Balcony garden

A full garden on a few square metres.

Balcony garden example

A balcony is a garden in miniature — and the small scale is a gift, because every pot is at eye level and within reach. Plant up the rails, the walls and the floor in layers, choose a tight palette so it feels considered rather than cluttered, and add one comfortable seat. Containers, a screen for privacy and trailing greenery turn a bare slab into a green retreat.

Key features

Every Balcony garden is built from a few signature elements. These are the details that define the look — and exactly what you drag onto your own 2D plan in LushAI, then render photorealistically.

  • Layered planting: rail boxes, floor pots and a wall or trellis
  • A tight, repeated palette so a small space stays calm
  • A privacy screen or trellis with climbers
  • One compact, comfortable seat to make it a place to be

Colour palette

Fresh greens and white, with one warm accent in pots and cushions.

Materials

Glazed and timber pots, rail planters, a slatted screen, outdoor rug.
