In an apartment with a balcony you have a beautiful outdoor space, but little privacy from your neighbors. Therefore, we propose some decorating decisions, so you do not feel so exposed while you sit outside. Confidentiality can be achieved on the balcony with bamboo plants and reed mats. These are two flexible ideas that you can always remove later on if you move out.
Balcony with bamboo plants, grasses and reed mats.
Most varieties of bamboo generally are evergreen herbs with woody stems, which are among the fastest growing plants in the world. Bamboo plants have a natural look and are available in a number of varieties. You need to choose carefully, as some varieties have different growth forms. Bamboo could be used as a screen for the balcony by adding them to a pot plant. They may need to be re-potted or divided every few years, so as not to break their tank. Like all other bamboo plants in pots they need good drainage, regular watering, fertilizing and protection against weather.

Curtains of bamboo and reed mats are lightweight and relatively easy to install. They are an excellent choice at an affordable price for those who want to improve their balcony or terrace it. Bamboo blinds not only offer style and privacy, but they can also block the sun and make the balcony cooler on hot days. They are not completely waterproof. The mat can be secured to the railings with clamps or clips. You should secure them well because bamboo is light and can fly off in a storm if it is not installed correctly.
