Balconies are usually one of the most overlooked features when it comes to designing and furnishing an apartment. Do not let the space limitations deter you from creating a personalised and stylish space for you and your loved ones. Check out these four refreshing ideas that’s sure to break the stereotype of boring balconies.
1. Chill out corner
Consider turning your little outdoor space into an area for adults and children to relax in. Adding kid-friendly furniture and items will keep the children occupied whereas a comfy lounge chair or two will cater to any adults who may want to supervise. Adding a contrasting flooring for your balcony such as artificial grass isn’t always necessary but it creates a healthy contrast from the rest of your home and creates a space meant only for leisure.

2. Petite garden
A dose of healthy greenery is not only easy on the eyes but can also create a fresh outlook for your home. Spruce up your balcony with various types of flora, no matter artificial or real. Garden balconies are the perfect place to partake in activities like yoga, or simply unwind after a long day of work without the hassle of leaving the house.
