For optimal views, refer to the balcony of this house in Sicily, Italy as an example. The space is emptied by a simple wrought iron railing of a popular design. However, the arrangement of plants and the choice of floor tiles creates a sense of serenity, style and not trivial.

The balcony of this house in Cartagena (Colombia) has a "Pared-back pretty" style, which means the design is simple, delicate and elegant but still beautiful and attractive. It is used as an open-plan living room. With columns and roofs but no walls but instead of railings, light from the lush garden outside still floods into the space. Combined with soothing decor, this is where indoor and outdoor blends.

Balconies with high railings are a priority for many families with small children. However, there are still design solutions to help keep the space aesthetically pleasing and less cramped. For example, this wrought-iron railing of this London townhouse is both safe and a highlight. This balustrade is designed in Art Deco-esque style, bringing sharpness to the exterior and blending old and new beauty.

If the balcony of the house overlooking the sea is flooded with sunlight, the simple space design is a reasonable choice. In particular, choosing glass as the main material for the railing is worth considering to create a modern, peaceful accent, suitable for the interior space and bring the sea closer.
