Even though there are still a few sunny and mild days, you still find yourself drawn indoors and you somehow see the balcony less and less? Then it might just be due to the inappropriate decoration. Instead of looking at the summer decorations and feeling sad that summer is already over, use something autumnal to emphasize the beautiful autumn mood. How could you decorate the balcony in autumn?

Let's start with what is probably the most obvious: the faded summer flowers in the flower boxes can (and should) be replaced with beautiful autumn flowers, plants and grasses. Of course, it's best to choose varieties that are particularly frost-hardy and will delight you with their pretty colors until winter. Heather is one of the most popular autumn plants for balconies and terraces, but pansies are also not uncommonBalcony flowers for autumn. Or how about:

- Round-leaved bellflower
- Bush ivy
- White lemon balm

- Dwarf rock pears
Choosing autumn colors, you can further emphasize the autumn mood if you decorate the balcony with flowers and plants in autumn.
