Indoor-Outdoor Living: Creating a Sanctuary at our Balcony

149

Step into a cherished haven within our home, a place that brings us immense joy and serenity - the balcony. Each day, our journey begins with a gentle awakening to inspect the vitality of our beloved plant companions, tending to them with care and devotion. This very corner, which we hold dear, also serves as a tranquil refuge from the occasional whirlwind of our work. For the blinds, we chose to embrace the allure of black and white bamboo blinds, thus imbuing our outdoor haven with a visually captivating interplay of contrasting shades and a delightful textural dimension.
We chose to add folding doors that separates the living space and the balcony to allow ample sunlight to shine across the space. This door also allowed us to keep our cats away from nibbling the plants.
This 2-seater leather sofa was a hand-me-down from our vintage-loving uncle. We believed it would be most fitting to position this sofa in this space, allowing any of us to relax in the company of the refreshing outdoor breezes and the soothing sounds of nature (and the road haha). Additionally, we observed how its color harmoniously complements the overall aesthetic of our home, making it an ideal addition to our decor.
One of our cats' favorite pastimes involves gazing at the surroundings while perching atop the sofa.
The incoming sunlight provides our cats with the perfect opportunity for a bit of sunbathing. Each morning, we often discover them reclining in various sunlit spots around the house.
