How To Have A Balcony Without Building A Balcony

How to have a balcony without building a balcony? How is that so? Of course you might think of how difficult and more budget is needed to have a new balcony. Adding new structure to expand your floor is how you can have a normal balcony to enjoy. But, I can tell you that is not always have to be like that. You can trick your home to have a balcony of your dream. How? Well, by creating a balcony without building a balcony! Okay, calm down, I will explain more.

Window

In order to create a balcony, you need to work with your window. Weather your home is still under planning or existed, still you need to work something out with a window. Window is the essence of creating a balcony without building a window. What kind of window are we talking about?

If your home is still under planning and you wanted a balcony but you don’t want to add more significant budget; then you can use this trick that I’m going to explain. First, you need to have a big window that goes down to the floor. It’s called floor-to-ceiling window or a window wall. Make sure the window is open inward. A wall window would not cost you more than building a new balcony.

What if you want a balcony in your existed home? Well, if you have a ceiling-to-floor window, then bless you! You can proceed with the idea that I’m going to tell. But if you don’t have a big window wall; you need to renovate a little on the window which you want to convert into a balcony.

Balustrade

Balustrade is the other half-solution to create a balcony without building one. Install a balustrade on the outer side of the window wall and you got yourself a balcony without having to build a balcony.

You can pick any style of balustrade that matches your window style and that means matches your home’s style. You may have a glass balustrade to matches your futuristic home style. Glass balustrade is also perfect for view gazing. So if, you have amazing view to watch from your window, you can choose glass balustrade, so it would not block your view.

You can have a simple french style balustrade like my drawing if you love french look on your home or matches your french architecture home. I like the simple french style balustrade because I love a french window, which usually built in a form of ceiling-to-floor window. Choose whatever balustrade that you think suits your home and needs. The most important thing is you got yourself a balcony by simply installing a balustrade to a window wall.

So, what kind of window paired with what kind of balustrade that you love for a balcony?

French Door on House Exterior

I always love French doors, French windows on house exterior or even interior French door. I love modern French interior too, it’s simple but sophisticated, airy, high ceiling, big openings, has traditional touch, neutral colors. That’s are all the elements that I like from my point of view on modern French architecture and interior.

Now let’s find out a glance about French door history. French door was originated from France and started around 17th century where Renaissance style was dominating architecture on that era. The French door was originally adopted from a large glass opening which was a French window. At that time, the French windows were used for people to able to open and walk through the window to a patio. The glass panel window was favorable at that time as a source of abundant natural light. Afterward, the French windows became known as French door which is a big trend right now for houses in many country, not just France. French door has been used for both interior or exterior door.

This is a sketch I made when I think of French door on a house exterior. Black frame against white wooden wall. This is more to farmhouse style meets French doors. I gave a paving entryway to give more country French style.

I used watercolors to paint the French door on house exterior drawing. Here are the colors I used to finished my French door on house exterior drawing:

Watercolors in green, yellow, blue, white.
Drawing pen
Brush pen (especially on the paving entry way)

French door is a perfect solution to get more natural lights during the day and more view to enjoy which will bring thin boundary between outdoor and indoor. French door does complimenting regularity of a house exterior with its symmetrical and balanced proportion. That is why French style looks more traditional.

Well, I hope you enjoy my little thought of French door on house exterior that projected in a watercolor drawing.

See you again!

Be in creative state of mind!

Furniture Ideas For 10×10 Feet Craft Room, Nursery Room And Guest Room From Ikea

Now it’s time to show you Furniture Ideas for 10×10 Feet Craft Room, Nursery Room And Guest Room From Ikea. Last time, I have shared another 2 rooms in a post; Best Furniture Ideas for Office Room and Kid’s Playroom of 10×10 Feet From Ikea. As for those who just read this post, I should explain that these 2 posts are the extension of my earlier post of 5 Functional Rooms To Get From 10×10 Feet Space; which I have shared the furniture layout for 5 different type of room. And Those 10×10 feet rooms are the 5 rooms that are commonly needed in almost every home.

