With a deck floor and railings, it\u2019s the perfect outdoor space. It\u2019s big enough to be walked on and it\u2019ll be able to hold furniture. If you\u2019re dreaming of warm summer evenings sat outside with a glass of wine, then this is the balcony for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faux balconies:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Faux balconies are not actually real balconies at all. Instead, they are just made to look like they are. They\u2019ll have a rail but no actual floor, meaning that it\u2019s impossible to stand on it. This type of balcony is ideal for if you want to make your house look a bit more interesting on the exterior, but you\u2019re not bothered about actually having the outdoor space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">False balconies:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of balcony has a rail and only a small bit of decking. The point of a false balcony is to make a room feel more open and light. There will likely be enough room for if you want to grow any plants or herbs. False balconies are commonly found on apartment buildings, but they could work just as well on your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mezzanine balconies:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>These balconies are found inside your house. There will usually be a large deck and railings- it\u2019s basically the same as a true balcony, except that it\u2019s indoors. A mezzanine balcony is a perfect way to create a cosy corner in your home, as well as a good way of making it feel like there\u2019s more room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balconies are a great addition to your home, whichever type you choose. Have we managed to persuade you into getting one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Loggia balconies: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While a\u00a0loggia may look like a balcony at first glance, it&#8217;s actually a distinct\u00a0architectural feature. Traditionally not on the ground floor, thus giving an illusion of a balcony, a loggia is set apart by\u00a0its roof and support structure. A\u00a0balcony is suspended off a building and has no overhead covering, while\u00a0a loggia is part of the building and shares the roof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#77c720;font-size:11px\" class=\"has-text-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/tips-on-how-to-spice-up-your-balcony\/\">See Also: Tips on How to Spice Up your Balcony<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Balconies are the perfect way to make your home instantly feel more elegant and romantic, but how do you know which type to choose when there\u2019s so many out there?
