Umm, I think you could afford an interior designer! But as I'm awfully generous with my pearls, here goes. The lower balcony is an informal extension or your living areas, and will probably count as living floorspace more often than not. I would include an outdoor kitchen along the side wall, and install a floating timber bar top along the balcony wall, as a drinks bench or informal dining slab overlooking the city skyline. At the opposite end a vertical garden wall and a grass carpet, turf lawn rug in that area. I would introduce round outdoor furniture to encourage relaxing, perhaps exterior grade beanbag or more contemporary rattan tub chairs, with charcoal upholstery. Ones that can rotate to face your flat screen when entertaining. So one end is lounge the other dining, although not sure a table would be needed as the dining area links from the inside and doors can open Ruhr up, so the bench and stools is all I'd do, to keep it feeling light and spacious. Use bold and bright pops of colour in cushions along a built in timber slatted bench at the lounge end along the balcony wall, build this is a seat with storage capacity running almost full length stopping a t the mid wall section, change direction so it's an L shape, with the L a planter box also in slatted timber, but filled with plants like ginger plants. Tis will act as a divider between both ends but not all across. Upstairs as it's huge, divide with a slatted wall, perhaps with stainless steel mirror sandwiched here to reflect each end, my reason is to give both bedrooms their own private balcony. Box furniture each end, and Provide a pull out line both sides of the screen. Mobile planter boxes on castors so they can be moved for sunlight. Let these two separate decks be an extension of the personal bedrooms, with individual colour and finish. Although I'd paint the inside of your balconies in a concrete grey so they disappear into the horizon. Try horizontal bands of grey, graduating from charcoal at the bae, then into lighter greys at the top, take your colour cues from the city skyline.

Hi Sandra, I would recommend a wicker compact lounge setting with a driftwood finish to go with your paver - this supports the rustic touch of your current area , such as this example below from Freedom Furniture: http://www.freedom.com.au/furniture/outdoor/outdoor-tables/23455764/umbria-outdoor-sofa--coffee-table-package-amazontaupe/ You can use outdoor throw cushions and decorative accents like hurricanes/lanterns that are of brighter colours to spruce up the setup.

Hi its Tracey here from Trace of Elegance. I would recommend adding a couple of occasional chairs in a different colour, eg if you have orange accessories add this in then tie it back in with the colour of the sofa with cushion or throw. Also a coffee table would look great. Don't go solid to the floor as you would not want to hide the great rug you have on display. I would also move lamp near sofa.
