Preventing Claustrophobia

With a tiny balcony it is important not to feel too closed in. Last year I had spectacular window boxes filled with cascading scaveola and jolly hot pink geraniums. But when I sat down out there I was staring straight into this wall of flowers. There was no sense of space or a horizon. This year I have many fewer window boxes draped over the edge of the balcony and I am sticking to whites with the one I have. I have them blocking the ugly view...the pretty view just has a pot of strawberries to peer through. Fresher, calmer, cooler....
