Architecture Tip
For those who want greenery in their homes, but have small balconies, the idea of hanging pots is a great solution. You can install hooks on the ceiling of your balcony and hang pots from them. Ideally, you should install the hooks during construction. If you don't end up using them, they won't interfere with you. But if you ever want to hang pots, it becomes very simple. This saves balcony space and still allows you to enjoy greenery.
