Having a balcony that you can turn into your own private, peaceful space is a real game changer in an apartments. If you’re a plant parent, the space is perfect for setting up your plant babies and providing them with all the sun they need. Your balcony railing can even be used to hang a few planters to start growing a little herb garden. And if you and your roomies just want to enjoy dinner under the stars, set up a table and chairs to utilize whenever you want to eat outside.
