With the first warming rays of sunshine, we are soon drawn outside again.
If you want to decorate your balcony nicely, you should focus on contrasts.
If you want to redesign your balcony in spring or beautify it a little, you can't go wrong this year with materials such as wood, wicker or rattan.
Because natural materials are very trendy.
When it comes to flowers in balcony boxes or patio tubs, different colors are popular as a contrast to simple outdoor furniture.

An "absolute balcony trend 2023" is also a green privacy screen.
For example thanks to ivy.
"Sometimes a lush, tall planting is enough and the desired privacy protection is given.
It is just as natural to place a wooden trellis with a flower box on one of the short sides of the balcony,” advises the portal.
"Alternatively, several small flower pots to hang make a lot."

Cushions in bright colors create a feel-good atmosphere in seating areas with furniture made of rattan, wood or bamboo.

This year, the cushions and tablecloths can be in brighter colors from orange to pink, again as a contrast to the otherwise plain outdoor furniture.
Cushions with floral patterns are also beautifully summery and can be used to set individual accents this year.
