Gear up for the coming summer to escape the sweat session between the four walls and soak up Vitamin D. Summer doesn’t know the difference between urban and rural areas. But relatively, urban areas bear the brunt of the summer. So, I wish to share the following ideas that can make your summer more refreshing.
Step 1: If your balcony is packed with unwanted things, then it’s time to change. Measure the available area and plan accordingly. From your own analysis, draw a conclusion about what exactly fills the space beautifully.
Step 2: Personalize your space. Fill the space with things you love the most and wish to spend the time with. It also mirrors your personality.
Step 3: Go green. It is advised to associate yourselves with the greenery. So, cover your space with plants that help your lifestyle. If there is enough space, then add value to space by growing vegetables and fruits. It not only saves pocket expenditure but also enriches the space with high levels of oxygen.
Step 4: Patronize the patterned style. Interiors always set a range to flex your creativity. But when it comes to patios or balconies, the sky is the only limit. Choose colorful & contrasting patterns that absorb the sunlight.
Step 5: Configure the furniture. If you are an avid reader, then arrange a small book shelve which can withstand hot conditions. If you just want to enjoy the breeze, then go with a normal seating arrangement. Make sure that the arrangement does not dilute the very purpose. Choose a furniture piece which can be folded and carried easily. It not only saves space but also reduces the weather adversity. Rigid and standard furniture pieces have to cope with bad environmental effects.
Step 6: Don’t relax as there is something more to do. Instead of leaving the furniture bare, spread attractive cloth covers over them. If you are planning to use upholstered furniture, then choose leather upholstery as it is a water-repellent material. The color of the upholstery is one of the determining factors of your balcony.
Above all, it is up to you to decide which best suits to your décor. I have been enjoying in my suspended balcony. It is filled with climbers and vertical plant hangers. I love sipping coffee in the balcony, so I placed a beautiful Glass Coffee Table which also has a storage facility. Let’s live the life to its fullest and experience the things which are closer to you.
