, because these use more expensive building materials and finishes, and are relatively larger.

Contemporary architects working in this tradition include John Pawson, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Álvaro Siza Vieira, Tadao Ando, Alberto Campo Baeza, Yoshio Taniguchi, Peter Zumthor, Hugh Newell Jacobsen, Vincent Van Duysen, Claudio Silvestrin, Michael Gabellini, andRichard Gluckman.[2]

The term minimalism is also used to describe a trend in design and architecture where in the subject is reduced to its necessary elements. Minimalist design has been highly influenced by Japanese traditional design and architecture. In addition, the work of De Stijl artists is a major source of reference for this kind of work. De Stijl expanded the ideas that could be expressed by using basic elements such as lines and planes organized in very particular manners.source

12 Ideas For Small Bathroom Design


Every person that has a small bathroom is interested in ways of making their bathroom appear larger.  Remodeling the bathroom is not always an option and in many cases, remodeling the bathroom would be very expensive.  There are a number of ways that a person can use to make their small bathroom seem larger without having to undertake any heavy construction.
Pedastal Sinks and Wrapped Lighting
Pedal Sink, Mirror, and Lighting to Enhance Small Bathroom


1. Soft Color for Walls

One of the easiest ways that a person can alter their small bathroom design to make it appear larger is to choose light soft colors for the décor of the bathroom.  


2. Accent with Color

Bright, bold colors can be used in small bathrooms, assuming you reserve them for accents only. Going overboard with bold or dark colorstend to make the bathroom appear tighter and more intimate.  


3. Visual Accents

If your bathroom has wallpaper, avoid using large prints or busy pattern. Instead, choose very subtle wallpaper patterns. Better yet, keep one wall free from any pattern at all. Consider making the largest wall in the small bathroom into a mural of an open space.  


4. Light Tones of Bathroom Flooring

Just like light colors on the walls, light colors on the flooring of the small bathroom will help make the bathroom appear roomier and more open.  The most popular colors for a light bathroom floor are tans, light grays, and light blues.  By incorporating these colors into the flooring of your small bathroom design, you will have the basis for a light colored decorating scheme that will make your bathroom appear more open.


5. Pedestal Sink

Another small bathroom design that can be used to make a bathroom appear larger is to replace a large vanity or countertop with a slimmer, pedestal sink.  A pedestal sink can be found in many different styles, colors, and materials, allowing them to be matched to any décor.  By placing a pedestal sink in the small bathroom, you can open up the bathroom space by another ten percent.


6. Classic Fixtures

When selecting fixtures for your bathroom, keep in mind they are going into a small space. Choose simple designs made from smooth surfaces, such as ceramic and marble, and opt for light, neutral tones.

Additional Lighting Opens a Small Space


7. Additional Lighting Fixtures

Additional lighting in a small bathroom can make a world of difference in the way the space in the bathroom is perceived.  Consider adding additional light fixtures or using higher wattage bulbs, as appropriate. By making the bathroom brighter and more inviting, it seems that the space has opened up and the walls are farther apart.  


8. Increase Natural Light

There are a variety of ways that additional lighting can be added to the small bathroom without taking up more space than is already used, including installing a new window, or even putting in a skylight.


9. Limit Items in Bathroom

Many people choose to open up the amount of space available in their small bathroom by greatly reducing the amount of items that they place into the bathroom.  Items such as storage shelves, hampers, and decorative items all take up valuable space in a small bathroom and the bathroom will appear much larger if these items are removed and the things that they hold are stored somewhere else.  
Clutter Free Vanity
Keep Clutter at Bay


10. Consider Storage Outside the Bathroom

Some people choose to place a small storage cabinet in their hallway near the bathroom as a place to put all of the things that they would normally keep in their bathrooms. It's also a good idea to consider putting laundry hampers in the bedrooms instead of in the bathroom. Extra supplies and paper products can even be stored in the pantry.


11. Adding Mirrors

Adding additional mirrors to the bathroom will also help the bathroom appear bigger than it really is.  Placing additional mirrors in the bathroom will help to capture all of the available light and reflect it back into the room to make it brighter.  Adding extra mirrors to the room will also add depth to the room, as the mirrors reflect each other and make the walls appear farther away.  


12. De-Clutter

Other ways you can use to make a small bathroom design appear larger include removing clutter and extra items. Instead of storing all of your beauty items on the counter, place them in a cabinet or in the medicine chest when not in use. The more items are visible in a small bathroom, the more cramped the space will look and feel.


Using these subtle design changes to modify the look of your small bathroom is easy, inexpensive, and most of these design changes can be completed in a few hours.  By changing your small bathroom design, you can make your small bathroom appear larger within the space of a day.

Cool Bathroom Shelf and Towel Hanger, Milan 2010


As we already stated, Milan Furniture Fair was full of ideas that we so eagerly captured. Here is a really cool alternative for a bathroom mirror. Occupying  the same amount of space, but with a lot more functionality, this bathroom shelf can also become a towel or clothes hanger when needed. So simple and yet with a daring practicability, the hanger also features a mirror and a storage place for perfumes and other small accessories. Its white finish makes it perfect for any modern bathroom, big or small. Still, we think a smaller version would have even more success. What do you think of this design? Do you find it to be practical or a bit exaggerated ?
