Balcony Living: Simple Tips

Your balcony is an extension of your home that deserves just as much love as your living room or kitchen.

With a little creativity and care, your balcony becomes more than just an outdoor space, but just like any part of your home, a few smart guidelines help keep it safe, beautiful, and enjoyable for everyone.

Balcony Living: Simple Tips

Here are some simple tips to help you get the most out of your balcony, while keeping things neighbour-friendly and building-safe.

đź§’ Safety First

Always supervise children. Avoid placing or sitting on any furniture or objects near the railings.

🛠️ Keep It Structural

  • No fencing, trellises, or surface changes

  • Stick to small, outdoor-friendly furniture

  • Avoid heavy items like oversized planters or bulky seating

🔥 What Not to Do

  • No BBQs, chimineas, or open flames

  • No smoking

  • Don’t hang laundry or attach anything to the railings

  • Never throw items off the balcony — this includes cigarette butts!

🌿 Plant with Care

Trim your plants regularly and make sure excess water doesn’t run off and cause drainage issues.

🔇 Keep It Quiet

Be considerate — loud music or parties aren’t allowed. Your balcony shouldn’t disturb your neighbours.

🏗️ Be Prepared for Maintenance

If scaffolding is needed, please clear your balcony completely. Management won’t be responsible for any damage to items left behind.
