When you are renting an apartment is always a challenge deciding what to do with the balcony – as a result, many people left naked or just use it as bike storage and milk cartons. While it may seem difficult at first, even the smallest balcony can be converted into a place with limited seating simple plants and a little imagination.

Here are a balcony easy decorating tips to get the most out of your rental apartment:

Take a Seat

Undoubtedly, the easiest way to do the balcony more comfortable is to add a chair or two – once you have a place to sit and admire the view, more often than you really be inclined to use the balcony!

Balcony furniture can range from a couple of chairs and a table next to a swing or a hammock chair. Make sure your furniture is durable, waterproof and easy to clean – you do not want your balcony seats to soak up every last drop of summer rain. If you have a very small balcony and still need space for other things, you may want to consider a bank of multi-purpose storage. In the end, just be sure to plan the space according what to use for.

A Touch of Green

Another easy way to decorate your balcony is to add some plants. Even something as simple as a few plants in pots in the corner of the gallery can make the area seem much more attractive. Be sure to choose the suitable plants for your apartment (you'll want different plants, depending on whether your balcony gets lots of shade or sunny) and thus can prosper for long without a constant care.

Be creative

Above all, be creative! For example, if you really like the outdoors and wanted to have a lawn, why not establish some patches of grass to cover the ugly concrete floor of the balcony? Express yourself and make the balcony of your own – it's your living space, after all.

Also, be sure to select the accessories and decorations not modest will crack or fade in the sun and will not be swept away by a sudden gust of wind – you could be liable for damages if something falls off your balcony.

Check first with your landlord

Before you bust out the paintbrush or start drilling holes for the hooks holding knees to his hammock, check with your landlord or property manager first to see what is and is not allowed on your balcony. Many cities and apartment buildings have specific rules for what a tenant is allowed to do with its balcony – for example, most do not allow grills or barbecues. Others may not allow the balcony to be used for storage of sports equipment, while others may not allow satellite dishes to be installed.

Moreover, most of the apartments will not allow any decorations to make their unit a "monstrosity" and really are off around it, so choose your decorations modest (in other words, do not expect to be able to cover the balcony with hundreds of Christmas lights).

When in doubt, check your tenant agreement policy and ask your landlord before making any changes to your balcony.
