Many of us live in apartments in big cities and not in houses, we don’t have a terrace or a garden but there’s still a way to decorate your outdoors: make your holiday balcony look so cool that everyone would envy! Go for colorful garlands, ornaments, lights and wreaths; if you want a natural touch, try fir branches and eucalyptus. If the space allows, put a seat and a Christmas tree on your balcony, add a blanket and some candles – and voila! You have a real Christmas terrace in miniature! Get more creative ideas and tips below and decorate your small outdoor space with chic and style!
Natural Décor
Evergreens and ferns are amazing to style your balcony for winter and Christmas. They can be added in garlands, wreaths, arrangements and posies and you can highlight them with lights, bells and berries. Accent the wreath or garland with a red bow, ornaments and other stuff. Pinecones are also nice to decorate your balcony, put them on shelves, furniture, floor or incorporate into garlands, wreaths and other décor. You can also put some Christmas trees in buckets, pots or vases on the floor, natural décor is timeless and cool.
