Juliet balcony
Shallow ornamental ledge
A Juliet balcony is a narrow balcony with a railing but no floor space to stand on, typically fronting a tall window or French doors.
Named for the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet, it provides an architectural flourish and allows doors to open safely without an actual projecting platform: The bedroom has French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony.
