Cottage Balcony Design Ideas
A cottage balcony combines the romantic English countryside charm with flowers spilling over every edge with a space designed for apartment dwellers.
A balcony typically features container plants, vertical garden, small furniture. Every inch counts — use vertical space and choose compact plants. When designed in the cottage style, these elements get elevated with soft pastels, whites, lavender, rose pink, leaf green and materials like weathered brick, picket fences, aged stone, arbors, clay pots.
