Sonakshi Sinha’s balcony feels like a resort; designers explain why · indianexpress.com

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal have made their balcony feel like a small resort.

It has a comfortable sunken seating area where they drink coffee and talk.

The balcony also has plants, soft lights, textured walls and bright cushions.

The furniture is low, so people can still enjoy the view of Mumbai.

Designers say the balcony feels like another room instead of an unused outdoor space.

Many people now want balconies where they can relax, work or spend time with family.

A survey cited by one expert found that 75 percent of property seekers look for homes with balconies.

The main idea is that a balcony does not need to be huge if it makes people want to use it.
