9 Picture-Perfect Balcony Gardens

 Balcony gardens are like small wonderlands inside space-crunched city apartments. These are ideal spots for entertaining, gardening or for simply creating an outdoorsy feel for the home. If you are looking for ideas for a balcony garden


1. A pretty, candy-hued space, this. I like how the two bright colours of the furniture and the plants wonderfully contrast with each other, creating a striking visual.


2. The floor cushions, cascading plants, bright furniture pieces and warm wooden flooring make this narrow balcony garden a cosy sanctuary.



3. It must be pure joy just watching the bustling city below while lounging in this retreat in the sky. The selection of modern chairs, figurines on the wall and the bright green patch of grass and plants paint a tranquil picture. It’s an achievable, affordable idea for designing a balcony garden.


4. The good thing about balcony gardens is that they allow you to surround yourself with nature and it also gives you the chance to grow your own herbs, as in this image. I like how the corner here is so well-organised with crates and hanging plants, all dedicated to cultivating a flourishing scape. 


5. Now who wouldn’t like to savour a nice long drink in the company of nature? This is why this indoor-outdoor space accommodates a bar and a lush vertical garden. This idea for a balcony garden has my vote.


6. Plenty of foliage with creepers, grass and plants, the wooden decking and the matching smart built-in benches create a fresh, crisp look.


7. Flowering plants accessorise this balcony garden and add a cheerful splash of zingy colour. Plus, the white cane jhoola (swing) ensures this space offers relaxation. Just perfect!


8. Every inch of space is utilised here, thanks to an unobtrusive built-in bench and boundary wall running along the length of the balcony. It’s perfect for wrapping the entire area with greenery, while seating plenty of guests or even for stretching out for an afternoon nap.


9. If you can’t stop looking at how neatly the vines on the wall have been trained up the wall, you’re not alone – I too, am hooked. The tall plants and grass create a manicured, cosy setting for the sitout in this balcony.
