There’s value to a balcony that goes way beyond the square footage it adds to your apartment. Perhaps that’s because it opens your living space up to the outside world, whether bustling city streets or manicured suburban landscapes.
Or maybe it’s because it feels good to have a secure retreat from which to observe your corner of the world.
You don’t have to plan a camping or hiking trip to enjoy the benefits of outdoor eating. You can shed your stress levels and calm your moods by stepping onto the balcony.
Whether you have enough space to create a bistro for a small gathering or can only squeeze in a couple of chairs and a folding table, you can soak up the sun and enjoy the summer breezes while you eat.
While balconies are often relatively small, you may be able to grow your own urban garden. It’s a good idea to start small with a few plants, have a few successes (and learning-failures), and then, gradually add to your outdoor greenery.
So, a balcony is what you make of it. You can eat and drink outdoors, build your relaxation hangout, check on the weather or simply delight in the view.
