But you can use examples of beautifully designed balconies to imitate them or get inspiration for your own variations. So how could you decorate a balcony for Christmas, for example?
At first glance there is usually a lack of space, but in reality even this small area offers plenty of potential to create the perfect Christmas atmosphere outside. Make clever use of whatever space you have, but also avoid overdoing it and cluttering everything up.
Decorate your balcony for Christmas despite a lack of space? No problem!
How do I decorate my balcony for Christmas? Table and seating area, walls, railings, floor, window and balcony door and not forgetting the ceiling for hanging Christmas decorations: As you can see, there is no shortage of options. However, if you lack imagination, here are a few ideas that will hopefully inspire you to come up with other ideas for decorating your balcony for Christmas:
The railing for plants and more
The first thing that comes to mind is probably a Christmas balcony planting for the flower boxes and yes, that is actually a wonderful idea. There aresome plants, which do not mind the cold and which you can use for this purpose. But in addition, you can also add a few Christmas plugs or lights (e.g. fairy lights) among the balcony plants or decorate the rest of the railing with Christmas garlands, wreaths or funny characters (e.g. Santa Claus climbing up the railing). .
Christmas garlands made of fir green and often with lights are not only popular, they are actually part of it. If you like fir greentoo traditional and boringis, you can vary it with other evergreen branches or choose eucalyptus for a more modern look or balls in unusual colors.
The seating area must appear cozy and inviting in winter
Cuddly blankets and pillows simply belong on the chair, sofa or bench. Then you can even spend a mild winter day outside and cover yourself up if necessary. A tablecloth or table runner with a Christmas design can also be added and how about some decorations for the table? Place candles/lanterns and Christmas figureson a tray, spread a little pine greenery, Christmas balls and pine cones and why not one or two gingerbread houses or men.
Use the floor for larger Christmas decorations
Lanterns, potted plants or pine greenery in a Christmas pot or basket and evena smaller Christmas tree: An empty corner or the space next to the seating area is ideal for such elements. The main thing is that they don't get in the way.
You can also place a shelf and decorate it with decorations. Or how about a tree stump, a wooden box or something similar as a side table on which you can also place some Christmas decorations. Feel free to be creative when decorating your balcony for Christmas.
Decorate the balcony for Christmas on the walls and ceiling
Bare walls and windows provide the perfect background for beautiful Christmas and winter decorations for the balcony. Vertical garlands or light chain curtains, for example, are really suitable alongside wreaths and have a huge influence on the atmosphere. How about creating a Christmas tree on the wall? This works wonderfully with driftwood or other sticks and is quick to make with yarn and small balls.
You can also use decorations hanging freely from the ceiling. Glass pendants in which tea lights can be placed make the balcony look much more romantic and also provide pleasant lighting when it gets dark so early. Or how about a heart like that? It can be bought as a blank and then designed individually and suitable for Christmas with ribbons etc. More ideas for homemade outdoor Christmas decorationscan be found here.
Remember that it can get windy in winter and attach hanging Christmas decorations to balconies so that they can be removed quickly and easily or are protected from the wind.
Windows and doors can also be designed
If you would like to decorate the balcony windows for Christmas, you can of course also use the window sill. It doesn't always have to be flower boxes. Anything you would use in the seating area can also be placed there:starting with lanternsto Christmas figures and decorative pillows.
