Portable Furniture 

When furnishing your outdoor space, choose furniture that can be easily stored or moved. Look for pieces that don’t require excessive installation or drilling to avoid damaging the balcony.

Add Temporary Flooring

Use interlocking deck tiles and outdoor rugs to hide concrete or worn out flooring. This can make your space more cozy and personalized. It can also be easily removed if you decide to move out.

Privacy Screens 

Create a sense that you are in a private space and separate from your neighbors by using outdoor curtains or privacy screens. These can be easily installed without permanent fixtures, allowing you to relax in your own privacy outdoors.

Accessorize with Care 

Personalize your balcony with weather-resistant items like cushions, throws and outdoor decor. Opt for items that can easily be moved indoors during inclement weather or when you’re not using the space.

Lighting Options 

Temporary lighting solutions, such as solar-powered lamps, solar-powered lanterns or string lights can enhance the ambience of your balcony. These lights not only light up the area but also add a warm and charming touch to your outdoor space.

Remember to always be aware of your lease contract and any rules or restrictions set by your landlord. Avoid making permanent changes or additions to the balconies that could lead to fines or penalties. 

Follow these tips to create a renter friendly balcony that reflects you and your personality, without worrying about violating your lease or damaging your property. Step outside and enjoy your outdoor retreat.
