8 Ways To Transform Your Balcony

Balconies are so fun. They bring the outdoors in. If you live in a condo, the space can add great value. I have a friend who says “you have to see my resting balcony face, I am in my happy place there.” In order to make your balcony sing, you can try some of the following ideas:

1. Use Fabric On The Ground
Hang fabric or material on the concrete wall to create a warm, artsy space. You can also use fabric to create a canopy overhead to block or filter out sunlight on an open balcony.

2. Add Some Greenery
Display a series of plants in small containers attached to the wall. Plants could also be put on a small standing ladder, in a toolbox or on a small shelf attached to side of the balcony.

3. Outdoor Lighting
Hang string lights or paper lanterns so you can enjoy your outdoor space at nighttime, and to create a nice ambiance.

4. Chairs
Choose chairs that fit the space but feel comfortable. If there isn’t a lot of room on your balcony, try finding pieces that can fold or come apart easily and be tucked away when not in use.

5. Tables
A small table could have a stone or ceramic top to create a more modern, upscale feel.

6. Furniture Textiles
Use small furniture and go big with pillows and texture to keep the space feeling cozy and welcoming.

7. Balcony Flooring
Update the floors of your balcony with an outdoor rug to add a luxury feel. You can also use small decking tiles to create unique patterns and cover up that concrete.

8. Accent Pieces
Use accent pieces like candles, patterned stools or small coloured planters for finishing touches to really make the space come to life.

Make outdoor space your own and incorporate your style. You save some money by picking things up at garage sales or second hand stores. Explore your creative side with some DIY options like making a table out of a wood carton or a large planter. There are lots of ideas to explore. What are some of yours?
