Add Privacy to an Apartment Balcony

Balconies are an important extra space to any apartment or condo. Not only do they offer the perfect place to grill but also it gives you a private outdoor space when you have already sacrificed a yard. Unfortunately, most of these balconies lack privacy. Your neighbors can see you and you can see them.  Get the privacy you want and still enjoy your outdoor space with these easy solutions and balcony design ideas.

Woven Bamboo Fence Roll

Cover Railings

Balconies typically feature plain metal railings. This important safety feature does nothing to enhance the look of your balcony and allows neighbors to see right into your space. Conceal these railings with beautiful artificial ivy fence rolls.

The ivy is attached right to a wire grid so that you can simply roll it out on the outside of your railing and attach it with occasional clear zip ties or twist ties. You can purchase these by the roll and attach them to both sides of your railing or just one. From the street it will look like a beautiful design element and when you are seated on patio furniture

Hang Curtains

Purchase a set of outdoor curtains and hang them, just inside of the fence. When you want to get extra light you can slide them open. When you are more interested in having a private moment, pull them closed. A sheer fabric will let light in while obscuring neighbors or alleys from view.
