A beautiful balcony is your personal therapist on demand; sitting there for a while can heal your soul and fill you with overflowing positivity. To create an exclusive balcony, you need not construct it again or modify it. Instead, thoughtfully accessorize it and create a beautiful outdoor space attached to your indoors. Accessorizing your balcony would be a great idea!
Why accessories?
Using accessories for this purpose is organic and lets you start small and build up from there. After giving it an honest try, you can try something new if you don’t like an accessory.
“Sweet, but which accessories should I use?” That’s what we will tell you elaborately here.
Here are ten must-have accessories for the balcony which can change its look. These ideas are ideal for:
These are very easy to install. Slot them onto your balcony rail, and presto! You’ve installed it without using nails and hammers! Railing planters are small, and cute and come in many bright colors. They’re made of high-quality polypropylene, which gives them stellar protection against sunlight and extreme weather conditions! If your balcony railing is not that long, you can use just one of two of them.
These glass tealight holders with brightly-colored flexible silicone ties, will light up your balcony and mood. You can even get one in bright yellow! You can use the ties to fasten the holder to the balcony railings and similar surfaces. Just put a candle inside and enjoy a relaxing evening on your balcony!
It may not always be easy to install something on the wall, especially if they aren’t permanent. But don’t worry! We have the perfect solution. Enter wall units, like this adaptable and stylish balcony wall. Use these to hold anything from plant holders to small folding tables. That’s smart storage, especially for small spaces.
Don’t cram a limited space. Instead, use pieces that save space. For instance, you can use something as simple as an ottoman. To make it cozier, add a sheepskin throw over it and potted plants nearby to complete a welcoming and relaxed space look.
Love plants but are concerned about having a small balcony? Vertical planters are a great alternative for creating a perfect vertical garden in a tiny balcony. Vertical planters can be your new DIY project and all you need is a wooden pallet. Or you can buy them online!
If you’re indeed taking the DIY path, here’s what you need to do:
These work for all shapes and sizes of balconies. Made from materials like polypropylene, these are long-lasting and durable. Hang these elegant pots from the wall, and plant fresh herbs for your kitchen. Hanging wall planters look gorgeous, especially with string lights.
Like vertical planters, you can also make bamboo trellis on your own. Or you can buy these online to save labor and time. If it’s a DIY project, tie several bamboo pieces together to make a tuteur or obelisk. And you’re ready! Plants like black-eyed Susan and morning glories will look beautiful on the bamboo trellis.
If you have a spacious veranda, you can use it just like another living space. After installing an armchair, a couch, a small table, say a coffee table, throw blankets and mood-lighting candles. These elements can transform your balcony into a fresh area! For outdoor-use fabric, we recommend using polypropylene and it dries up fast and leaves no streaks. Also, consider using heavy-duty outdoor rugs to enhance the elegance of the space further.
Sometimes, using it for one function doesn’t do justice to the space. You can create a multi-use balcony by sectioning out areas. For instance, you can have a separate eating area and lounge. It could be a cozy reading corner or a painting area. Anything you wish! It’s your balcony.
Consider transforming your large balcony into a camp. If you get a panoramic view up there, then why not? You can have a desirable camp with a tiny tent with chain lights or small lantern-like lights for that rustic feel just outside your living area!
So there you have it: 10 accessories you can use to glam up your balcony. As you have seen, some of these are DIY, while others you can buy. Some of these can be used regardless of whether you have small spaces or a large balcony, while others need a specific size.
