How to choose the right Juliet balcony for your bedroom
Juliet balconies are versatile, with lots of different styles and customisation options available, allowing you to design a balcony that’s the perfect match for your home and personal preferences.

Bedroom Juliet balcony FAQs
Still got questions?
We’ve provided answers to some of the most common questions we’re asked about installing a Juliet balcony in the bedroom:
Do Juliet balconies make a bedroom bigger?
While a Juliet balcony will not increase your bedroom’s floor space, it will make it feel more open, light, and airy, creating the illusion of more space.
Can you open the doors on a Juliet balcony?
Yes, a Juliet balcony acts as a safety barrier, so installing one makes it safe to open wide full-length windows or French doors.
How much does a Juliet balcony cost to install in a bedroom?
The price of installing a Juliet balcony varies depending on the size and type of balcony you opt for, the complexity of the installation, and the installer you choose.
Is planning permission needed for a Juliet balcony?
In the UK, installing a Juliet balcony is usually classed as a ‘permitted development’ and does not require planning permission (providing your balcony does not have a platform). However, there are some exceptions, so it’s always best to check with your Local Planning Authority (LPA).
Are Juliet balconies safe for upper floors?
Yes, providing you have bought your Juliet balcony from a reputable supplier like C&R Direct, and it complies with UK Building Regulations. Juliet balconies are designed to act as a secure safety barrier outside of an upper-floor door or window.
