Spring has officially arrived in Calgary, bringing longer days, brighter skies, and the perfect opportunity to refresh your apartment’s outdoor space. Whether you have a cozy balcony or a spacious deck, now’s the time to create a welcoming spot to relax, recharge, and enjoy the season.

At Trico Communities, all our apartment homes include private balconies or decks—perfect for soaking up sunshine or enjoying your morning coffee. Here are six simple, renter-friendly ideas to help you make the most of your outdoor space this spring:

  1. Add Colour & Personality
    Celebrate the season with cheerful tones and items that reflect your style. Use colourful planters, patterned rugs, or bright outdoor cushions to bring energy to your space. Add personal touches like a tray for tea, a favourite book, or even a cozy nook for your pet.
  2. Go Green with Plants
    Introduce life and freshness with potted flowers, herbs, or small shrubs. Choose hardy plants that can handle Calgary’s changing weather—or opt for low-maintenance options like succulents.
  3. Create a Cozy Seating Area
    A small chair set, a weather-resistant bench, or even a foldable bistro table can transform your deck into a relaxing retreat. Add a cushion or throw for comfort.
  4. Add Ambient Lighting
    Make the most of longer evenings with string lights, solar lanterns, or battery-powered candles. Soft lighting helps create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
  5. Layer with Textiles
    Outdoor-friendly rugs, throw pillows, and blankets add texture and warmth. These details help define your outdoor area and make it feel like an extension of your living space.
  6. Maximize Space with Vertical Décor
    Use hanging planters, wall-mounted shelves, or trellises to decorate vertically—perfect for small balconies. These touches keep things organized while adding a lush, finished look.

Your balcony or deck is more than just extra space—it’s a chance to connect with nature and enjoy the fresh air right at home. With a few thoughtful updates, you can create a beautiful, functional space to enjoy all season long.
