A little romance always goes a long way. But living within the city makes it incredibly hard
to not just set-up dates but also follow through with them. The last thing you want at the
end of a busy workday is another 1-hour travel to a spot with your loved one, especially in
the insane city traffic and chaos. And let’s be honest, nothing like cozying up with that
special someone in the privacy of your own home. So, for all you homebodies out there
who love a romantic night in, we present to you this inspiring read!
Here are 6 ways to amp up the romance quotient in your balcony:
The Winter Wonderland
Sounds magical, doesn’t it?
The Balcony is an outdoor space and its main advantage is that you’re free to decorate it
and change the vibes depending on the season. With Winter approaching, you can go for
furniture pieces that are more woodsy and opt for rugs and mats that include fur and
other such warm fabrics. You can also add a touch of green by decorating the Balcony
with some flowering creepers. With the right kind of lighting and two cups of hot
chocolate, you could have a vacation inside your lovely home!
Patterns, Fabrics and More.
The selection of the right kind of fabrics, patterns, and textures is crucial in setting up the
mood to a specific spot. Depending on the vibe you decide to go for, ensure that the
patterns and fabrics you choose for the place are in complete harmony with each other.
For instance, if you’re someone who is always ‘summer-ready’ and loves outdoor dates,
then we suggest you use more colors and patterns on the bright side of the palette such
as Yellows, Reds, Oranges and so on. These colors reflect light and create a very chirpy
and fun vibe to the place.
Candles, lights and cozy nights.
One of the major things that can make or break your outdoor date spot is the lights. While
we know that candles are extremely romantic, we recommend going for elegant and
soothing light fixtures for the long term. With the interior decor industry constantly
evolving, there are some amazing light fixtures that you can get your hands-on!
Also, you can always get a little creative with string lights. For instance, build a camp-fire
in your balcony by wrapping some string lights around a bundle of firewood and light it
up. Camping indoors can be fun too, you know!
Green Forestation.
For those couples, who enjoy the serenity that comes with nature and greens, this set-up
fits your taste just right. Turn your Balcony into your very own little jungle with plants and
creepers everywhere. You can also opt for artificial grass carpets for the flooring to create
a 360-degree green bubble. With two bean bags and a warm woolen rug, this is one
place you’ll truly love!
Quit the whining and start the wining!
Traveling for two hours to sip on a glass of wine can be troublesome. So, having your bar
fixture at home can be a real blessing at the end of a long workday. Investing in an
elegant and movable Bar fixture is a really good spend not just for your Balcony but also
for the entire home. Stock up on some fine wines before your date and let the cozy night
begin!
Netflix and Chill!
Well, if this is your idea of a romantic night-in, we’ve got you covered too!
If both and your partner are big on gadgets and minimalistic decor, you could always opt
for an outdoor entertainment centre. And for the decor, you could go with a darker-palette
consisting mostly of dark blues and greys along with simple yet stylish furniture pieces.
