Be aware of how you spend your time on the balcony most often. Light beach or camping loungers may also be better suited than large wooden furniture.

An outdoor carpet for the balcony may be more suitable as an uncomplicated, faster option. Popular balcony flowers include hydrangeas, lavender, geraniums, oleanders, clematis, petunias and the easy-care begonias. For the less experienced, various herbs are suitable on your balcony, including oregano, thyme and lemon balm.
