Transform your balcony into a haven with these tips.
Have a balcony? Enjoy this space, no matter how big or small, to the fullest by sprucing it in creative ways. Adding a table here or plant there will transform this area. You may even spend more time here than any other part of your house once you add a bit of style to it. Here are some creative ways to decorate your balcony and make it your own.
Add a small table
Have some alone time in the morning by enjoying your coffee on your balcony. Add a small table and chair. You can even opt for fold-up chairs. If your balcony is very tiny, use space-saving furniture and decorative floor pillows. Find colourful pillows to brighten up this space.
Add a lot of greenery
Lush plants can be a welcome addition to this small space. Not only will it look good, but it will also make your balcony smell fresh. For privacy, add bamboo or other tall plants to create a wall. If you are in a sunny spot, hang bamboo above your balcony for shade. You can even add a few herbs if you are into gardening these days.
Install a Swing
Secure a swing bench if your balcony has an overhang. Place a few pillows on the bench for a cosy feel. From here, you can watch the world go by and enjoy some time out in the sun. A hammock is another alternative to lay back and enjoy a nap.
Outdoor rug
If you are on a budget, a fabulous outdoor rug can add a whole lot of style to this space. Pick one with bold patterns and striking colours that stand out. A black and white chevron-striped rug or a fresh white and cobalt outdoor rug can be some styles that might fit in with your theme. If you are the creative kind, make one yourself to show more of your personality in this area of the home.
Add life to this space with blooms
A balcony filled with blooms can brighten up this space and add colour. Install a variety of flowers along the balcony railing. It is sure to look stunning. This tip is especially ideal if you have very little balcony space. Sweet alyssum, torenia, hibiscus, and rose are some beautiful flowers you can add to your balcony.
