Green spaces are a desire of our days. Regardless of the type of dwelling, we all want to spend as much time as possible closer to nature or at least in an open space. That's why balconies, terraces, or courtyards exist, which can be arranged in various ways so that we can feel the touch of nature even in the space of our own home.
But what do we do in the case of a dwelling without a balcony, terrace, or any other exit to the outside? There are solutions that can compensate for the lack of such an area and we will detail them below.
Open the Gallery Windows play an important role when the balcony is missing, as they are the connection to the outside, to nature. In this context, they can be valued so that the absence of the balcony is not felt. Remove the curtains or drapes that could block natural light from entering the room.
Replace them with transparent or semi-transparent ones in light, pale, or even white shades. During the day you can keep them closed so that the room is as bright as possible.
Then bring as many pots with plants as possible to decorate the window area. When you look outside, your gaze will rest on the newly created mini-garden. Arrange the windowsill with flower boxes with colorful flowers to cheer up the atmosphere.
If you think of a balcony as a relaxation space where you can read on pleasant summer evenings, it's good to know that you can implement this idea even inside the room. A comfortable armchair or armchair placed in front of the window, a floor lamp, surrounded by plants, here's how you can recreate the perfect reading spot.
In case the space under the window is generous, take advantage of it as it can offer you solutions for furnishing that you probably haven't thought of. Improvising a mini sofa or sofa with built-in storage space will give you a more organized room. With the perfect table, it can be the ideal place for an afternoon snack.
If there is no possibility to remove the radiator (which in many apartments is on the outer wall), choose to integrate it into this new decor. Use a radiator cover and a longer, wider windowsill that will allow you to place more decorative accessories and plants.
Alia, the specialist from Val Decorne, proposes an arrangement option for a space without a balcony: I like to think of the balcony as a place connected to the urban environment, to the city, and in its absence, I bring the city into the house by introducing urban finishes.
You can make a small wall inside the living room, clad in pink or white brick and then decorated with trailing or climbing plants, creating a support for them to climb on. This way we will have a green corner, with many pots and outdoor plants that will give the impression that they are actually outside.
