How to create Oriental balcony garden?
1) Try to paint your balcony red and seal. You may also add very small wood burns of herons, crickets or dragons here and there, but don’t overdo it
2) For water collection you should use medium-sized boulders which have a dip in the center
3) Place stone benches which look like embroidered Chinese designed cushions
4) Put a growing bamboo in a large stone container
5) For the table you can choose a large bowl with a single large water lily
6) Hang paper lanterns, several small stone containers which can be filled with chrysanthemums, poppies or simple planting.
To create a cool oasis in your balcony you should choose small ferns and simple green foliage plants. Your rainforest garden can be located right on the top of your balcony. If you want to make your balcony a place where you can relax you should add a wicker chaise longue and a neighboring stool for a pitcher of water. Hang baskets of ferns and place terracotta containers of green foliage plants around the chase. It is important to choose kinds of plants which grow upwards rather than outwards. As an ornament you can hang crystal wind chimes.
You can also design your balcony garden in the Southwestern style. To create a warm and sunny corner of New Mexico in your balcony you should use adobe-colored paint and props in muted desert colors.
Here are some useful tips: terracotta tiles, glazed pottery, various large river rocks, cacti and succulents, mural of the sun, Spanish lanterns, Native American blanket which can be used instead of a table cloth, and two low wood benches.
The crucial factor of any balcony design is that it should be simple. If you use too much elements you balcony will have a cluttered and overcrowded look. You should think over what you are going to do there ─ will it be a place to read, serve lunch, meditate, sew ─ and only after that you can begin your design project. To create a dramatic look, use a single color like white or purple. It makes the space simple. It is also necessary that your balcony could be safe and built securely.
