In this article, I’m sharing some of my favourite green balcony ideas to inspire you, and help you create the perfect little outdoor room for yourself.
Urban Meets Natural
When you’re surrounded by gray buildings in metropolitan areas, stepping out onto a balcony that is just bursting with green feels so refreshing! I love this.
The more plants you pile on, the bigger the contrast you get against that city backdrop.
