No. 7 Balconies & Rooftops · Modern Farmhouse
Balcony Bench Backed by Timber Privacy Screen
This small balcony features a cushioned timber bench along a slatted privacy screen, accompanied by potted bamboo in terracotta planters on weathered wood plank decking beside a red-brick exterior.
Design notes
Modern farmhouse design keeps things honest: white board-and-batten or painted brick, black-framed windows and doors, standing-seam metal roofs, cedar posts and beams. Outside, that means gravel and bluestone rather than fancy paving, a big lawn, raised beds, a porch or pavilion with a fan, and simple furniture in black or natural wood. Lighting is gooseneck barn lights and warm string lights, never anything glossy.
What to look for
- Weight — lightweight planters and mix, no wet soil in stone pots
- Wind and privacy handled with screens and planters, not walls
- One purpose per balcony: dine, lounge or grow
