Make the most out of a small balcony space by transforming it into a cozy sanctuary with these breathtakingly beautiful balcony ideas and decor inspirations!

Balcony Ideas Post

Having an apartment with a balcony is honestly a dream (if you live in an apartment building of course). It sometimes feels almost magical step out onto a balcony with a steaming mug of coffee or even a glass of wine to just breathe. 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!

13 Breathtaking Balcony Ideas To Turn Your Space Into a Cozy Sanctuary. . .

1. Cozy Boho Balcony with Plants

If you can, why not turn your balcony into a nice little bohemian sanctuary? You clearly do not need much to make a space feel cozy and put together. Plus make your space a little more extra private with some light and flowy curtains. Oh and fairy lights are always a nice little extra touch to make an outdoor space feel magical. . .

Bring a little bit of nature into your space by bringing in the perfect assortment of plants to hang up and strewn all over your balcony. Plants always liven up a place and give it some much needed vibrancy. Plus adding some green touches with the furniture (like the green pillows and plates!) is just the perfect accent to the plants!

    All of these look SO COZY and amazing. The only reason I don’t have a balcony that’s set up is because of frequent rains here which would ruin everything haha. Otherwise balconies like these would be a must.
