Balconies are often the link between the private interiors and the outside world. Renovations usually involve railings, flooring and seating but flowers can turn balconies into living additions to the home. They bring up nature, soften hard architectural lines, and create pockets of beauty where people can breathe, relax and dream.
Imagine a recently re-modified balcony which has smooth tiles and contemporary furniture. To it hang baskets of petunias, or trailing ivy of little blossoms, or red geraniums by the rail. The space immediately becomes transformed from utilitarian to magical. Flowers bring colours and fragrance to the balcony so that it does not remain just a corner in the open air but a retreat. Even small urban balconies are enhanced by pots of marigolds or lavender, as these small spaces are turned into private gardens.
Flowers are also used to personalize balconies. For families they become a joint project - tending to blooms is something that a family does together, and there is bonding to be had. For individuals, there are flowers that are specific for each personality; those who are extroverted spirits are extreme sunflowers, while minimalists are delicate orchids. In hotels and restaurants, flowered balconies add to the curb appeal and make the renoations noticeable even from the street.
Conclusion / Area of Thought: The structure of a balcony is defined by renovations yet its atmosphere is defined by flowers. They stretch the living areas into nature and provide beauty that is at once individual and universal. When making a design or modernizing a balcony, you need to think about it: want it to be a simple place to come out of the house, or an airy garden? Flowers make the choice very pretty clear.
