Balcony Garden Ideas to Create a Unique Outdoor Space

Think Beyond the Tiles

When you are designing a balcony garden in a small space, skip the tiles. Instead, consider adding a simple floor with a decorative rug.

You can also get creative and add an artificial green carpet or turf rug to imitate the look of a lush lawn.

If artificial turf isn’t your style, you can also apply wooden tiles for a natural look.

On one hand, artificial turf provides the illusion of a vivacious green lawn. On the other hand, there is something to be said about the rustic element of natural wood.

Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference.

Potted Plants and Flowers

Rather than placing large pots in every square inch of floor, the design experts at Milestone suggest creating a display of various potted plants in one small area.

Don’t be afraid to get creative and experiment with different size pots and various heights to add dimension.

You can even refurbish household items such as watering cans or decorative vases for an original take on the traditional pot.

Hanging Baskets are a Must for Balcony Gardens

When it comes to balcony gardens, hanging baskets are a great way to add a wide variety of plants while saving space.

Wonderfully-designed hanging baskets allow you to add plants at higher levels. Not only do they look amazing but they also lend the illusion of more space.

Hanging baskets are simple, yet they create a striking impact without consuming all of your balcony garden space.

They offer a great alternative to add texture and colour to your balcony garden while maximising your space.

Not to mention, several herbs, vegetables, and flowers thrive in hanging pots.

Just be sure to hang your plants at a height that makes them easy to water and maintain.

And don’t forget your terrace railings. Consider installing hanging flower boxes on the outside of your balcony railings to create more space for lush plants.
