Tips to transform balcony

In today’s apartment community living, we hardly have spaces where we can unwind and relax in the lap of nature. However, the balcony comes to the rescue. It’s the perfect inside-out space where you can embrace nature and personal time. Though most apartments have built-in balcony spaces, there are only a few who use their balcony to its full potential. Atreyee Choudhury, Founder & Principal Interior Architect of De Panache, Bangalore shares a few creative ideas to transform your balcony into a cosy retreat.

5 Tips To Transform Your Balcony

Here are the tips to transform your balcony:

Green Privacy Screen

The green privacy screen is one of the best ways to ensure privacy. You can use natural elements like bamboo to design this privacy screen. This choice not only adds a lush, green element that soothes the eyes but also creates a sense of seclusion in a row house setting. The dramatic day beds and tactile impact of the rugged stone complete the look, providing a warm and inviting vibe.

Vibrant Bougainvillaea

Bougainvillaea is one of the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing flowers that can be easily grown. It offers a stunning visual impact. This vibrant plant serves as a living piece of art, adding a burst of colour that transforms a compact area into a lively retreat. The beauty of bougainvillaea lies in its lesser maintenance and the way it can make a small space feel expansive and full of life.

Serene Water Feature

In an apartment setting, even the smallest balcony can benefit from the soothing presence of a water feature. A small fountain introduces a calming soundscape that can make the space feel more tranquil. This feature is perfect for city apartments where a touch of nature can provide a serene escape from the urban hustle.

Bird-Friendly Garden

Creating a balcony garden that attracts birds and butterflies is another delightful option. Consider incorporating bird feeders and plants that are known to attract local wildlife. By adding a small bird bath or fountain, you can enhance the space’s appeal to feathered friends and enjoy their presence while relaxing on your balcony.
