As soon as the sun comes out, there’s nothing better than throwing open the doors to the balcony or terrace. It lets in more natural light and instantly makes your living room feel more spacious. By styling your indoor and outdoor space in the same way, you can create a seamless flow between the two. Here’s how to link your indoor and outdoor space!

How to link your indoor and outdoor space using plants

Placing Anthuriums outdoors

Did you know that Anthurium plants can also be placed outside during summer? It’s an easy way to give your terrace or balcony a tropical touch! As long as they’re kept in the shade and the temperature doesn’t drop below 16°C, you can enjoy these plants outdoors too. Anthuriums even benefit from the occasional rain shower, which helps rinse off any dust and dirt from the leaves. This allows them to absorb daylight more effectively, which is vital for their health. If your Anthuriums are under a canopy or covered area, don’t forget to water them now and then. Once the night-time temperature falls below 16°C, it’s time to bring them back indoors.

Coordinate colours

Create a smooth transition between inside and outside by coordinating colours. Got some leftover paint from your interior walls? Use it in the garden or on the balcony! Painting an outdoor wall in the same colour as your indoor space helps to make your outdoor area feel like a natural extension of your home. Another bonus: it can make your outdoor space appear larger!

Complete your outdoor space with accessories

To make your outdoor area feel cosy, add some accessories. For instance, lay down a rug and place a few bold cushions on the bench or outdoor seating. Have a small garden or balcony? Hanging plants can help free up floor space. Don’t forget to add some cute lanterns or tealight holders, and perhaps a string of fairy lights for a magical touch.