Without any further, let’s go through each room one by one:

1. Craft Room / Hobby Room with Ikea’s

Considering this is only a 10×10 feet craft room, lots of vertical storage for crafting materials and some display area for your creations are the important things to have. For that, I chose the high white cabinet from Ikea (1) and you can have 2 of them for maximum storage. Most of the important thing you need in a craft room of course is a table together with a comfy chair. I prefer the two folding drop-leaves table from Ikea (3) that allows you to adjust the table size according to your needs, isn’t it fun furniture idea? Especially when you have guests to help you with your crafts, you need more chairs around your craft table. And I picked the white mixed wooden chair that is just the furniture to do your crafts.

I chose neutral colors, white and wooden colors with metal elements. Besides the cabinet, table and chair; the rest are more to functional decoration elements, but they’re also important to upgrade your mood level and gives you inspiration; which plays a significant role to your crafting process. Those Ikea’s decorations are the metal desk lamp (7), cute succulent in tin pot (4) for the crafting table and 2 plants in wooden (6) and the other in white vase (2). The last element was the beige curtain from Ikea (8). The rest of the wall on this craft room is still an empty canvas for you to hang more of your creations, so it can serves as a gallery.

2. Nursery Room with Ikea’s

For me, a baby’s room should be serene, soft, cute, comfy and functional. For a 10×10 feet nursery room, a best selection of furniture should be done carefully, only the functional but comfy, cute, soft and serene that should be picked. This nursery room is in blue shades idea which I think is so serene; but if yours is a girl, just change it into pink or any other colors which provided by Ikea’s kids furniture.

The baby’s bed (3) has some drawers for storage and could be used as a seating / daybed too, what a value! And it’s very simple looking. Put a little teddy bear (9) on the bed for cuteness. More storage from the white cabinet (4) which you can arrange it together with the changing table (5). A simple white standing lamp (8) will provide a soft lighting to the nursery room. And for the mommy-baby time, a nursing comfy sofa (6) with a small thin curvy coffee table (7) will be a great idea. Last one is to add soft element to the nursery room by adding a blue curtain (1) with white lacy curtain (2) underneath. I think it goes very well.

3. Guest Room with Ikea’s

A small guest room of 10×10 feet could be a challenge, but if you choose the right furniture it will be a best functional guest room. That’s why I use Ikea’s furniture to describe the room’s idea, because the design is simple, sleek, slim and very functional. And lots of white which I love most. This Ikea’s simple design single bed (7) with extra bed underneath, plus 2 drawers screams for space efficiency! 2 in 1 bed plus storage? Who wouldn’t want that? Paired with 2 slim nightstands (1), and adjustable wall lamp (4), in-bed experience will be completed. I gave some bright colors stripes to the bedsheet and pillows (6) and mixed it with blue pillows (5) .

A clothing hanger for clothes and a chest on the bottom (8) is great furniture idea for a small 10×10 feet guest room; have it in 2 to give more storage. Put a medium tall plant next to it, for refreshing touch. A white sleek coffee table (11) with extra room below for mobile phones is paired with white wooden chair (10), so sophisticated but simple. Decorate the chair with blue or yellow pillow and succulent on the coffee table for more color and texture. The last element is the curtain (2) which I picked in white but has colorful top that match the bedsheet.

I chose mainly white color with other bright colors on each 10×10 feet room to give a bigger feeling to the space. Bright color, especially white is a small room’s best friend. And Ikea’s furniture is mostly comes in white and bright colors. The design is very functional and efficient, sleek with clean lines, just simple! Those qualities are best idea for furniture selection of small room’s like these 10×10 feet craft room, nursery room and guest room.

See you later!

Best Furniture Ideas for 10×10 Feet Office Room and Kid’s Playroom From Ikea

Best Furniture Ideas for 10×10 Feet Office Room and Kid’s Playroom From Ikea, where I can show you in images to give more picture to how the room would look like. Why I choose Ikea? Because it’s considered pocket friendly and good quality. But most of all, I love Ikea’s design; simple, clean and lots of white!

