Balcony gardens are like small wonderlands inside space-crunched city apartments. These are ideal spots for entertaining, gardening or for simply creating an outdoorsy feel for the home. If you are looking for ideas for a balcony garden, look no further…
1. A pretty, candy-hued space, this. I like how the two bright colours of the furniture and the plants wonderfully contrast with each other, creating a striking visual.
3. It must be pure joy just watching the bustling city below while lounging in this retreat in the sky. The selection of modern chairs, figurines on the wall and the bright green patch of grass and plants paint a tranquil picture. It’s an achievable, affordable idea for designing a balcony garden.

4. The good thing about balcony gardens is that they allow you to surround yourself with nature and it also gives you the chance to grow your own herbs, as in this image. I like how the corner here is so well-organised with crates and hanging plants, all dedicated to cultivating a flourishing scape.
5. Now who wouldn’t like to savour a nice long drink in the company of nature? This is why this indoor-outdoor space accommodates a bar and a lush vertical garden. This idea for a balcony garden has my vote.
6. Plenty of foliage with creepers, grass and plants, the wooden decking and the matching smart built-in benches create a fresh, crisp look.
8. Every inch of space is utilised here, thanks to an unobtrusive built-in bench and boundary wall running along the length of the balcony. It’s perfect for wrapping the entire area with greenery, while seating plenty of guests or even for stretching out for an afternoon nap.
9. If you can’t stop looking at how neatly the vines on the wall have been trained up the wall, you’re not alone – I too, am hooked. The tall plants and grass create a manicured, cosy setting for the sitout in this balcony.

11. An oasis in the city, this balcony with modern seaters and sleek layout has been given an artistic touch with the addition of a green wall.
12. Sometimes even a small patch of greenery is enough to lift a space, as is evident in this image. The thin strip of grass and the lone tree add a subtle natural touch in this woody area. It’s a clever way to create a ‘courtyard’ kind of a space in a highrise balcony space.

13. In this balcony garden, the thick vertical foliage with the long strings of leaves and flowers, plus a grassy floor, produce a forest-like feel. I would love to spend my day sitting on this bright yellow bench, with a book for company.
14. In tiny balcony gardens, it’s wise not to crowd the limited floor space with potted plants. Instead, hang them like in this image, as it will save space, inject the necessary dose of greenery and look like pretty ornaments. A nice ‘hang out’ space, wouldn’t you say?
15. The right elements have turned this small balcony garden into a green oasis. The lush grass, plants inside vibrant pots, pebbles and the curving railing design together conjure up a cheery scape.
