So if you are an HDB owner, and want to get a new look for your balcony, then read on…
Mini Garden
If you are a plant lover and have an open balcony, turning it into a mini garden is a charming idea. You can place beautiful plants and flowers of your choice on the ground, on the shelves, or hang them on the walls or ceilings. Vines plants will give your HDB balcony a European look. Add artificial grass turf and wooden furniture to give more natural vibes. If you can’t take care of your real plants, cheat this idea by placing up fake plants. This idea can be applied even when you own a small balcony. This kind of decoration will give life to your HDB apartment and you’ll feel like being in a lush floating garden.
Comfy Relaxation Space
A balcony is a classic spot to escape from weariness. You can sit there after working hours, enjoying the view with a cup of coffee while scrolling through your social feeds. So, why not convert your HDB balcony into a relaxation space? Put a mini sofa or a soft bean bag and add a foldable table that you can easily move around. If your balcony is large enough, you can install an outdoor swing or a swing chair and complement it with pillows for comfort. Soft lighting fixtures such as string lights or lanterns will elevate its aesthetic look. Make it as comfortable as you want!
Bring The Beach Home
Do you miss summer vacation on the beach? But don’t have the time to go there? Apply beach and summer vibes to your balcony! Install a hammock for open air naps. Add foldable wooden chairs and decorate it with pillows. You can also set a glass barrier on the railings to accentuate the outdoors. If your balcony is wide enough, you can place one or two lounge chairs to enjoy the sun. Or add a vacation vibe by installing an eye-catching awning.
Hanging Dining Area
If you live in a high floor HDB flat, you probably have an access to see the mesmerising view of the city and you probably like to enjoy this scene while eating or sipping a cup of coffee or tea. Whether it’s an outdoor or indoor balcony, you can enhance its value with this decoration idea by installing floating bar counters on the railings to save your floor space and put in some bistro stools. Add lighting fixtures for a comfy dinner while enjoying night views from above.
Reading Spot
Reading books is such a classic balcony activity because it’s a perfect spot for reading. You can convert your HDB balcony into a reading nook by placing a small bookshelf, a soft pouffe or an easy-chair. Add a coffee table because it’s not complete when you read books without beverages or snacks. If you have limited footage in your balcony, maximise the wall space by installing a floating bookshelf, and put a foldable chair, then you can comfortably read your favourite books without overwhelming the space.
Children Playing Area
With the Covid-19 spreading around, we want our children to be safe by staying indoors. However, at the same time we don’t want them to be too stressed from staying inside for too long. The best idea to overcome this dilemma is by transforming your HDB balcony into a little play area. Your children can happily be playing under your supervision.
To achieve this idea, you have many options. For example, you can put a mini children’s tent filled with colourful pillows. Or Inflate a mini pool filled with sand or little plastic balls. Or set a mini table and chair for doodling and drawing. Don’t forget to roll out rubber mats for flooring and make an enclosed balcony to secure the zone by applying proper railings.