I have planned to present Ikea’s furniture ideas for the five rooms of 10×10 feet in images when but I would be overwhelmed, so I split it into 3 posts where I have more time to prepare it. First post was 5 Functional Rooms To Get From 10×10 Feet Space which I have shared the furniture layout for 5 different type of room. Those 10×10 feet rooms are 5 rooms that are commonly needed in a home.

I have prepared Ikea’s Best Furniture Ideas for 10×10 Feet Office Room and Kid’s Playroom from my perspective. Let’s go through each room one by one:

1. Office Room / Study Room with Ikea’s

The color scheme for the home office is white and light wooden color. I just love to style my desk in white. First is to have a long working desk, combined from two units of Ikea’s office desk with drawers (4). Decorated with functional clean design desk lamp (3), a sleek white desk organizer (2) and refreshing thyme synthetic plant (1) which does not need watering! In white and wooden, a revolving chair (5) is always my choice for working, it’s more unimpeded. And a matching wire trash bin (6). Don’t you love wire stuff? For more storage in office room, I chose the white and wooden legs cabinets (7) which will hide your clutter perfectly. Have 3 of them to create a row of cabinets on the left side of the room. Then you can add some wall organizers (8 and 9) to make use of the free space on the wall, considered this is just a 10×10 feet room. And a simple functional curtain (10) for the window. You can find those on Ikea’s office furniture section.

2. Kid’s Playroom wih Ikea’s

Kid’s playroom is fun to decorate, I chose white, blue and dash of yellow for the color scheme. A blue cloudy curtain (1), white wooden desk (3) and chair (4) with an educational toy (2) will keep your little one busy. Organize kid’s toys on vertical storage is a best furniture choice for 10×10 feet room; and this ikea’s storage (7 & 8) comes in sleek white. Add some fun soft toys (5 & 6) from ikea’s to splash some colors to the white storage. I can’t find a bean bag on ikea’s kid’s section, so I added a white rockin’ chair (10) and a standing board (9) for your kid’s creative time. The best feature in this room is the window seating (14) where your kid’s can read and sit, have a nap, hide their toys inside the storage underneath. In order to make it, have 3 of the window seats + storage (14) and lay some pillow seats (13); and at last decorate it with mixed colors and patterns pillows (11 & 12).

Office room and kid’s playroom are two of the 5 room you can get from 10×10 feet space that I wrote on my previous post. These 2 rooms considered “The Room” for adults and “The Room” for kids. So, having these office room and kid’s playroom somewhere in your home, squeezed inside 10×10 feet room is a wish come true. And furnished it with best furniture ideas from Ikea is an amazing wish come true. Amazing happiness for the adults and the kids.

Stay and follow me for the rest of the 5 functional room of 10×10 feet, which are nursery room, guest room and craft room with furniture ideas from Ikea.

5 Functional Rooms To Get From 10×10 Feet Space

5 Functional Rooms To Get From 10×10 Feet Space

You probably ask yourself what room can I get from 10×10 feet space? Such a tiny space for a functional room! Yes, a small space indeed, but yes you can get a very functional room for just 10×10 feet space. It is not a spacious room but everything you need are fit into the room. Of course not all things you want, but all things you need to have for the room to be functional as it’s should be.

Here I got 5 functional rooms to get from 10×10 feet space with the furniture layout. These are the rooms that usually needed or to be added later in a home. The 5 rooms are:

1. Office Room / Study Room

Actually home office / study room is a must room in one’s home. Even you don’t work from home, you still need a special room where you can do something with your laptop, mails, do your taxes, anything; and especially nowadays where almost all people lives their life with internet. This room can be very simple, a working desk, a comfy chair, and shelves. I prefer large working desk, an office chair, some book shelve and maybe some wall shelves to get more storage. And all of that are easily fit in a 10×10 feet office room.

