- 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.

Finally an actual ‘small’ balcony I can relate to! Thanks!
Mine is half his!
Some of these "small" balconies are actually larger than some apartments here in Romania 😅😅😅
@@stefangodo3478 ei da 😂
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
I am so thankful for people like you...cuz I wouldn't have a damn clue how to do any of this.
Amazing transformation 😍 Just a tip about the rosemary, didn't see any drainage holes. Rosemary needs well drained soil and sunshine 🌿🌞
Absolutely, but not only rosemary...almost every living plant 😅
As Luke was planting I was thinking drainage 😂👍🥰
I have been wondering how to make my balcony look a bit nicer, and the artificial grass is genius! Think I will be stealing that idea! Thanks for sharing and great job guys
Ahh that’s so kind! Thank you!
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?
@@manoshivora8236 As far as I know, you can get it in two qualities: waterproof ones and water-permeable ones. :)
really wanted to see how pretty it looks with the lights in the dark!
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.
Job well done.
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.
You guys did an amazing job transforming your outdoor space. Hope you enjoy.
It does look amazing. Good job guys. Thanks for sharing.
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. 💙😊
The lights and the hanging plant just pulled the whole thing together 😍👏🏽 Gorgeous job!
Love love love this make over! You've gone beyond with some really great ideas and I love them all! It take a really good eye to look at that "balcony" and end up looking that beautiful!👏👏👏
Looks lovely in these times any outdoor spaces is a god send x
Some of these "small" balconies on CZcams are actually larger than some apartments here in Romania 😅😅😅 this is actually a decent one :)
Wow what a fantastic transformation for such a small area. I love it all. Well done to you both.
What a way to make the most of all your space. Loved the artificial grass and the storage seating. I know what I am about to go order!
Thank you so much! That’s so kind. We love it. The storage is such a good shout and pretty affordable too
Ok mlm be
This looks amazing!!! You can get a weatherproofing spray for the fabric benches. It might help protect from the rain. 😊😊
Yes, I was going to mention Scotchguard, you can find it in the camping area of a big box store. Looks great
Loving what you and Zara have done, it looks fab xx
I love what you are doing with your outdoor space it's fab
Wow, what a difference. That looks so lovely. A perfect place to sit with a nice glass of wine ❤️
Fabulous! Giving me brunch vibes! I will def be copying the faux grass idea for my balcony :)
Well done you two,can’t wait to see it when it’s all finished,🌈🌸🍃🌹🌼🌱
Luke and Zara - well done! That was so satisfying to watch, & you explained the whole process so well; the end result was really lovely!
This looks amazing it’s given me so many ideas!!
What a fab transformation. Cosy and modern. Love it. Spot on. ❤👍👏
Luke, what a great job. This is will be a lovely spot to spend summer evenings or enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning ❤️
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 🌴😎💙😎🌴
Nice and cozy. I wish I had a balcony, great job
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.
I’m inspired to transform my balcony. Love this 😍
Wow it looks wonderful really great love it.love the seating area so cosy looking x
That is adorable and gives you some outside space.!!
Looks really great guys, well done. I love the idea of a living wall & can you do a shot of what it looks like at night time please 🤗
You did great with such a small space. Inspiring!
Looks great! The 29-29 looks cool and industrial.
Looks lovely and cosy, great transformation!
GREAT JOB😊
I also have a balcony where I live , and it's perfect to enjoy the out door without living your place, especially during these times of quarantine.
Nice that you and zara have your outdoor space and it looks lovely too
Well done 👍 looks lovely,I’m sure it will be used a lot in the nice weather Xxx
Great idea well done Luke and Zara love it 😊👌🏾👌🏾👍🏼
Wow you guys did an awesome job . I love it !!! ❤️
You took your time worked together and everything came out brilliantly.
Looks incredible Luke! Such a lovely space now. Xxx 💖😍👏🏼
Looks beautiful and cozy. I’ve always decorated my balcony. Now I have an upper poach and I laid down artificial turf as well. I can’t wait for warm weather. Great job you two. ❤️👍😄🎉🇺🇸
I Love It . You guys did such a great job . Hope it bring you two lots of relaxing evening's
What a fantastic balcony you have made, well done both of you. You are a lovely couple and you must be so proud of your work, you have made my day. Congratulations on such a beautiful project and video. Bless you both. XX😘😘
What a lovely space for you both to enjoy 😊 that’s genius using the fake Ikea plant In the hanging basket I will definitely be stealing this idea lol have a lovely week x
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.
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.
I love this! Looks fantastic, I will definitely be looking into a grass rug .
