Balcony Decor Ideas: simple and practical ones
The broader the balcony , the
more beautification of the same can be done. But the problem comes when a balcony is small and narrow.
Idea 1:
Cover the railing of
the balcony with bamboo painted in green, ivory, brown or any of your favorite
colors. Some people like to keep them in their original brown color but again
the maintenance will increase in that case as the raw bamboo is susceptible to
algae growth with rain and dust .Also, painted bamboo can be easily cleaned
with a splash of water.
Green color looks
soothing but makes that area bit darker so choose the color while keeping in view of your requirements.
Some people grow
creepers and climbers on these which gives a very soothing effect or greener
view outside the windows but at the same time it increases mosquitoes, lizards
etc in that area so be cautious.
Planting colorful
flowers in long planters give a very regular vivacious look from the windows.
Hedges give a very simple, easy to maintain and a smart look to your balcony and they can be trimmed easily with scissors to get desired shapes. These plants should be grown in long planters and should maintain atleast 5cms of
distance from the wall to avoid the lizards nestlings. One more thing that
should be followed is to keep plants on an iron rod structure so that the dust,
water etc can be easily cleared beneath the planters.
Idea 2:
The other simple ways
to decor the balconies and to provide shade to the plants grown in
balcony, are the wooden chics. These chics are easily available in local
markets and can be tailor made as per your requirements. Besides giving shade
to the plants, these keep your room temperature a few degrees below outside
temperature and also help in filtering the dust coming in rooms and over plants.
The plants kept in balcony should be similar as like us, plants also flourish more in groups.
To have a complete
view of your plants, chic, bamboo etc the window with many sections of glasses
should be converted to a regular simple plain glass and then without any hindrance
you can have a green garden view while sitting in your living room. A complete
glass in multistory is always a better option specially in countries or areas where people are always worried about dusting work.
Idea 3:
Placing a closet at one wall with some open
selves where plants can be kept is a very simple clean look for a balcony and
can be enhanced more by placing a chic or stylish rug at floor.

If the balcony is small and round in shape then the white marble stones shown in the adjacent image can be assembled in an elevated cemented or marble finish groove along the wall and it really looks elegant. This design can also be implemented in square or rectangular balconies.
