A balcony is an interesting part of a home where one can relax and get a view of the surroundings, enjoy morning or afternoon tea, as well as an ideal spot to chat with friends.
Nowadays, many people live in flats, where balconies are usually very small. Balcony decorations may vary according to the space available, but there are plenty of ways to make a small balcony into a more relaxing and enjoyable place.
A small balcony decorated wisely with flowers, plants, space-saving furniture and fun items is quite easy and joyful. It creates a place where you can breathe fresh air to relax and rejuvenate, and connect yourself to nature and improve your mood.
Tips
- A small, space-saving table and matching chairs with decorative pillows can make it a cozy place.
- Add lots of colourful and leafy plants. Green plants and flowers will transform the place into a peaceful paradise. Climbing and hanging creepers from the ceiling and walls are the best. Keep low maintenance plants that need only sun and water, if you don’t have enough time to maintain them
- You can add a little privacy by hanging a blind or a screen made of cane. Place an outdoor rug that is easy to dust and washable. It can define the small space.
- If there is some extra space in the corner, you can add a small fountain. Outdoor water fountains look fantastic with plants and flowers. Earthen and terracotta pottery are also great for decor. You can also hang some wind chimes to make a calming sound.
- Lighting is another important element. Hanging lanterns or ceiling shades are good options for brightening up a balcony in the evening.
