In order to live a healthy life we need to spend as much time as we can in bonding with nature, especially today, when there is less nature every day. Threes are falling daily, forests and jungles are being cut down, and there is nothing we, as individuals, can do about it, except to try and create a small heaven just for us to enjoy.
It has been proven that nature helps with relaxing and restoring our minds and arranging your balcony is certainly a great investment.

Lightning
Lightning is definitely a mood changer. Having it very strong can wake you up and not allow you to relax, while dimmed light of various colors and placed in different corners can help you relax your body and mind, so you can fully enjoy every moment spent out there.

Spacing
Make sure you have enough space once you set everything up. Balconies are usually not very big and once you put down couple of things you realize that there is no room left for you to turn around, or even leave from where you are standing. Use the space you have wisely and keep in mind that if it is packed it does not only make it harder for you to move out there, but it also does not look pretty. There are different solutions for this problem, like hanging your plants or setting up a mount table so there is more room for your legs or something else.
