Ideas for stylish window decoration with access to a balcony.

Traditional

The simplest and most common option is to use straight curtains, placing them on both sides of the balcony block. Ideal for those who do not visit the balcony often. Fabric curtains add coziness to the room – if desired, the balcony door can be disguised by simply pulling the curtain.

Usually, designers try to play up the window opening so that the room seems larger: to do this, the cornice is placed along the entire width of the wall so that the main part of the curtains covers the piers. This way, the window opening seems larger and makes the room visually wider.

Choose the fastening so that the curtains slide as freely as possible, and the fabric does not create creases. Curtains with eyelets are considered a practical option, while those with a hidden cornice are more aesthetically pleasing.

Roller blinds

One of the most ergonomic options for decorating a window block. The products are mounted above the window and separately above the door. They can be lowered and raised according to your needs, for example, by closing the window and leaving the exit to the balcony free.

Roller blinds are suitable for laconic interiors: for example, for a small kitchen. They are economical, easy to care for, do not absorb odors and fit into any modern style. If desired, the product can be hung directly on the sash, then the position will not need to be adjusted.

Roman blinds

This decorative item not only protects the room from light and prying eyes, but also gives the interior a finished look. The choice of Roman models with elegant and even lush design is so great that they can be easily selected even for an expensive classic setting – with them, the window unit with a balcony door will look expensive and elegant.

You can hang them together with a roller blind, curtains or blinds – the setting will only benefit from this. Combine different materials by type of fabric and degree of transparency to achieve an interesting effect and create the impression that a designer worked on the design.

Transparent door and tulle

If the room is located on the north side, the presence of a balcony significantly affects its illumination. When a room lacks natural light, it appears gloomy and unfriendly. The problem can be solved with thin tulle curtains – this is an ideal option for those who feel uncomfortable with uncovered windows.

When replacing windows, choose a completely transparent door with a single large glass unit – this will let more light into the room. If the lower half of the door leaf is covered with a plastic sandwich (or a wooden panel), you will save money, but you will deprive yourself of the feeling of spaciousness.

A place to read

An option for those who are just starting a renovation and want to think through every square meter to the smallest detail, making housing as functional as possible. If you slightly lower and widen the window sill, you will get another seat, which you can turn into your favorite cozy corner for relaxation. This is especially important for small rooms.

Conciseness

An idea for minimalists who want to let as much light into the room as possible. If you live on a high floor and enjoy the view, you can leave the window with a balcony door empty. The technique is not suitable for supporters of cozy country and Provence styles, it will look out of place in an expensive classic setting, but it will fit perfectly into the Scandinavian style.

Connoisseurs of eco-style, as well as lovers of indoor plants can play up not only the window sill, but also the threshold, placing several flower pots on it. The idea is suitable for those who do not often go out onto the balcony.

Asymmetry

A practical and non-standard solution for decorating a window with a balcony door is to use one or more curtains located asymmetrically. You can hang one thick or tulle curtain, adding a grab and leaving the door freely accessible.

You can also combine a straight fabric curtain with Roman or roller blinds, getting beauty and functionality “in one bottle”.

If there is a desk next to the windowsill, lifting curtains will be the most convenient option for decorating the window. But to soften the severity of the setting, it is better to decorate the balcony door with flowing fabric.

Don’t limit your imagination when decorating a room with a balcony door – an unconventional approach and thoughtfulness will allow you to turn all the minuses into pluses.
