Easy DIY Balcony Transformation Ideas

In urban metropolises where people mostly live in high rises and do not have access to lawns or gardens, the balcony serves as the much needed open space where people like to enjoy the natural elements. Moreover, nowadays with people trying to get closer to nature, the often neglected balcony has risen to great importance as people are often seen decorating it beautifully so they can spend some time comfortably gazing at the world around them. Here we shall look into a few interesting and easy DIY ideas to transform the balcony into a cool hangout zone.

Access to the Balcony: This is the first element that you need to look into so you can ensure that the balcony seamlessly merges with the rest of your living space and does not look like a segregated spot. You should thus choose from balcony door designs that allow an open uninterrupted view of the space when opened. You can either go for uPVC or aluminium doors for the balcony as these do not lose their structural integrity or colour and texture due to prolonged exposure to the natural elements and will not spoil the look of the place.

The Balcony Floor: This is another aspect of the balcony that needs to be designed with a lot of care. The floor should be such that it can withstand the vagaries of nature and still look beautiful. Using artificial grass carpets for the balcony floor is in vogue nowadays as while they look lovely they can also withstand exposure to rain and sunlight. Many people also prefer using PVC floors as they are not only good looking but are also resistant to the elements.

The Furniture: Ideally this would depend on the space available as well as the exposure to the natural elements. You can ideally use furniture made of recycled materials like tyres, wood pallets as well as plastic here. Bean bags, jute stools, rocking chairs as well as swings are ideally considered best for the balconies.

Along with these elements, if you can add potted plants in well-arranged wall hooks or put up hanging planters with beautiful flowering plants in them on the railings, your balcony will be transformed into a different space altogether.
