In order to fully enjoy the warming weather, it is possible to turn balconies into wonderful living spaces by making only small changes. It is extremely important to remember that balconies and terraces are no different than any other room in the house, and to decorate these areas that allow for enjoyable time outdoors according to the season for comfort.
According to experts, as in many other spaces, the trick is to decide on the color palette to be used before starting to decorate a balcony or terrace. It is always free to get inspired by the colors that Pantone has announced as trends for the 2024 Spring/Summer season.
Table/Chair
When it comes to balcony decoration, the first thing that comes to mind is tables and chairs that do not take up space and have elegant lines and are usually foldable. In order to avoid situations such as rust, fading or wear, it is important to first look at whether these furniture, which can be found in different materials, are compatible with the outdoors.
If you do not have a sufficiently large balcony/terrace, you can choose space-saving hanging tables.
Lounge Chair/Coffee Table
If there is enough space, lounge chairs and coffee tables can be preferred instead of (or in addition to) table and chair sets. In this way, it is possible to create a comfortable living space for crowded conversations.
Cushion/Cover/Pillow
It is very important to carefully choose cushions and covers for the seating elements to be used on the balcony/terrace. These elements, which are primarily responsible for providing comfort, also help to create a warm and friendly atmosphere in the space.
If there is enough space, comfortable cushions that can be placed on the floor can be the most popular sitting corners on the balcony/terrace.
Rug
Kilims, which are used as a magnificent background in balcony/terrace decorations, are especially frequently preferred lately. They not only ensure that the connection with the interior is not broken, but also help increase the depth in the space with the texture they add to the environment. For these reasons, using kilims, which are often seen spilling over into outdoor spaces, on top of each other with the 'layering' technique and doubling or tripling their visual effect is also among the options.
Umbrella/Awning
If the balcony/terrace gets too much sun, it is necessary to control this problem with an umbrella or awning. An umbrella or awning, which will be positioned in a suitable section and whose style will be chosen according to the conditions of the area, is preferred because it adds both function and 3 dimensions to the balcony/terrace. It also contributes to the decoration with its color and texture.
Herb
The concept of city gardens has been frequently mentioned lately. A wide variety of plant forms, whether draped over walls, suspended from the ceiling, hung from railings or simply placed on the ground, are of great importance in decoration as they strengthen our relationship with nature.
First of all, it is necessary to determine the sections where plants can be placed in the areas left over from the furniture, considering the dimensions of the balcony/terrace. Apart from floor pots, wall panels/shelves, benches, stools and shelving units are quite suitable alternatives for positioning the pots. Placing plants in at least two or three different sections is also the key to creating a visually richer balcony.
Choosing different materials such as wood, concrete, metal or soil instead of a single type of pots is enough for an eclectic and lively space.
If you want to cover up an unpleasant balcony/terrace view, it is possible to achieve this by using plants. By changing the view, the balcony can be turned into a more enjoyable place.
Whether your balcony/terrace gets enough sun is just one of the factors you should consider when choosing the right plants for you. If you have a balcony/terrace that gets a lot of sun, you can choose plants that don't require much water. For areas that don't get enough sun, you can choose large-leafed forest plants.
As long as your space, conditions and season allow, the more different types and sizes of plants you keep on your balcony, the more lively your living space will become.
To make your balcony more enjoyable, don't forget to make room for scented plants. (It is possible to appeal to many senses with lavender, basil and rosemary.)
Decor
With the help of wicker baskets, candles, frames and various objects, balcony/terrace decoration is diversified and a full living space can be provided. It is in your hands to make the balcony pleasure continuous with magazines/books placed in wicker baskets, candles lit in the evenings and frames that enliven the walls.
