Shelving unit
To save space, place a shelving unit against one of the walls. By doing this, you cover up the wall and it looks nice too! Place some reed baskets at the bottom, to store a few small things like a rug and a couple of pillows. At the top of the shelving unit, you can put a lot of different plants to create your own urban jungle balcony. And finally, add a macrame plant hanger.
