How to turn an ordinary balcony into a stylish outdoor living space

It’s easier than you think with outdoor mirrors in your design kit.

Apartment balconies are great spaces to relax and entertain and it’s easy enough to create a comfortable outdoor space to do just that, but if you explore using outdoor mirrors on a balcony wall you can take that space to the next level in outdoor living.

If you’ve got a balcony chances are it will have at least one side wall. That wall is your golden ticket. That’s the space you can use to your greatest advantage to add this essential layer to your styling kit.
Outdoor mirrors are one of the simplest yet most powerful design elements you can introduce. 

There’s good reason for that.
Outdoor mirrors on balcony walls catch distant views, glimpses of city skylines, ocean horizons, or neighbourhood treetops, bringing that all in close and connecting you to your surrounds. 

This makes your space feel larger and gives it a sense of openness and connection to the world beyond.

Another bonus and is that you can see these mirror reflections when you look out from indoors so instead of looking at a balcony wall – you are looking at a reflected view.

Then as the day turns to night, reflections of lights, or the glow of lanterns add a soft, ambient glow, ensuring your outdoor space remains enchanting long after the sun sets.

With the right mirror design and placement, you can turn even the most ordinary balcony into a stunning space to relax alone, or entertain with family and friends.