2. Kid’s Playroom

Kid’s playroom is a perfect solution to prevent a home from clutter, not having a grown up room, and be able to have easy monitoring on kids playing session. Moreover to help kids to be more discipline and responsible to their own toys and room. You can have very fun layout and interior for kid’s room, depends on your taste and budget. I choose to have more empty space for kids to express themselves and be active. So, I put some shelves, a kid’s desk and chair, a window seats with lots of cushions and storage room underneath, a nice bright carpet and a fun bean bag. All of these furniture are fit in this 10×10 feet kids playroom.

3. Nursery Room

Just planned to have a baby? Or adding another? Well, maybe you haven’t had a nursery room until the test pack positive. In that case, you may have a small space of at least 10×10 feet at your home which you can make over into a functional nursery room. I have arranged a baby crib, a nice cozy lazy sofa + small table for milk time and a storage shelve for baby’s equipment. Other decorations can be added later when you have arranged the main furniture layout.

4. Guest Room

Having an of-town guest but not having a guest room? That’s okay if you have a room of 10×10 feet that you can converted into a guest room. A bed, a simple wardrobe storage shelve, bedside table, maybe adding a small chair and a coffee table would be great for your guest. This small space would be functional once you arrange the furniture and leave some aesthetic touch for more pleasant experience for your guest to enjoyed.

5. Craft Room / Hobby Room

Your hobby and your crafting needs are build up but unable to make it happen? You need a craft / hobby room to accommodate your needs to create. A big crafting table, lots of storage and great ambience for your creativity to kick in, that’s all you need to put in inside your 10×10 feet craft room. Functional and inspires are the key for great craft room.

Love the layouts of the 5 functional rooms you can get from 10×10 feet space? Please let me know on the comment. Or do you need to consult on the ideas, please don’t be hesitate to ask me. On next other post, I will show you what furniture you can have in each room that would make the 10×10 feet room be functional and of course beautiful but pocket friendly. So, stay with me and follow me for more.

Tree House For Entertainment – Exterior And Interior

Inspired by autumn, I have designed a tree house for adults to entertain friends and family in a small gathering. On my previous post, Entertaining Tree House Design; I have shown the floor plan, which was only one entertaining room with mini bar plus pantry and a spacious seating room. The seating room and the mini bar are facing to the glass openings with generous outside view.

This entertaining tree house can be built attached to a huge tree on a backyard to get more view from the tree house’s large openings. My tree house design is 3 m x 6 m (around 10 ft x 20 ft) with the height of 2.5 m (around 8.2 ft) floor to ceiling and floating 2 meter (around 6.5 ft) above the ground. Modern clean lines with minimalist exterior and reinforced by steel structure of one column with cantilever system.

The seating area was completed with banquette seating which provides storage and flexibility to be re-arranged as desired, like maybe into a bed. A small space for you to relax and have a small gathering to be entertained and entertaining. You can even convert it into a painting room, craft room, a writing room, a home office or just a place to do some yoga. It’s a great place to spent time outside the house to get more privacy and tranquility without being far away from your home.

To complete the design of my tree house, I provided a floor plan, front elevation and side elevation from last post and here are the exterior perspective and two interior perspectives which showed the mini bar / pantry and seating area. As it is for entertaining purpose, I tried to put some gold ambience in the white, black and brown colors scheme.

Maybe you got inspired to get your own tree house or an entertaining room outside your home? Let me know in comments, and what would it look like if you wanna build one?

See you on November!

Be entertained and creative!

Entertaining Tree House Design – Floor Plan

This fall season is reminding me of trees, nature, leaves, earth, all outdoor and natural things. From there, I was inspired to design a tree house. Not a tree house for kids, but for adults, where you can bring your friends and family in a small gathering. Yes, a tree house for entertaining! It would be a great place to hang out after a dinner party, like the coming Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and even New Year’s eve.

If you see the floor plan, the tree house is only one entertaining room of mini bar plus pantry and a spacious seating room, both are facing to the glass openings where you can enjoy the outside view. Maybe you can even watch fireworks from the tree house, isn’t that amazing?

