From Germany to Turkey, let these beautiful balconies from around the world spark your creativity
Those of us living in apartments have found a new appreciation for our outside space. Providing us with fresh air and a chance to soak in some sunshine, our balconies have never been so loved.
For some us this means sweeping away the dust and cobwebs to finally give our balcony the TLC it deserves. If you’re in the process of giving your outside spot a makeover or if you’re looking for some inspiration to make it even dreamier here are some ways people around the world have decorated theirs:

Arabian nights
There’s a distinctly Moroccan theme in this Spanish outside space. Achieved with rich colours, lights and the gorgeous prints – who says art work can only be used inside?
Flower power
Who says you need a garden to do gardening? This pretty pink balcony in Germany proves you just need some planters and seeds to create a dreamy floral space.
Boho dream
In Macedonia, a delicate mix of curtains, lanterns, potted plants along with an elegant dream catcher creates a dreamy aesthetic. The view adds to the lucid look.
Simple does it
In Poland, keeping synchronicity with natural wood, a minimal look is achieved. The swinging egg chair is a focal point and perfect place to relax, while the fence panels afford that bit more privacy.
Inside-outside
Fairy lights and shelves give this indoor/outdoor terrace in Turkey a comfortable feel. By using ‘indoor homeware’ you can create an extension of the inside living space.
