balconySpace is a precious thing in urban households. With the pace of population that is flocking to cities, it is hard to get a house that has abundance of space unless you have deep pockets. Many people with houses in urban areas complain of having small outdoor area. But then you can’t really increase the space at your will but you can always make it look wonderful and beautiful. And mind it; it is not expensive at all. Turning your small balcony into a beautiful place is quite economical and all that you require is few lamps and some plants. Having bare balconies is a crime as far as decoration is concerned. You can always make it look spectacular only if you desire and put into a small effort.

Start with the door. Change your wooden door to glass door leading into the balcony. The advantage of using this method is that it helps in generating illusion of space and at the same time you don’t really have to enclose the space. Small balconies are not a curse if used in a proper way. Now that you have installed the glass balcony, focus on decorating the balcony. Check if your balcony gives you a good overview. If not mostly because in large cities it is not really possible for everyone to have a nice view from a small balcony because of congestion. Try hanging plants over the entire length of the balcony in little round pots. Make sure all these pots are kept at equidistance from each other. Hanging plants offers you twin benefits. First, it conceals the bad view and secondly it gives the illusion of more space. Point to be noted here is if the view is totally unacceptable then try using taller plants. That will help in concealing the view completely.  Alternatively you can also use shining brass sculpture and one or two well placed lamps.
