How To Decorate An Apartment Balcony Safely?

Many apartment dwellings are under strict guidelines as to what is or is not allowed on the apartment balcony/deck. Please check with the apartment manager for details related to your building.

Painting, drilling holes, or securing an item that can not be removed without damaging an existing structure is probably NOT allowed.

Most often if it’s not heavy or safely secured it is not allowed. No one wants something flying off a deck in a bad wind storm, and believe me it happens. These ideas if installed properly are a safe bet to use for decoration purposes.

How To Make A Balcony Cozy And Inviting?

Plants: Plants and planter pots are a great way to add color and texture to a patio.
Outdoor Rug: Add warmth and comfort with a weather-resistant rug, creating a cozy atmosphere underfoot. Make sure it is secured with heavy items atop it.
Privacy Screens: An attractive privacy screen, such as bamboo or lattice panels, creates a secluded and intimate space. This may allow one to hang items such as plants or deco wall hangings securely.
Comfortable Seating: Opt for comfortable chairs or a small sofa with cushions and pillows that provide both coziness and support. Pillows etc are items that can blow away easily so it’s smart to bring them in while not in use however, most outdoor furniture cushions come with attachment pieces.
Flooring: Most often they are cement, adding weatherproof interlocking flooring can add warmth and foot comfort.
Lighting: Install string lights, lanterns, or wall sconces to create a cozy ambiance during the evenings.
Patio Fire Pits: adds a cozy campfire ambiance to any outdoor space.
