Balconies give apartment dwellers an extra living area where they can enjoy fresh air and, if they are lucky, a beautiful view. One disadvantage of apartment living is the lack of privacy, and this often extends to the balcony. Most balconies are visible from neighboring buildings or from the street. We have collected 21 balcony privacy screen ideas showing different privacy options.
Ideas for balcony privacy screens – greenery
Tall plants on the balcony provide both greenery and privacy. You do not have to buy the tallest plants at the nursery. Choose plants you like, place them at different heights and arrange the taller ones where they block the neighbors’ view. Hanging plants can add another layer.

Screen panels
Balcony railings are usually only waist high. Panels can provide extra privacy when you want to relax in a chair. They are available in many materials, shapes and colors.
Bamboo mat
Curtains and bamboo mats are lightweight and relatively easy to install. They add style and privacy and can also block strong sun on hot days. The drawback is that they are not always a permanent solution because wind and weather can wear them down quickly.
Curtains
Sheer curtains can be hung from wire or hooks and washed quickly. Light fabrics still let you enjoy the view while shielding you from prying eyes. Blackout curtains block both neighbors’ attention and sunlight.
