Every balcony has the potential to become a green and blooming corner that will affect both the interior of the apartment and the mood of the tenants.
One of the strongest trends today in home planning and design is the combination of the interior and the exterior.
Sit at home and feel outside or alternatively sit outside and feel at home "Nowadays, the balcony is very important, which is an integral part of the house, it is a direct continuation of it. "It is important to design the balcony according to the design line of the house to create continuity," explains interior designer Oron Milstein.
Another prominent trend is small balconies that come out of the bedrooms and are a small and intimate corner for morning coffee or reading a book.
"The Israelis 'discovered' their balcony during the Corona virus and since then its importance is only increasing," explains Milstein, "it is important to plan the balcony well and understand in advance which direction it faces and what we see from it, air directions, the location of the neighbors, etc., in order to maximize the stay there One of the most prominent trends today is a green wall - a vertical plant system that covers the balcony wall and gives the feeling of a small 'jungle'."

As part of the outdoor hospitality experience, how can you not refer to the food?
Israelis love to host and cook and love the sun.
The experience of cooking outside became dominant, as a result outdoor kitchens conquered the Israelis.
They enable a comfortable and high-quality cooking experience just like at home, but outside.
Today there is a huge supply of outdoor kitchens of various sizes, suitable for any balcony and coming with all the facilities you can dream of, starting with refrigerators, grills and stoves, wine coolers and more.
"The Israeli consumer is not satisfied with a traditional barbecue area on the balcony, he wants a rich and pampering hospitality experience in the form of a real kitchen, which sometimes does not fall out of the interior kitchen he owns. Kitchens are no longer the property of owners of large balconies or gardens, but also compact, durable, light outdoor kitchens for transportation, and have a designed and prestigious appearance," explains Yael Moskovitch, VP of Marketing at Niga Chef FOR HOME, importer of the outdoor kitchens of the Italian FOGHER brand.

"The mixing between the inside and the outside gave rise to a multitude of collections designed for the outside and the inside. In doing so, a look is obtained between the living room at home and the living room outside. The sitting on the balcony collection is actually the arrival of the living room at home. The same style, the same language. Which creates a blur between the inside and the outside," Milstein concludes.
According to him, "On the balcony, you can combine different seating and lying options, with playful touches in the form of poufs, colorful cushions, and less formal seating styles that create a feeling of cheapness and freedom. Today there is a wide variety of outdoor seating solutions made of durable materials, which hardly makes a difference between the luxurious textiles and the fragrance of the interior and the more durable of the exterior."
