Spice up your balcony

A balcony is a versatile area that we often forget to make good use of. The space that can actually enhance the charm of your home is mostly treated as a storage room. A balcony is necessary as it enlarges the living space and gives access to fresh air every day. It can be used as an area to relax and read or maybe play games. There are plenty of makeovers that you can give to your dreary old balconies and create a snug corner for your family.

If you don’t have a balcony, then check the premium 3BHK residential flats for sale at Aura Gazania and move into an apartment that has luxurious and spacious balconies. The benefits of having a balcony in your apartment are many. Some of the reasons a balcony is a good accessory is that it can be used as:

1. An Extra Space

The main advantage of having a balcony is that it is an extended living space that you can transform into anything. In a usually stuffy apartment, balconies bring in the fresh air and improve the quality of living. It also makes your home more attractive.

You can put up lounge chairs, recliners or hang up a hammock and make this space your relaxing zone. If you have pets you can always put up a dog/cat bed and keep a wooden shelf with all the toys of your four-legged member. The physically active ones can keep all their gym paraphernalia on the balcony and exercise in the fresh air, looking out at the view.

2. A Green Area

There is nothing better than fresh plants to liven up your apartment. You can either hang some potted plants or align some seasonal flowers up against the railing. Choose the ones that speak to you the most because plants reflect our personality. You can even grow a small garden oasis by planting some organic herbs like parsley, oregano, basil, etc. With a green balcony, your mornings are sure to be fresh, colourful and rejuvenating.

3. A Socializing Area

Your balcony can also be your favourite socializing spot. It’s outdoors and has a nice view. You can decorate it with string lights, candles, flowers etc., place a big couch on one side and maybe a loveseat on the other with a thick rug in the middle. Your balcony cocktail parties will be sophisticated and memorable. Even your noon brunches will be outdoorsy and distinctive here.

4. A play zone

Are your kids running around the house and throwing their toys everywhere? Give them a dedicated play area on the balcony. Keep a cabinet full of their toys and surround it with colourful chairs. They’ll be delighted to have a room of their own.

Or you can also make it an adults’ games room. On one side you can stock the wall with drinks, make a small bar counter and place some bar stools. On the other side, you can place a foosball table, chessboard, jenga, puzzles, etc. You can even keep a foldable table on one side for when you want to play beer pong.

5. A Study

A cosy reading corner at home should be on everyone’s list. Turn your balcony into a study with shelves full of books, a table and a chair for work and a bean bag or a couch for relaxing. Some plants in the corner can always make the space more lively.
