Balcony Garden Ideas for Apartments: Easy

Even amid a concrete jungle, we at De Gardenia believe that everyone deserves a green refuge. If you own a property and want a peaceful balcony garden but don't have the time or the right conditions for real plants, an artificial balcony garden is the best choice. No set times for irrigation. No shedding in the winter. Just beauty and peace all year long.

Our high-quality fake plants have helped hundreds of city homeowners change their balconies, and in this blog, we'll teach you how to do the same with ease and style.

Why you should pick fake plants for your balcony

Balconies, especially in high-rise residences, present several challenges: irregular sunlight, pollution, concerns about water drainage, and limited maintenance time. That's where fake plants shine.

Here are some reasons why more people are moving to fake plants:

● No need for sunlight: Great for balconies that are in the shadow or other enclosed spaces

● No upkeep needed: no watering, trimming, or mess on the soil

● Weatherproof and UV protected: Built to last through rain, sun, and dust

● Safe for kids and pets: There are no harmful leaves or allergies to worry about.

● Evergreen looks: Stay bright and fresh-looking all year long

Our fake plants offer the beauty of nature to your home without the work. Whether you have a small Juliet balcony or a large outdoor lounge, they will look great.

How to Make Your Fake Balcony Garden

It's not as hard as you think to set up your green space. Here's how to get started:

Make a plan for your layout

First, measure the size of your balcony and see how much natural light it gets. Choose how you want to use the space:

● Do you want a cosy place to read?

● Want a screen that blocks the view of adjacent buildings?

● Or do you just want a nice piece of green to relax in?

Everything else will come into place once you know what you want to do.

Pick Your Plants Smartly

You can find artificial plants in many shapes and sizes, and a good mix makes them look more lifelike. Here are the combos we like best:

● Tall Plants: Put fake Areca Palms, Bamboo Trees, or Fiddle Leaf Figs in corners or next to railings to add height and structure.

● Hanging Plants: For a cascading appearance, use rich trailing plants like Pothos, Spider Plants, and Boston Ferns from hooks, ceilings, or planters set on railings.

● Wall Creepers: Put fake English Ivy, Money Plant vines, or Philodendrons on vertical wire frames or wooden trellises.

● Bushes and shrubs: Add some texture and color to your center tables or window ledges with small fake Boxwood Balls, Lavender bushes, or Succulents.

Install a Vertical Green Wall

Vertical gardens are a great idea for small balconies. Our Artificial Green Wall Panels are ready to install and add instant drama and freshness. You can use them to:

● Make a privacy screen that looks natural.

● Add bright green textures to boring walls.

● Make a beautiful background for your coffee spot

For a more realistic, layered look, mix different kinds of leaves, such as fern, monstera, and ivy, into your wall.

Add Artificial Grass or Flooring

A soft, lush fake grass mat instantly makes your place look like a tiny garden. You can also add warmth with wooden deck tiles or rugs with a pattern.

Add furniture and decor that are comfortable

Add comfortable, weatherproof furniture to your garden:

● A rattan bench, swing seats, or foldable chairs

● Cushions with floral, cream, or green patterns

● Planters made of terracotta, ceramic, or jute

● Mood lighting can be done using bamboo lanterns, candle holders, or string lights.

Final Touches with Hanging Bushes & Borders

Don't forget to put up decorations on the edges of railings for balconies. Use:

● To soften the lines on your balcony, hang shrubs like Bougainvillaea or Morning Glory.

● Baskets hanging from the rail that are loaded with fake flowers to give colour

●

Put mini hedges or border plants around the perimeter of the floor to give it a polished, garden-like look.

What Science Says About Artificial Greenery

People often ask us if fake plants truly make you feel better like real plants can.

A 2021 study by interior designer and wellness expert, Dr. Livia Hartmann, published in the Journal of Environmental Design, explored this question. She found that even visual exposure to greenery — including realistic artificial plants — significantly reduced cortisol levels (the stress hormone) in participants over a 6-week observation period.

People who worked or relaxed in rooms with fake green decor reported:

● 27% better at staying focused

● 31% less stress

● A clear rise in overall happiness

What does this mean? It's not just the oxygen or soil that calms us down. It's also the way we see and feel connected to nature, which artificial gardens can do well.

Final Words

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
