That scene in Titanic, where DiCaprio yells that he's the king of the world? That's what it feels like to have an awesome balcony. No matter where you are, nothing feels better then stepping out onto your balcony and overlooking the world around you. But don't settle for any old balcony until you get of taste of what some designers have been cooking up.

A coffee and a chat

Looking for the perfect spot to have coffee when you have guests over? Well we might just have a winner here, because we believe that this balcony is exactly what you're looking for. 

Framed by various plants, this balcony just breaths rest and relaxation. And when you're by yourself, this place becomes the ultimate office, letting you finish whatever needs to be done, but without all the rush of the indoors.

Relax in the future

For those wanting something a bit more sleek and modern, this is the spot. Keeping the clutter to a minimum, this balcony focuses on what's important and then goes 100% on making it as clean and cool looking as possible. 

However, as anyone living in the future should know, it's always good to remember the past and you can easily do that thanks to the large chest of drawers, that will no doubt have anything you need on hand, making the balcony as useful as any room in the house.

Perfect chaos

On the other hand, for those looking for an explosion of colour and clutter, you may have just found your perfect match. There's a certain beauty in perfect chaos. The way things just seem to come together and form an order all on their own is sometimes mind-blowing. And blowing minds is something you'll definitely be doing whenever you have visitors around.

Grow your own balcony

Do you have the itch to grow something, but live in a place with no garden in sight? Well look no further! 

With an attached little bit of green and enough space to fit as many potted plants as your heart desires, this balcony is a reflection of you and whatever you want your mini-garden to be. What's more, this is also a great place for your kids and pets as they play around on the grass without ever having to leave your apartment.

A pool with a view

If you want to go one step beyond having a garden in on your balcony, why not just go ahead and try a pool? Chilling by the water as never been so easy, especially if it's literally attached to your house and is exclusive to only you and your friends. 

And, if you don't feel like getting soaked, why not lounge around on a sun chair and read a book, letting the minutes simply wash away.

The purr-fect spot

A good bit of shade is always welcome, especially now-a-days, when a lot of what we look at is screens. Also, chances of falling asleep in a place like this are pretty high, so it's good to now that you won't wake up with an annoyingly burnt face. 

What's more, you and your cat can share the balcony with it taking the top and you staying on the cushions below, making sure that you've both got the space you deserve.

Pretty in orange

It doesn't matter how big your balcony, because it'll probably never be as cute (or as orange) as this place! Grab a glass of some cold sweet orange juice from the kitchen, curl up on the chair and let the hours float by. And, when you get into a creative mood, feel free to add more fun little frills and make the place a reflection of yourself.

Classy in the clouds

We didn't think it possible, but somebody did manage to mix together a old-fashioned parlor and a balcony, giving us one of the classiest looking balconies in the world!  Black and white will never go out of style and neither will this place. Perfect for an evening drink and watching the city slowly go to sleep, this is one balcony you can't go wrong with.
