This is the original photo of the layout, showing the partition and pillar that were previously installed by the previous owner to separate the balcony from the living room.
So we decided to remove everything and elevate the tiling same as the living room.
Previously, we had a bar table, which was also a great idea. You could sip a cup of coffee while overlooking the lush greenery outside. (Sorry for the night photo; it doesn't do the scenery justice.
This is the final look. As you can see, we've opted for curtains in the living room to add elegance, while choosing Venetian blinds for the entryway to create a distinct and separate aesthetic from the living room.
The original layout from previous owner. We're glad that we've been able to transform both our living room and entryway/balcony into a modern and fresher look!
