5 Balcony Design Themes to Steal This Year

A balcony is the easiest room in the house to transform you are starting almost from scratch. The trick is to pick one clear theme and commit. Here are five that work beautifully in Indian homes.

1. Minimal Zen

Calm, uncluttered and restful. A few sculptural plants, neutral pots and clean lines.

• Snake plants and a single statement palm
• White or grey pots, repeated
• A low stool and a pale floor mat

2. Flowering Jungle

Loud, joyful colour for a balcony that gets real sun.

• Bougainvillea, hibiscus and seasonal bloomers
• Terracotta pots for an earthy, classic base

3. Tropical Resort

Big leaves, layered heights and a holiday feeling.

• Areca palm, monstera and tall foliage
• Cane or rattan furniture and warm lighting

4. Edible Balcony

Pretty and useful grow what you cook with.

• Tulsi, mint, curry leaf and chillies
• Railing planters to save floor space

5. Cosy Evening Corner

Designed for that after-work cup of chai.

• A compact set of low-maintenance plants
• Solar lanterns and warm string lights
• A floor cushion and a small side table

Whatever the theme, leave yourself somewhere to sit. A balcony you can use is a balcony you will love.

Once you have chosen a direction, our balcony setup service curates the plants, pots and decor and installs the whole look in a single afternoon.
