Balconies are intended to give apartment residents an additional living space where they can enjoy fresh air and a beautiful view (for some lucky residents). One of the disadvantages of the apartment is the limited privacy, which also extends to the balcony. Balconies offer sunlight and extra space, but everyone knows the feeling of constant observation. In most cases, everyone can see everyone else's balconies as well as the inside of the apartment. However, there are several options to ensure that apartment residents have a certain level of privacy. We have put together 26 ideas for good balcony privacy protection for you, which will show you the different privacy protection options.
Tall plants on the balcony provide visual interest as well as protect privacy. Don't buy the tallest plants at the nursery. Instead, choose the types of plants you like and line up the group along the railings. They can vary in size, but arrange the taller plants in a way that blocks the view of neighbors. Maybe you can add some hanging plants too.
Plants that are suitable as privacy screenscan be found here.

Balcony railings are usually not much larger than waist high. Still, fabric panels can provide some privacy if residents want to relax in a comfortable chair. They are available in a wide range of materials, shapes and colors.
The bamboo mat
Bamboo blinds and mats are lightweight and relatively easy to install. Not only do they offer style and privacy, but they can also block the sun, which is especially appreciated on hot days. The only disadvantage is that they are not a permanent solution as they quickly deteriorate from wind and weather.

Curtains
Simple curtains can be hung with wire or hooks and quickly taken down for washing. By choosing lightweight fabrics, you can still enjoy the view while remaining slightly hidden from prying eyes. Opaque curtains will not only block the neighbors' views, but also the sunlight.
