Balcony space is probably one of the most underutilized spaces of most apartments. Make your balcony a fun and lively hangout place to relax, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors from the comfort of your Arlington, VA apartment. This Randolph Towers Blog is featuring some great ideas to bring your balcony to life and make it a fun place to hang out.
Start a Garden
Your patio or balcony is a great place for you to start a mini garden if you want to extend the beauty of the outdoors into your living space, or if you simply want to grow some produce for your cooking. Try these heat-loving container-garden plants for something fit for the outdoors and a variety of weather and sun conditions.
Add Furniture
Your patio or balcony is there for you to enjoy, so as you’re decorating it, make seating a priority. It doesn’t have to be full of furniture if you don’t think you’ll use it, of course. But stock it with a cozy chair or two — or a bench — so you can enjoy the beauty of Virginia without feeling crowded with furniture or other decorations. Even a bold statement piece can do a lot to create a friendly space you’ll love relaxing in.
Hang Wall Decor
The blank space of your patio wall could be a great space to display items you wouldn’t necessarily hang inside, like a kite collection to add a splash of color, your favorite fishing rod and net, a string of lights, or colorful tapestries. The way you incorporate these and other items into your balcony can really make it feel like a home (just steps) away from home, so jot down your ideas and see what you can do!
