A lush green balcony garden quickly turns into an oasis of tranquility. Whether it’s a small urban balcony or a spacious terrace, it’s all about organizing it so that it becomes your to favourite place to be as the days get longer and warmer. If we\u2019re going to begin the month of May in confinement, let\u2019s do it with style! Here are some tips and tricks to successfully transform your outdoor space … in just 4 easy steps!<\/p>\n

1. Choose a theme<\/h3>\n

The first step to creating a beautiful balcony is to choose a theme and harmonious shades that will complement it. Anything goes … Seaside villa, Provence garden, Moroccan riad… Focus on colours that create a sought-after atmosphere such as an exotic look or a cocooning feel. For example, here\u2019s Montreal influencer Audrey Rivet\u2019s balcony<\/a>. She successfully created the ideal atmosphere to enjoy May\u2019s cooler weather. If you find the time to paint the wrought iron railing or exterior walls of your balcony, go for it! This decorating change is the perfect start to spruce up your space.<\/p>\n

2. Add some green<\/h3>\n

No balcony or terrace can do without plants or flowers (having both is even better). If you want flowers that will last until October or even longer, we suggest the timeless geranium. Always a classic with its bright colours and citrusy fragrance. A natural climber, the colourful and easy to maintain Mandevilla Sun Parasol is a good choice for hanging baskets, pots and flower boxes. Affordable and perfect for shaded balconies, impatiens are another classic choice. Million bells are also excellent candidates for hanging baskets. Available in a wide variety of colours, they will allow you to create magnificent arrangements. For an exotic flair, think of a cactus, hibiscus or succulents, three tropical plants you can take inside once summer is over. Want to add a Mediterranean feel? Choose lavender and aromatic herbs such as rosemary, basil, oregano, thyme, tarragon, sage, dill, parsley, lemon balm and verbena. You will have everything you need to add flavour and aromas to every dish. And remember, nothing beats the convenience and deliciousness of a home-cooked meal. To respect social distancing, choose garden centres that offer online shopping and home delivery like the Quebec company Jardin Jasmin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Furnish<\/h3>\n

Before you begin your search for the right outdoor furniture, consider these three things: space, comfort, and durability. If you’re short on space, avoid bulky or oversized furniture and prefer compact or folding furniture. For example, the balcony bar from the Quebec company Demain Dimanche<\/a> is perfect for those who want to work outside. When it comes to chairs, make sure they\u2019re comfortable to lounge in and foldable or stackable if space is limited. Le Balconier<\/a> offers several options. In any case, consider choosing materials that are durable and designed to withstand all weather conditions.<\/p>\n

4. Decorate<\/h3>\n

Now\u2019s the time to let your imagination run wild. Decorate your balcony with objects and accessories that match the theme you\u2019ve chosen. Transform it into an irresistible retreat, a place that feels truly yours. Soft cushions, candles and lanterns, pretty tablecloth, watering can, baskets, rugs, anything goes! Here are our season\u2019s favourites, and they\u2019re all available online.<\/p>\n
