4. Add Privacy With Curtains
I love this look! Sheer curtains make your balcony space private and block out sunlight to create a beautiful, relaxing space. You could hang these with a tension shower curtain rod that could be removed later on if you’re renting, and you can purchase waterproof outdoor curtains in a sheer or blackout version so you don’t have to worry about them getting wet!
