Place Plenty of Plants

• One of the keys to creating a beautiful outdoor space is to add elements of nature! You can add tiers of a variety of plants and flowers, from violets to cacti, to make it look like a decadent garden. Make sure you water regularly and keep them trimmed and it will not only look like paradise, but it will give you that serene feeling of being in nature. Check out this blog on the best plants for apartments- some of them work just as well outside as inside your home.

Create Comfort

• If you want to truly enjoy your balcony as your own little oasis, you definitely need comfy seating.  Add some comfortable, weatherproof seating such as bistro sets or deck chairs. If you have more room, you may be able to decorate your balcony with a table and chairs for outdoor dining. And why not?! Who wouldn’t want to enjoy some delicious food and refreshing drinks on your own private patio?

Add Pops of Color

• Bring your balcony or patio to life with fun accent colors! When choosing your outdoor accessories, look for bright, cheerful colors that will put a smile on your face every time you step outside. If you prefer a more neutral setting to decorate your balcony, try picking one color to highlight through decorative pillows or lights.
