Nowadays,
buildings have taken over the city and even though many of them have a common
garden, we all like spending some time in a natural environment on our own, and
rest.
For this
reason, whether you have a big balcony or a small one, it is always nice to
decorate it with plants and small elements that make your balcony look nice and
you enjoy being there and spending your summer/spring afternoons.
Firstly, an
idea to decorate a balcony is to do it with the plants and colors you like.
Before start filling your balcony, you should think about the color you would
like to have in it; which pots you want to use for the plants; the types of
flower you like; etc. Moreover, you should bear in mind that most plants are seasonal,
which means that you will not have them all year long. For this reason, you
should consider having some perennial plants (which will be green all year
long).
Those who
have space on the wall of their balcony might be interested in putting a creeper
plant, like the jasmine or the bougainvillea. Those who don’t have a wall on
their balcony may put a plant that hangs from their balconies, to make it look
bigger.
Those who
enjoy having a minimalistic décor, or don't have much room and would like to
keep it simple, may buy mini cactus or bonsai plants. This would add life to
your balcony, it will look nice and it will let you move around it. You may
also have space for a small table and a chair if you'd like.
If you want
flowers and plants in your balcony but you don't have much space, you might
consider putting your pots vertically. You may do this by hanging pots on the
wall, or hanging them in the balcony rails. Nowadays there are also some metal
structures (like bars), where you can hang your pots, so they don't take up too
much space from your balcony, and still you have flowers and plants that give
life to it.
There are
thousands of ways and ideas to decorate your balcony with plants, it is a
matter of choosing which plants you like, the pots you want, and just filling
your balcony with plants and flowers. This way, your balcony will be full of
life and color, and you may have a new place to relax and rest around the
“wild” in the middle of the city.
