How a Juliet Balcony Can Enhance Your Bedroom 

Easy to install, a Juliet balcony alongside a large window let more light into your bedroom, making it feel bigger. It is the perfect solution when you are wondering how to enhance your bedroom.

Picking the Right Spot 

A Juliet balcony with cover a large opening in your bedroom, giving you a much bigger window on the outside world. It can be a narrow set of French patio doors or if money is no object and the view fantastic, you could potentially open up an entire wall, subject to structural technicalities. 

Either way, the light will come flooding in and is the main reason why people opt for a Juliet balcony in the bedroom. Thus, picking the position is an important decision. 

Choose a spot that gives not only the best view but the most amount of light. South facing will have the sun all day, which also encourages warmth in the bedroom too. 

Choosing the Right style 

Now you have the regulations and technicalities of a Juliet balcony in the bedroom under control, you can now turn your attention to the fun bit: choosing the style of your balustrade and balcony. 

As you would expect, there are many styles and finishes from which to choose. 

For a stunningly modern look, there are frameless balustrade systems that suit larger windows, such as this Skyforce Juliet balcony Origin supplied to a customer in Hull. When the window is fully open, you have an uninterrupted view. It is a minimal style too and often tricks the eye into thinking that there is nothing there, just an expanse of the open window and a fantastic view of the outside.  

Choose the Right Materials 

You can use any material for a balcony, proving that it is strong enough to be able to withstand what is known as ‘dead or imposed weight’. This means standing firm in the face of something or someone continually pushing against it, either slowly or with force. 

There are many material choices and solutions, from easy to clean glass to a combination of metal and glass. There is also the traditional appeal of iron railings, either plain or with intricate, twisted detail.
