Enjoying A Slice Of Peace and Tranquility
Designing a Lush and Inviting Balcony at Amara Residences
Moving into a senior living residence doesn’t mean leaving behind the joys of a garden. Amara Residences’ spacious balconies offer ample opportunity to create a personal sanctuary in the heart of Lane Cove. With the right design, you can enjoy a verdant, beautiful extension of your home right on your balcony. Here’s how to make the most of your outdoor space.
Embrace Biophilic Design
Biophilic design is about bringing nature into our living spaces to promote well-being. Integrating greenery on your balcony, with the natural light and airflow available, can make it feel like a lush retreat. Opt for plants that are both visually appealing and easy to care for, like ferns, lavender, or potted succulents, which thrive in balcony environments.
Choosing the Right Plants
Look for hardy, low-maintenance plants that can handle sunlight and occasional shade. Herbs like rosemary and basil provide both beauty and utility, while small flowering plants such as geraniums add color without taking up too much space. If you love a touch of tropical flair, consider potted palms or rubber plants, which add height and a modern look.
Adding Comfort with Furniture and Decor
Comfortable seating can transform your balcony into a second living room. Choose outdoor furniture designed for compact spaces, like folding chairs or benches with hidden storage. Add pillows and throws in colors that match your interior decor to create a cohesive style. Small side tables are also great for resting a book or cup of tea while you relax.
Enhance Ambiance with Lighting
Subtle lighting can create a warm, inviting atmosphere after sunset. String lights, lanterns, or battery-powered candles add a touch of charm, making the space enjoyable day or night. Solar-powered lights are an eco-friendly choice, providing gentle lighting without additional wiring.
Consider Vertical Space
If space is limited, think vertically! Hanging planters or wall-mounted racks for smaller potted plants allow you to maximize greenery without taking up precious floor space. This approach adds depth to the area and creates a vibrant garden wall effect.
Creating a vibrant balcony at Amara Residences is about designing an outdoor space that brings joy, peace, and a touch of nature into everyday life. Come and see for yourself the expansive outdoor spaces that await you at Amara.
