Having an apartment with a balcony is honestly a dream (if you live in an apartment building of course).

It doesn’t matter if your balcony is on the bottom floor facing some brick wall or up top with a glorious view, its a space that has so much magic and potential.
To be honest every time I walk outside of my apartment building and see people using their balconies as an extra storage dumping area, it breaks my heart! Obviously I’m not one to tell people how to use their spaces but I swear if you have a balcony and you see these balcony ideas, you’ll gasp! There is so much potential to make that space cozy and actually somewhere you can spend a lot of time relaxing!
