Hyderabad: While most houses today don’t have sprawling yards replete with beautiful flowering plants and swimming pools, they have balconies to enjoy the morning breeze. With the blue skies and bright sunshine making a comeback, this is the perfect time to deck up your balconies for summer.
To start, choose the material you want to furnish your balcony with. As these are long-lasting outdoor investments, you can choose furniture made of resin wicker, wrought iron, teak or plastic, which can handle most of the elements nature throws at them. However, do not opt for furniture with intricate designs, as dust will get trapped in it and cleaning the balcony will be more of a hassle later.
Balconies are usually spaces that double up for other things like drying clothes. So, fitting huge furniture there can be challenging. Consider going for space-saving furniture, such as folding chairs and tables, for this area. If you have enough floor area, you can also add a colourful rug to add some brightness to your balcony.
As the temperature rises, bringing in greenery is a great idea. You can pack your balcony with lush flowering plants, hanging planters or a mini kitchen garden. These plants can breathe new life into your otherwise plain outdoors. Covering the balcony floor with a synthetic grass carpet is another effortless way to add a green touch. Alternatively, you can hang a wooden board against the wall to create a beautiful vertical garden.
To give the place a more cosy look, you can add weatherproof textiles or khus curtains that will protect your privacy as well as keep the place cool during hot summer days. You can also look into hanging lanterns, festive lights or decorative ornaments to give your balcony more character.
