Traditional French balcony design

French balconies look and act like a regular balcony with the only exception being that there is a railing placed on the wall directly behind the glass. You cannot step out onto a balcony, but you can use the space for decorating with flowers and bringing more fresh air and sunshine into your home.
The French balcony is not a place to store your belongings. It is the space that enhances the aesthetics of the house exterior and decorates old and new architectural designs. French balconies are narrow, small spaces that look lovely with flowering plants.

Traditional French balcony designs feature cast-iron railings with curved and floral details. The architectural elements in the classic and Art Nouveau style curve towards streets increasing the balcony space a bit. The classy designs create a noble, sophisticated, beautiful look, and a great first impression.