This tree house design is a small space of 3 m x 6 m (around 10 ft x 20 ft) with the height of 2.5 m (around 8.2 ft) floor to ceiling. A small space for relaxing and small gathering where you’re entertained and entertaining. This entertaining mini house can be built on your backyard, especially if you have a big property where you get more view to enjoyed from the tree house.

A modern clean lines with minimalist exterior, my tree house design was floating 2 meter (around 6.5 ft) above the ground. Attached to a huge tree, the tree house was reinforced by steel structure with one column that supporting the entire tree house with cantilever system.

On common days where you do not use it much for entertaining, you can convert it into a painting room, craft room, a writing room, a home office or just a place to do some yoga. To me, it’s a great place to spent time outside the house without paying more and a place to get more privacy and tranquility without being far away from your home.

On this occasion, I only have time to finished the colored floor plan, front elevation and side elevation. I guess it’s enough for now to describe the tree house exterior design and the entertaining interior layout. I will show you the perspective of interior and exterior of the tree house design on my next post. So be patience and make sure you check out my next post for the complete picture of the tree house design for entertaining.

See you again, very soon!

Let your creativity entertain!

Sandwich Tiny Home For Rent – Exterior & Floor Plan

I came across the thought of having use of backyard area for something profitable for those who has a house with big yard. It would be great if you can have a rent-room outside your home so you still can maintain your privacy while earning extra money. A tiny home would be best to get higher fee than only a rent-room.

What I meant with tiny home for rent is a very packed home with bedroom, bathroom, pantry, and sitting area. So basically, it still covers most of all function in a house but managed into tiny and multi-function spaces. It fits right for single people.

I designed this tiny home for-rent in a sandwich shape. A 3 m x 5 m (around 10 ft x 17 ft) space with wide openings for natural lights and tiny porch with L shape to give more space for outdoor activity. The sandwich home will be attached to the backyard fence to save more space.

This design is quite fancy with wooden floor and lots of glass openings, so this sandwich tiny home can be a wonderful guest house too. And as a tiny home for rent, it’s going to be a quite good money.

I drew and colored the floor plan but I haven’t done it with the exterior. So, the exterior is only in sketch and on m next post I will color it and complete it with colored interior to have a better experience of this tiny home for rent.

The sandwich tiny home serves the needs of bathroom, bedding area, closet, working table, pantry, sitting / TV area, mini bar / breakfast bar. And for the exterior, I designed an open porch with the width of 1.5 m (around 5 ft) for the occupant to have some outdoor activity like sitting and maybe do some yoga.

Get more details on my sandwich tiny home on my next post ( Interior Of Sandwich Tiny Home ). Hope you get inspired. And if you have trouble with your home layout / any layout, you can share it with me and I will gladly to help you.

See you soon!

Interior of Minimalist Box – House Design For Bachelor

On my previous post, I have shown you the floor plan and exterior view of the box – house. This minimalist home is very suitable for a bachelor with simple and practical life. With 40 m 2 (around 430 sq ft).

The space layout is multifunction as it is to save area. With a mezzanine that serves as a bedroom and completed with wardrobe storage; and the ground floor of 20 m2, this box – house is consist of a bathroom, a tiny kitchen with a breakfast bar (also as eating area laptop desk and a drinking bar), a sitting room (for entertainment and also as a tiny gathering area), and a staircase that has a storage room underneath. At the front of the house, a little minimalist terrace is welcoming any guest. So, even though you live in such minimalist home with very limited space, you still can entertain a small group of guests. That will definitely warm up your place as it will give a homie feeling.

If you have not read my first part of this minimalist box-house, I should describe it again that this bachelor’s house is a concrete structure and brick walls house with glass wide openings that finished with all white paint. It represents a modern minimalist style which is so simple with clean lines, minimum decorative elements and very functional and practical home. Surely fit for bachelors.

I hope my box-house design for bachelor inspires you in any kind of creative thoughts and projects. Will see you on my other simple architectural project next month! Follow me!

Don’t minimize your creativity!

See you!
