18 Green and Pleasant Balconies
From a few pots of cheery flowers to a row of shrubs, it’s easy to bring leafy seclusion to your little outside space
Having a spot outdoors to enjoy a morning coffee or watch the sun go down makes all the difference to our wellbeing, and even a tiny balcony can fulfil that role, especially as, positioned up high, most feel somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle.
To take yours a step further and give it a restful, garden feel, try bringing in some greenery. As long as your structure can take the weight (and it’s wise to check), there are numerous ways to do this, from planters designed to slot onto the balustrade, to a collection of small pots, to large troughs enclosing the seating area – and even, as the final photo in this selection shows, a climber grown from below.
Is there an idea here that could work for your balcony? Share your thoughts and photos in the Comments – and don’t forget to save the most inspiring images to an ideabook.
