Hey guys!
I hope you are all doing well. Welcome back to my channel.
I am so excited to share this one with you. It is our terrace transformation. Myself and Zara moved into our flat in London in August last year and we never got round to doing up our terrace before summer ended so we have been so excited to get things looking cosy for the summer months.
This makeover was done on a budget, with limited supplies and a lot of help from Amazon!
I have linked everything we used down below, leave me a comment if you have any questions and I will get back to you.
Thank you so much for watching.
Luke x

Finally an actual ‘small’ balcony I can relate to! Thanks!

Looks great. You painting the white over the blue on the window sills was so satisfying. Also your neighbor is going to come out on THEIR balcony and be like "Wow, we really need to step up our game." Hahahha

Love the faux grass idea but how do you clean the artificial grass after it rains? Doesn’t the water settle between the grass and ultimately lead to bacteria accumulation?

@sparbara842 4 жыл бұрын

@@manoshivora8236 As far as I know, you can get it in two qualities: waterproof ones and water-permeable ones. :)

I hope that once the lockdown is over we make more time to enjoy our outdoor spaces like this, they do in other countries so why not here? I know our weather isn't wonderful but coming home from work and having a bit of time outside is so therapeutic, or coffee in the morning before work, I love doing that.

Balconies all over the world are grateful for all the care and decorations that we make on them now times. They've become an important part of our leisure time. Don't forget them once this is over. I've always used mine a lot. I live in Spain, in the Mediterranean part, so I can use more than half of the year.

Beautifully done! We have a product in our Dollar Tree stores called Never Wet. You spray it on outdoor decor and furniture and it stays dry when it rains. If your pound land doesn't have it you can maybe find it on line. Y'all stay safe and enjoy your outdoor space. From the Southeast coast of Florida 🌴😎💙😎🌴

Look’s lovely Luke, yourself and Zara did a great job. The back wall where your ottoman’s are you could put a fake ivy trellis up. They do different greenery too. Maybe wrap lights through the trellis and or add a mirror. Just some idea’s. 💙😊

Just a small tip - it may be better to put the solar panel for your balcony lights on the out side of the post it is currently sitting next to because firstly it will be hidden but also it won't be in shadow from the post itself. I think you could also hide the underside of the 'industrial glass roof' above your balcony with some all weather fabric draped nicely . maybe some shower curtains ina nice fabric - have a look at Kate Mckabes greenhouse make over she did hers with voiles- they were on the inside so you sould need something water proof - but it looked lovely.

@LukeCatleugh 4 жыл бұрын

That is a great idea Jan, thank you. We are noticing the lights aren't coming on so maybe that has something to do with it.

Brilliant transformation!! I did the Fake Grass bit with my small yard which was mostly a very rough concrete path. It covered the concrete but left a small triangle of so called Garden. I picked up small rocks when I found them and made a rockery in the corner and got various "junk" furniture from second hand/charity shops. A cleaned up and painted green wooden bookcase for displaying small pots and other items. A small wooden indoor table and an "iffy" plastic chair painted the same green. A solar powered water feature and non-matching pots from the same junk shops to put some plants in and my yard was transformed. Lovely place now for a cuppa and even my little Mutt likes it. Again, brilliant and Well Done.
