During our house renovation, we discussed with the renovator about the standard size of balcony in feet and learned that the average balcony size is 4 feet deep by 10 feet wide. But for spacious houses, you can opt for balcony size of at least 6 to 8 feet. The size mainly depends on the space availability and, of course, your preference so you can customise it according to your need.

How Wide Should a Balcony Be?

As I said, the standard size for a balcony is 4 feet deep by 10 feet wide, and for spacious houses, the standard size is 6 feet by 8 feet deep. You can customise this standard size for balcony as per your space availability. Some types of balconies and their average size are:

Balcony Type 

Average Size 

Juliet Balcony

2 to 4 feet in depth

Apartment Balcony

5 to 10 feet in depth and 4 to 6 feet in width

Balcony is a Luxury Apartments 

Larger 10 feet in depth and 6 to 10 feet in width

I will suggest you consult with an architect or renovator and design your balcony accordingly.

Hey,

When I was looking to rent an apartment in Mumbai, one of the things that I was particular about was having a balcony. I wanted a place where I could sit outside and enjoy the view or just relax with a cup of tea. However, I had no idea about standard balcony size.

What is the standard size of balcony?

After doing some research and visiting a few apartments, I learned that the size of a balcony can vary depending on the location, type of building, and purpose.I found that the standard size of a balcony ranges from 4 feet to 6 feet in width and 7 feet to 10 feet in length in a residential building. The height of the balcony is generally between 7 feet to 10 feet from the floor level.

On the other hand, standard size of balcony in commercial buildings such as hotels and shopping malls ranges from 8 feet to 12 feet in width and 10 feet to 15 feet in length. The height of the balcony is generally between 10 feet to 12 feet from the floor level.

Standard balcony size  in an apartment depends on the Building Bye-laws and state laws.The National Building Code states that, “Parapet walls and handrails provided on the edges of roof terraces, balcony, veranda, etc. shall not be less than 1.0 m and not more than 1.2 m in height from the finished floor level.”
