No. 20 Balconies & Rooftops · Coastal
Weathered Timber Balcony with Window Boxes
A tiny wooden folding table rests on a weathered dark timber small balcony, flanked by cedar shingle siding and decorative window boxes filled with flowering geraniums above cobblestone paving.
Design notes
Coastal design lets the light do the work. Look for weathered cedar shingle and white trim, bleached or grey decking, cable or rope railings, and a palette of sand, driftwood and sea-glass. Planting is grasses, hydrangeas, beach roses and anything that tolerates salt and wind; furniture is teak or wicker with white cushions. Keep surfaces matte and colours pale, and the mood stays breezy even miles from the shore.
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
