Creating a private outdoor oasis should be the goal of any Oceanside apartment dweller who is lucky enough to have a patio or balcony. Balconies are typically underused spaces that offer the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful California weather year-round. The following decorating ideas will elevate the look of your apartment’s balcony.
Focus on Seating
Comfortable seating should be your key focus when decorating a balcony. Fit a small sofa if possible or a bench seat with pillows piled on top. Foldable furniture offers another seating option for compact balconies. Another option is to use wing chairs as a fun and whimsical way to decorate your balcony. Although patio tables and stools may fit on a balcony, this type of seating arrangement won’t make the most out of the space.
Go Green
Add planters throughout your balcony overflowing with lush greenery. The plants not only create a natural beautiful atmosphere but will also fill the air with a clean, fresh scent. Have fun with the planters you choose for the space. Select pieces such as painted pottery galvanized metal planters and freestanding aluminum planters. Hang planters on the walls, set planters on furniture or the floor, and secure planters to railings. Tall plants will give you more privacy when enjoying your balcony.
Personalize the Space
Choose a mixture of textiles to give your balcony a style that reflects your own. Add pillows with geometric designs, a plush throw rug, oversized floor pillows, or decorative blankets. These items help you create a relaxing space you will be in no hurry to leave. Another way to leave your mark is to set candles and decorative bowls on any outdoor tabletops.
Lighting the Way
Lighting is often overlooked when choosing balcony décor. However, lighting adds instant fun and festivity when entertaining guests outdoors during the evening hours. String lights are a low-cost way to add extra light to your balcony and come in a range of shapes and colors. Standing outdoor lamps are another decorating option that can add style and function to the balcony.