Great job! It looks fabulous! Love all of it❤
Absolute fantastic luke and Zara. Hope you enjoy it while your in lockdown xx
Hi guys great job ,great outdoor space , really enjoyed the video xx
You and Zara work really well together when your doing jobs it looks nice and cozy xx
What a transformation ,you’ve both done just brilliantly, not cost a fortune and looks great👏
Totally transformed the space..looks amazing...x
The fake grass is a fab idea it really transforms it. I like what your neighbour has done with the bambo stuff. It’s great you now have a nice outdoor space that you will now enjoy
Balcony looks fantastic and now you can sit and enjoy the summer
Fantastic transformation ,it looks lovely xx.
Hi luke you and zara have did a great job it looks lovely xxx
Looks fab, it will be a nice relaxing spot for the summer evenings.
It looks great, I bet it will look cosy at night with the lights xx
Really lovely you def made the most of your outdoor space love it!
WOUAH ! A Very Good Idea & So Pretty Balcony ... COOL
That is so cute!!! Love the artificial grass idea. Makes a huge difference!
Wow it looks great - what a transformation! 🌿
Ooh this looks great!!! Have you thought about putting a bamboo privacy screen up, along the bars? I think that would really match your aesthetic. Well done guys, I love!! ❤
Thank you so much! We thought about that, our neighbours have done the same. We’re quite high up so privacy isn’t too bad 🙌🏻
It looks fab! Got some really good ideas👍
You and Zara are amazing! Cheers to a party on the patio, from Toronto, Canada! Our restaurant patios
just got the green light to open this past Wednesday. I'm excited!
Great job, such a super cute chill out space.
If you have container plants/tree you can put a full length acrylic mirror on the wall and it will make the balcony look twice the size as it reflects all the items.
Wonderful job. You made it cozy. You have a nice nook to enjoy the fresh air.
Love your makeover. I have made a complete mess of my patio so am going for artificial grass. Enjoy ur space it looks fab.🌸
Ah, that's such a lovely space! Good shout on the grass, it brightened the whole space a lot :)
When I saw the little bowl with the tiny plants I thought "This looks like something from Iwan" and then it turned out it is, haha
thank you so much! It sure was, he’s so handy with plants it’s amazing x
I love it Luke and Zara, great job 👌
Wonderful job. Love it. Well done both of you 👏🏾❤
Very nice. Love the grass idea. 👍
That turned out amazing, so lovely! I really like how the grass turned out, it was a game changer. Great job! Much love from California ❤❤❤
It is small and you did great! Bravo!
Very nice, looks like a perfect “escape”room for some R & R 👏🏻😊👍🏻
Good job upgrading your balcony! I would probably try to wash the walls, the pipes and the railings a bit, but that's just me. I am crazy. I hope you enjoy it!
SO BEAUTIFUL!! you'll have so many lush cozy nights out here!! xx
Just subscribed, lovely transformation! Love how you have utilised the space to now have seating and storage area and a dining area! 🙌🏻 enjoy!
I can't believe how much functionality you've put into that small space. Wonderful!
Omg I've been waiting for this ! Looks amazing well done and enjoy 👏
That looks so different, well done you two. xx
This is very cute. I'm gonna do mine too and gradually get more and more plants. I think your balcony will continue to evolve. I don't have a roof on mine but I want one.
Beautiful transformation! You made tiny space - just fabulous!
Perfect ...everything is in budget . Got some ideas for my balcony 👍🏻
Looks fantastic, gives me some ideas for my small bedroom balcony !
Love it ! you and your gf have done a great job ! x
Wonderful. Hope you enjoy many lovely days and nights out there. Great job
This is the best makeover video of anything ever!!!
Fantastic transformation... loved this xx
You both did an amazing job, it looks so cosy
Wow! What a difference, amazing transformation! 😍
❤️What a lovely space. Here are a couple of extra suggestions - try hooking the rosemary planter over the top rail of the fencing (on the outside) so that you have more floor space plus you get to see and smell the rosemary more easily. Also, these old drain pipes could be masked if you wound something around them like raffia or fake ivy.
Looks great! The white paint did an amazing job of making the space more welcoming. But some flowers are definitely needed, maybe some petunias or violas. Something low maintenance that still add a pop of color aside from green.
What a difference - and because of the little lights even a great place for long nights. Your channel is an inspiration, liked and subbed 👍
Wow! That's looking really great! I've got the same table and chairs and I've always got problems opening the chairs 😂😂😂. It's not difficult and you don't need strength but you've got to get it right. I'm loving it! 😍 even the industrial look is great. That wall I do think needs something too. You could put hanging pots like in Spanish patios or I know!! How about making yourself a herb garden !!! With all your cooking you'd have fresh herbs. Take care, lots of love ♥️♥️
That’s amazing, really good transformation,
