Sunlight is good and refreshing, but it’s not something that you  would enjoy on a summer afternoon. A beautiful way to tackle it is to get bamboo curtains that can be easily rolled up or down as per your convenience. It will not only protect you from the extra sunlight, but will also make your sundeck serene.

Plants are a great addition to a balcony as they add to the ambience, but hanging them in colorful pots or little baskets makes it even better. A few pants help make the open sides of a balcony refreshing. It doesn’t stay pretty just by planting them- maintaining and taking good care of these little plants is important too.

The flooring plays a vital role when you’re setting up your balcony. If you don’t have a visually appealing flooring, it might ruin the complete ambiance of your space. To avoid that, get a rug and spread it out on the deck. You can also give it a nice touch by adding some colorful cushions.

Lights:
