Balconies are spacious places where we are relaxed. We are doing a lot of activities from reading a book to having a conversation with our friends. However, we shouldn’t get feeling as if somebody watched and listened to us. At that exact point, there are balcony privacy ideas that solve this problem. Just like bamboo fence ideas for outdoor privacy. In this article, I am going to write about balcony privacy ideas such as curtains, tarpaulins, bamboo blinds, and sailor’s hammock.
1) Balcony Curtains
As first balcony privacy ideas, I would like to begin with the curtains. Of course, there are plenty of types of curtains in the markets. Yet you should consider its decorative aspect as much as the privacy aspect. To illustrate, if your balcony floor paved with brown runnen decks, you had better get a curtain in a way to harmony with the floor. There are glamourous curtains models, for example, plain, flowery and offset, and so on. I think the white curtain with animal or flower offset goes well with a fresh breeze air.
2) Privacy Tarpaulins
Secondly, I can see tarpaulins in many balconies. Their materials are generally plastics. Herewith, there are a couple of advantages for the user. No matter how much it rains, its material is waterproof. Also, it never requires washing and cleaning just like curtains. Not only has it waterproof but it also protects from ultra-violet ray exposure. The most important is they are affordable. I think white yellow stripe tarpaulin will fit perfectly for your balcony.
3) Store Curtains
Third balcony privacy idea is store curtains that could be useful for your balcony. The use of them is easy and practical. But its mechanism is vulnerable to any misuse. So you must be careful while using such curtains. In the extremely sunny weather, this kind of curtains can overwhelm you while being at the balcony. Also, their cleaning is challenging than other types of curtains. I think you should use tulle curtains instead of store curtains for the better.
4) Bamboo Blinds
Lastly, bamboo fence or blinds are one of the perfect options. As far as I know, you must measure up its dimension so that it fits your balcony facade before ordering a new one. These bamboo blinds are made from natural materials whereas other products are synthetic. If it goes through a little bit of sunlight inside, it won’t be a problem for privacy.
5) Sailor’s Hammock
As a bonus, the Sailor’s Hammock is also a brilliant idea for balconies. White ones are awesome. Your balcony will look like a sailing ship while the wind blows. Besides if you stack planters or other decoration stuffs around the balcony, it will double your balcony enjoyment.
