There’s nothing better than soaking up the city from your balcony on one of the warmer nights of the year.<\/p>\n

Whether your balcony is open or closed, small or large, you can style it and\/or make it functional.<\/p>\n

Here’s some apartment balcony inspiration to get you started:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beautiful apartment balcony gardens<\/h2>\n

Having some greenery on your balcony\u00a0is good for the soul and looks beautiful. You can get creative by designing an apartment balcony garden that suits you.<\/p>\n

Having vertical gardens, planters that hang on balcony railings, potted plants and mini urban vegetable gardens are some great ways to bring nature into your apartment.<\/p>\n

Airtasker can connect you with fantastic interior design or handyman services<\/a> to help you design your apartment balcony with effortless style. Also, if you’d like to know how much does it cost to clean an apartment, visit our updated apartment cleaning cost guide<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Create some privacy<\/h2>\n

If you can see straight into your neighbour\u2019s flat, they can probably see right into yours too. The addition of a privacy screen can give you a little extra seclusion, especially in built up areas.<\/p>\n

You can purchase privacy screens, or create your own stylish aesthetic by planting bamboo, building up a vertical garden or training crawling jasmine around the edge of your balcony railings.<\/p>\n

Leave a little space so you don’t completely block out the sunshine, or have your screen mobile.<\/p>\n

Designated ‘chill zone’<\/h2>\n

We love the idea of positioning a comfortable little day bed on your balcony so you can relax and unwind in your own dreamy balcony enclave. \u00a0There are some beautifully made weatherproof day beds and outdoor sofa options around.<\/p>\n

Style your ‘chill zone’ with the addition of a little side table or drink holder, some scatter cushions and a soft throw. It’ll be the perfect place to enjoy a good book, or admire the sunset with a glass of wine.<\/p>\n

Laze in a hammock<\/h2>\n

Who can beat a hammock? If it\u2019s not possible to be strung between two coconut palms on a tropical island, then why not on your balcony?<\/p>\n

If you really wanted the whole resort style, you could have a little wading pool on your balcony too for hotter days.<\/p>\n

Create an entertainer\u2019s nook<\/h2>\n

All you need to create the ultimate entertainer\u2019s nook is a drinks cart, along with a little mountable bench or table for nibbles, and some fun lighting.<\/p>\n

Invite your guests to take a seat on your carefully chosen outdoor chairs, or scatter some cushions around so they can lean back against the wall. If you\u2019ve got the space, a small BBQ will\u00a0fit right in too!<\/p>\n

Bring the garden to the balcony<\/h2>\n

Have you got a cement slab balcony on the second floor?\u00a0 You could liven it up by creating a \u2018patio\u2019 with some temporary wooden flooring, or by laying down some faux grass.<\/p>\n
