Fun Balcony Makeover Ideas

Revamping your balcony this summer is a great DIY project and can even help you create a perfect zen space to relax in during social distancing times. 

Making a balcony transformation doesn’t have to be tricky — anything some simple touches like plants, pillows, new furniture or even a touch of paint can freshen up your balcony’s look and turn it into a cozy space for you and your family to enjoy. 

Even if your balcony is on the smaller side, spice up its style to create unique space for you — a personal oasis. Read more for easy tips on how to give your balcony a makeover this summer.

Jungle Balcony 

If you are someone that has a green thumb, add some greenery to your balcony to show off your collection of plants. Create a jungle vibe by placing pots and planters with tropical plants around the space. If you’re short on pots, you can also use planter boxes, which can be hung from a wall for a look that’s more edgy. 

Colorful Balcony 

To brighten up your balcony, paint one of your walls a bright color if it’s okay with the landlord. If you can’t, add color by tossing in some throw pillows with your furniture — this is a quick way to mix things up. Or if you have space, hang up some fun wall art or some flowers for a fun pop of color!

Starry Night Balcony 

Make your balcony brighter with lights. You can do this by installing sconces or hanging pendant lights — this is the perfect way to lighten up your space any time of the day. You can even hang up some string lights around your ceiling or balcony railing. Dainty fairy lights are also great for setting the mood and creating a cozy atmosphere.

Social Balcony 

Are you a person who loves to entertain? If so, make your balcony a place to hangout with your favorite guests. Creating a space for this is perfect for those coffee hangouts and happy hours. You can treat this space like a living room by making sure there’s plenty of seating. Incorporate a small couch, floor cushions, or even poofs! Get even more unique and make a DIY bar so you can enjoy some cocktails in style. 

Minimalist Balcony 

If you’re really short in space, create a stylish minimalist balcony with some space-saving furniture and accessories.  

For example, you can get some folding tables  — these are great when it comes to saving space since they can easily be put away if necessary. Create a sophisticated European vibe with some petite yet stylish bistro tables. Free up even more floor space by hanging up plants instead of keeping them in pots on the ground. Keep things easy and stick with neutral colors to convey a minimalist style. 

Boho Chic Balcony 

Add some chic style to your balcony by playing with different textures and patterns. Achieve this look with rugs — don’t be afraid to layer these up. Having them layered up creates great texture to the space and ties in the boho feel. Feel free to also add in some accessories like macrame wall art or even some geometrical patterned floor tiles. 

Following these tips will easily help you give your balcony the perfect makeover. That way, you can relax and enjoy a little slice of heaven in the comfort of your own home!
