Even the smallest balcony can be transformed into a real oasis of well-being with the right decoration. With beautiful plants and a few touches of color you can conjure up a wonderful place where you can enjoy the summer. Here we give you some tips on balcony design that can help you.
How to create the perfect outdoor space in the city
One of the easiest and most beautiful things to add to your little outdoor oasis is flowering plants. Even the smallest balcony has space for one or two flower pots. Plant an herb or vegetable garden. Many fruits and vegetables come in dwarf varieties for growing in a planter. Lemons, tomatoes and peppers are perfect for this.
Flowers, whether annual or perennial, are perfect for outdoors. When purchasing flowers, consider the amount of direct sunlight and the orientation of the balcony. For a nice effect, use ivy or other climbing plants that would provide privacy and sun protection. These plants wind around everything they touch and can create a green oasis in the middle of the city.
Use the vertical space
Folding furniture is suitable for a small balcony because it doesn't take up much space. And since balcony furniture needs to withstand the weather outside, choose sturdy pieces that are also easy to clean. A small sofa made from Euro pallets would be a nice idea. Outdoor rugs and carpet mats are another great way to add more color. An artificial grass carpet or mat with a stylish pattern and texture would make the balcony look cozy and inviting.
Colorful accents for a nice mood
Use color to create a beautiful mood. Create a warm, inviting atmosphere with pillows, flower pots and other accents in red, orange and yellow. Give your outdoor room a fresh look with elements of blue, green and white. Make it shine with candles, large and small lanterns, and solar-powered lights. The soft light will give a romantic feeling.
