Balcony Design

Balcony Design

A balcony can become a beautiful and practical green room, even in the middle of Amsterdam. I design balconies that feel calm, cosy, and carefully arranged — with the right balance of planting, materials, seating, and seasonal detail.

Whether your balcony is small, windy, shaded, or overlooked, I can help you make better use of the space. The design may include layered planting, ornamental grasses, annuals and perennials, shelves for pots and seedlings, suitable containers, privacy solutions, and comfortable seating such as a reading chair or swing hammock.

I also advise on details that make a real difference: covering cold concrete floors with wooden deck tiles, using stones to soften edges, choosing pots that suit the architecture, and selecting plants that thrive in Amsterdam’s climate.

The result is a balcony that feels personal, green, and inviting — not overcrowded, but thoughtfully composed.

Balcony design services can include:

  • Layout and space planning
  • Planting design for sun, shade, or wind
  • Container and material selection
  • Seasonal planting ideas
  • Styling with shelves, mirrors, furniture, and lighting
  • Advice on maintenance and plant care

If you would like your balcony to feel more beautiful, comfortable, and alive, I would be pleased to help you design it. If you need some help with planting, I also can help you with that.
