Most homes in Malaysia comes with a balcony, and it is often only used as a laundry space to dry clothes or perhaps a storage space.
But instead of keeping it as a laundry or storage space, why not close it up and create a whole new space in your home? The possibilities are endless, from a herb garden, to a cool lounge area where you can relax, to a study area for your home office.
Landed property is ideal for closing up the balcony, for example in a two storey semi-d, terrace or a bungalow house. However, if you live in a strata title apartment or condo, there will be strict rules concerning balcony renovations, so please check first.
Here are some great examples of glass-covered balconies that we have found for you to take inspiration from! Â (yes we know that some of the images look like overseas condos, but we hope they give you some ideas nonetheless)
