When COVID-19 hit in 2020 and forced everyone into quarantine, I never missed having a balcony more. In the past, I rarely used any of the balconies I had. During quarantine, the apartment I was living in didn't have a balcony. I craved to be able to go outside without having to leave my apartment just for some fresh air. When I relocated, the number one thing on my wish list besides a walk-in closet was, you guessed it, a balcony. I finally got a balcony and was so happy, I decided to go all out on decor.

This post is all about decorating your balcony.
