In the present day, a balcony is an opportunity to become close to nature. A garden on the balcony has the potential to offer a soothing experience for your mind and soul. The green in the space helps you escape the mad rush of today’s environment and spend time in nature’s lap without stepping out of your house. Therefore, transforming your balcony into a luxurious garden should be your next DIY project to turn your home into your dream space.

How to transform the balcony garden?

a few tips:
The first step to having a beautiful balcony garden is to open up the space a bit. You can do this by using clear glass that allows you to look into your balcony while sitting inside your home. Ensure the furniture faces outwards so you can feel the aesthetic green aura of your balcony every time you’re using the space inside.

To add green to your balcony garden, choose to experiment. Don’t stick to similar kinds of plants or pots. Try some wall-hanging pots, some pots placed on beautiful stands, and some floor pots. Things like bamboo chairs and a table placed in the corner of your balcony allow you to sit and enjoy the outside view with a cup of tea every morning.

The most important thing to consider while working on beautifying your balcony garden is the drain and the slope of the balcony flooring. It must be towards the floor trap, or else water clogging can occur.

Potted plants instead of creating a soil bed on your balcony as potted plants offer more versatility. The plants can be moved easily and you can also change the layout of the space easily. With that being said, pay extra attention to the number of plants because you need enough so your balcony becomes a balcony garden. Too few and your balcony would simply have a few plants for ornamental decoration. For a garden, you need a lot of plants for sure.

When trying to beautify your balcony garden, pay attention to the colour pallet. It must be inspired by the natural surroundings. Brighter and vivid shades are essential. You can also pick some earthen-coloured tiles for a complete look. The balcony furniture could be in vivid shades like bright orange that give a hint of outside shades like that of a sun. You can also experiment with ocean blue colour for a soothing feel. For flooring, you can try Kota stone or terracotta tiles.

More than everything else, focus on furnishing your balcony with natural materials. Wicker, Rattan, teak, bamboo - just keep it natural. Try to be minimal with furnishing and focus on the greenery and the outside vibe. Avoid excessive wall designing or any modern materials like SS or CNC cut to achieve a natural balcony garden.

Remember, the goal is to bring the outside within your home area so every time you need a break and need nature’s soothing aura to boost your creativity or calm you down, all you have to do is step into your balcony. Work on this with this goal and you will have a beautiful balcony garden ready for you!
