How To Make The Most Of A Balcony
A balcony is more than just a patch of outside space – with a little care, it can be a romantic idyll.
Juliet famously called to Romeo from hers thus, in our minds forever sealing the balcony’s image as more than a mere strip of outdoor space. When cared well for, a balcony can be wholly romantic; picture it thronged with terracotta pots, its railings intertwined with grape vines, and the whole tableau sheltered by a pretty canopy. Then add a neat set of table and chairs, a soft wall light or festoon bulbs and an evening sundowner, and it becomes far more than just a spot to breathe in a gulp of fresh air. Easier to care for than a whole garden, it need be no less well-tended or enjoyed. These pieces are all perfect for a diminutive but dreamy space.
