If you are a happy owner of a balcony and want it to feel fresher, more like an outdoor space or even a garden, but it seems that there is literally no space, there is still a way out: get a trellis. A trellis serves as both a functional support for climbing plants and a stunning visual element that adds depth and charm to any space. In addition, it does not take up any floor space and can also serve as a privacy screen if necessary. Here are some tips for dealing with a trellis on your own balcony.
Consider your space
First, consider the available space where you want to install the trellis. Consider the size, shape, and orientation of the area. Be aware of existing structures such as walls or fences that can serve as a backdrop for your trellis.

Determine the location
Decide where you want to install the trellis. Espaliers are placed along walls, but if you prefer, you can also add a planter box with a trellis. When choosing a location, consider the amount of sunlight and the plants you want to grow on the trellis. If you want artificial plants, it's even easier: just grab a trellis and place it where you want.

Select suitable plants
Choose plants that are well suited to growing on a trellis. Popular options include climbing roses, jasmine, clematis, ivy or vines. Consider the plant's growth habit, height, color and flowering time to create a visually appealing composition. If you want artificial plants, it's even easier: just grab a trellis and place it where you want. Then just attach the plants or leaves to make them look as natural as possible: this is a cool decoration that will liven up the room.
