You may not have a garden that is ready to transform into a stunning display of flora and fauna, but if you DO have a balcony simply going to waste, then comes with us now, as we show you some simple upgrades that make a massive difference! You don't need to be a professional landscape architect or an interior designer to be able to inject some pretty touches and practicality into your balcony, so come with us now and see how easy a transformation can be!

1. Before: boring and plain.

We've never thought of a laundry airer as a very stylish balcony installation and this is hardly changing our mind!

1. After: wooden pallets made a big improvement.

Wow! Cheap and easy to make, pallet seating has made this balcony a real haven of extra space! Perfect for sunny days and just look at those apple crates, which have become a matching table! 

2. Before: such a wasted space.

It might be clean and unfussy, but why bother having an apartment with a balcony if you are simply going to do nothing more than store old furniture out there?

2. After: bistro furniture is all you need!

Well, this is a far more uplifting scene! A small yet vibrant bistro furniture set has created a perfectly romantic little dining spot out here now.

3. Before: serious potential at play.

We see enough space for a hammock here and a good amount of sun, but nothing in place to take advantage of these positive factors! ARGH!

3. After: a heavenly sun-trap.

Charming! A couple of stylish sun loungers and an upcycled crate table have totally added in some Mediterranean charm to this now beautiful sunbathing spot!

4. Before: ripe for an overhaul.

Is it just us, or is this balcony a little depressing? You'd rather not have one at all than this dirty and cramped space, right?

4. After: a colorful success.

A statement wall color and a pretty little dining set-up have come together to totally overhaul this balcony, which is now a lovely extra room! We might add some string lights as well, for a festive finish!

5. Before: down and out.

There's great bones here and given that the view isn't exactly inspiring, this balcony needs to be its own reward! That doesn't include discarded and dead plants!

5. After: the wonder of wood.

GORGEOUS! Perfectly sanded and painted wood, along with a good clean has made this balcony a little slice of zen! We really like the shelving, dining furniture and rug, for extra homey touches.

6. Before: ready to use!

If all this debris wasn't in place, this would be a clear and generous balcony, ready to be used for any purpose. What a shame it has been used as a dumping ground!

6. After: a singular sanctuary.

Isn't this so much better? A table for two with some fresh flowers and a candle has made this balcony so much more inviting and ready to enjoy!
