7 TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR BALCONY AN OASIS OF WELL-BEING

Spring is just around the corner, the sun is shining and the days are getting longer again. It's time to turn your balcony into a cozy outdoor living room. Below we give you 7 tips on how to turn your balcony into an oasis of well-being.

CREATE YOUR BALCONY BOXES WITH FLOWERS In spring, it's worth taking a short detour to the nursery or the flower department of your supermarket. You'll be surprised how many spring bloomers you'll find there. Violets, carnations, pansies and forget-me-nots are great for filling your empty window boxes.

DECORATE YOUR BALCONY WITH LIGHT

A little decoration should not be missing for a homely atmosphere. In addition to the flowers, fairy lights and lanterns provide a pleasant light in the evening. When buying, remember to choose bulbs with a warm lighting atmosphere, i.e. with a low Kelvin number (warm white). Lanterns also provide a particularly soothing and cozy light. The flickering candlelight in particular has a particularly pleasant effect.

INSTALL A WOODEN FLOOR A beautiful floor makes for more cosiness. Wooden floors in particular can transform the classic concrete floor of the balcony into an oasis of well-being. If you want it quick and easy, choose click tiles. They are particularly easy to lay and can also be easily removed again. This makes them particularly suitable for rented apartments.

TURN YOUR BALCONY INTO A JUNGLE

Did you know that you can also spice up the balcony with your indoor plants? In addition, bamboo, palm trees and citrus plants bring southern and tropical flair to your balcony. The greener the balcony, the more the holiday feeling increases.

CUSHIONS AND UPHOLSTERY FOR EVEN MORE COMFORT

In order for it to be really cozy on your balcony, you absolutely need pillows and cushions. When buying, make sure that the fabrics of the cushions and upholstery are suitable for outdoor use, as normal fabrics fade very quickly in the sun. Pillows and cushions can be stored in storage boxes when not in use to protect them from wind and weather.

DO "URBAN GARDENING" ON YOUR BALCONY, TOO

If you would like to cook with fresh herbs and vegetables from your own garden, you can plant your pots and flower boxes accordingly. Hardy fruit plants such as strawberries or fig trees are also great ornamental and useful plants for the balcony.

USE OLD LIVING ROOM FURNITURE FOR THE BALCONY

Have you been needing space for a new piece of furniture in your living room for a long time? The only question is where to put your old favourite? How about putting out your old coffee table or armchair? You just have to make sure that the piece of furniture survives outside and is not exposed to the rain.
