Want to test the creativity side of the brain? then balcony ideas are the best food for thoughts. If we sit back and think then we will get an enormous list of ideas that we can try there. There wouldn't be a single person who hasn't experienced sipping a tea or coffee in Balcony. Even though the balcony is the smallest square area on any apartment building, we all love to spend quality time with our loved ones by sitting, talking, playing etc.
Balcony or sit out is a special space in every home where we would try our hobbies like potting the plants, using upcycled old furniture, novel lighting systems, painting the walls etc., to name few. When it comes to the balcony, we will be more courageous in attempting new thoughts as it is a small square area and is mostly private to our family members, so even our idea didn't turn up well, we take it easy.
One such idea we got is wall murals. Instead of a single lite tone color all over the balcony, we wanted to give some life to it by adding more active colors. Wall mural are what we finally decided on rather than just active colors. We were not professional painters, not even a painters; Oh God, the last painting I did was for my high school drawing class!! Based on our proficiency level, we chose to draw a tree with simple branches. No doubt, Google is always the third eye, from so many tree models we searched, we shortlisted to three and started our rough sketch on the wall.
Materials that are required
The paint we selected was Asian Royal paint, this is 100% odorless and is stain-free paint. Most of the paint shop has the base paint and instantly prepares the color we chose from the base paint. And the Asian Royal can be easily cleaned from our skin if paint spills on us.
If the wall is dirty then having a coat with emulsion is good. Low-cost emulsions like Tractor can be applied 5 to 6 hours before starting the mural work.
Work like this will keep us engaged on the weekends and also cherish us every moment we see it. Also, ideas like this will convert the balcony into a livable area rather a dumping area.
