Let your balcony be your creative corner

With each longer day, the warmer rays of the sun, the cheerful chirping of birds and the smell of intoxicating flowers, living room interiors are increasingly being replaced by terraces and balconies. If you are lucky enough to have a balcony, in the height of the summer season it is worth thinking about turning it into a creative space that will encourage a sense of productivity every day, and at the same time be a perfect oasis for enjoyment and relaxation. And you can find out how to turn yours into such an oasis below.

Details and the most beautiful balcony decorations

They say the power is in the details, so it's no surprise that we start our list with them. It is difficult to imagine a balcony without decorations and textiles, which can give the whole decoration a completely different dimension. Even a fairly small balcony, properly decorated and lit, can completely change its appearance and turn into a creative corner, an oasis of rest, and a wonderful place to gather and socialize. Think about the style in which you want to decorate the balcony and approach it as if it were another room in your home. You can choose decorations in boho, Mediterranean, or tropical styles. Balcony decorations that will best suit a small space are pallets, rugs, reeds, pillows, lanterns, lamps, knitted dream catchers, etc.

Lighting on the balcony and terrace

Candles, light garlands, LED lamps, etc. are indispensable elements of decorating every balcony. Lighting fixtures in the exterior create a warm, pleasant, and fairy-tale atmosphere and take every space out of mediocrity. Creative placement of lighting can significantly affect the final impression, and we suggest placing it along the balcony railing or the wall itself. If you want to put a subtle accent on the flowers, consider buying solar lamps that you will stick in the plant vase.

Don't forget about the plants

Make sure that there is no shortage of plants on the balcony. Not only do they smell nice, but they also give the impression of being close to nature. Arranging flowers has an artistic side. As with painting, you can play with colors and shapes and let your imagination run free. The image of a "green living room" can be simple; if we look at the balcony or terrace as outdoor rooms, we can comfortably arrange them and make the most comfortable room in the home. On them, plants stand out as "living objects." The best thing is that every year we can "paint" and arrange the balcony and terrace anew. If your balcony is smaller, the ideal option would be jars with plants and herbs. Hanging jars can also be a great choice. Don't forget to choose plants that tolerate the sun well.

Furniture choice

The key element of every balcony is comfortable and functional furniture. Consider folding and lightweight furniture that can be easily moved or stored. If your balcony is smaller, you can always use cushions for sitting on the floor and a table. With a soft carpet as an accessory, your balcony will look fantastic.

Gain privacy

Simple and very light curtains hanging from the bars will give you privacy on the terrace. There will be a vertical visual screen that can also protect you from the sun. Besides, the effect of the curtain blowing in the wind is relaxing. Another very simple and, at the same time, economical option for achieving more privacy is cane or bamboo twigs. They are fixed to the existing fence with laces and achieve their goal of protection and an additional aesthetic result.

Create a flexible office space or corner for reading and writing

If you have the possibility to work from home, you may need to jump out of the routine of your home office and think about adding office details and inspiring elements that will allow you to enjoy your working hours and be maximally productive. Fresh air and natural light will surely improve your efficiency, concentration, and mood. Feel free to place creative resources such as books and magazines within easy reach and turn the balcony into a perfect and efficient retreat.

The desire to stay in a natural environment comes from the primordial connection of man with nature; the beauty of nature calms, energizes, and evokes positive emotions. To make your terrace or balcony shine in the right summer combination, no design skills are really needed. The most important thing is that you feel good in that space and choose details that you like, which will contribute to a more pleasant and productive atmosphere. It's time to dress your balcony in a new outfit and enjoy the coming days.
