Where there is a will, there is a balcony of possibilities.

They say consider yourself lucky if you have a roof over your head. And consider yourself even luckier if that roof has a balcony too! A balcony is a phenomenal amenity and, nowadays, a luxury for apartment dwellers. If you’re the lucky one who has a balcony at home, then you owe it to yourself, your family, your friends and all those who come over to visit your house to do justice and make the most of it.
No matter how big or small your balcony is, don’t just be a buzzkill by putting on a chair or two and getting done with it. A balcony is that corner of the house that brings you closer to yourself, that place where you chat with your friends over a call, look out and go into infinite ponder and sometimes just stare calmly outside.
So why not make this space the most memorable space of your house? Here are some ideas to spruce up your balconies.
Plan Your Layout
Say a Lot with Less.
Once you decide to redo the balcony, what you need to do first is to imagine what you would want your balcony to look like? This is the step where you will need your electronic devices, internet and Pinterest to help you out.
Doing thorough research, browsing through various balcony inspiration ideas that float on the internet and also building a roadmap in mind of how you want your balconies to look aesthetically will chalk the rest of the way out easily for you. Then what is left is to put those ideas into execution, which will make lives so much simpler.

Amp Up The Flooring
We may or may not have known this, but switching up the balcony flooring can be a game changer and bring that missing life back to the balcony almost instantly. Many flooring options are available in the market today, from marble to faux grass to wood to carpet and whatnot! Depending on what works for you best in terms of functionality and maintenance, you can choose to make the most suitable choice for your balconies.

Let There Be Light
When it comes to balconies, we somehow let the lighting part be compromised and make do with LED bulbs. Whilst it may serve the purpose, it may not do enough justice to enhance the aesthetic of a balcony.
Fancying the balconies up with beautiful wall lamps or then just hanging up a few lighting chains that will make your balconies twinkle and add that gorgeous charm to the balconies. Lighting will redefine the ambience and functionality of the balconies. Again, there are a plethora of options available in the market, categorically for balconies as well, in both wall mounted and hanging options, that will work the magic.
Plants give us oxygen for our bodies and life for our souls. Plants on your balconies will bring a sense of tranquility and add color and character, making them a cozy and comforting spot for everyone to relax and simmer down. Balconies being an outdoor space makes it a perfect spot for the plants to blossom and bloom.

Mural Mural On The Wall
Another fabulous idea you can consider is to tile a mural on the balcony wall. With homes that have a contemporary and elegant aesthetic, a balcony is that one spot where you can let your creative energies flow. Tiling colourful murals will make the balconies look more attractive and will be a refreshing change to have to make the balconies look unusual yet striking.
Less Is More
There is no denying that the balconies are compact compared to the other rooms in a house. That is why it becomes crucial to be mindful of what kind of furniture you want on your balconies.
More often than not, we make our balconies a place to keep our clothes rack or stack up our extra chairs. This just wholly devastates the beauty and the actual purpose of the balcony. A balcony is supposed to be that corner of your house where you unwind. Instead, it ends up becoming an open storeroom.
So even when you are planning to give it a facelift, ensure that there is minimal furniture and other accents to have enough space to move around. This will also make your balcony appear more spacious. You can opt for a swing or a decently sized coffee table with two or three chairs for a clean look.
Embrace the beauty of nature by opting for chic furniture in shades of beige with orange pots.
