Modern Light Luxury - Balcony: Don't Let It Drag You Down

A tidy light luxury residential balcony. When viewed from indoors through the French windows, it should not be a visual disruption. The method is simple and inexpensive: the floor is paved with dark gray non-slip tiles or outdoor wood-grain tiles in a color scheme similar to the interior; the clothes drying rack is replaced with a fully retractable hidden type; the air conditioner outdoor unit is concealed by a wood-grain grille of the same color as the wall, while maintaining heat dissipation; the walls are painted the same warm gray as the interior; two large plants in plain ceramic pots are placed in the corner. Thus, when the curtains are drawn, the balcony is an extension of the space, not a utility room. Avoid: leaving exposed clothes drying racks and clutter, directly exposing the outdoor unit, using floor tiles with colors that clash with the interior, adding high-saturation plastic flower pots.

一個經過整理的輕奢住宅陽台。從室內透過落地窗看出去時,它不該是視覺的破口。做法很簡單也不貴:地面鋪上與室內色系相近的深灰止滑磚或戶外木紋磚;曬衣架改成可完全收起的隱藏式;冷氣室外機以一道與牆同色的木紋格柵遮住但保留散熱;牆面刷成與室內相同的暖灰;角落放兩株大型植物種在素色的陶盆中。因此拉開窗簾時,陽台是空間的延伸而不是雜物間。避免:留下外露的曬衣架與雜物、讓室外機直接暴露、使用與室內衝突的地磚顏色、加入高彩度的塑膠花盆。
