The time spent at home makes you want to go outside so badly. The lucky ones who have a garden can relax after work in their own yard, but those who live in an apartment cannot benefit from this facility. But they can try to arrange a space as close to nature as possible!
Without too much effort, but with a lot of creativity, the balcony can be transformed into an apartment garden! With many green plants and natural materials, any balcony can take on the appearance of a corner of nature. Here's what we suggest you:
1. Decorate your walls and floor
The first step is, obviously, decorating the walls and floor. We recommend you to apply a nature-inspired wallpaper or decorative stone on one of the walls. For the floor, opt for tiles that look like the parquet. You can also use a rustic carpet to harmoniously cover the floor. Here are some options:
Decorative stone – mathaus.ro – 73.41 lei/sqm;
Wallpaper – www.decomuse.ro – price from 89 lei for 100 x 70 cm;
Floor tiles – www.hornbach.ro – 38.86 lei/package;
Carpet – www.vivre.ro – 299 lei.
2. Apartment plants
A corner of nature must have many green plants, of course! You can put them anywhere is suitable for you – on a shelf in a corner of the room, on the windowsill or hanging from the ceiling. If you have an open balcony, opt for more flowerpots positioned on the balustrade. The next items can inspire you:
