Decorating functional small balcony
In our apartments in buildings, we are used to using the balcony as a storage room, a place to dry laundry and, at best, a small garden for a few potted plants. But also,we could use its surface to arrange a small oasis of relaxation. Decorating the balcony means more than a coffee table and two old chairs that you don’t want to throw away. This room has great potential. With a little creativity, a few well-chosen pieces of furniture and some ideas to inspire you, you can turn an ordinary balcony into your favorite place in the whole house.
Before every arrangement of the interior, including the exterior, it is necessary to carefully plan everything. Think yourself about all the options, especially the ones you like the most. Only that way you know how to choose the best option, that will not only be the result of your emotions but also of functionality. Namely, someone’s balcony is used primarily for growing plants – flowers and spices, someone would like to have a space for drinking morning coffee or evening socializing. In all these needs, the aesthetic dimension is very important.
Details are preferred, but watch the quantity
This is especially true for small balconies, where the disadvantages are even more noticeable. Details such as jars of flowers and spices, lanterns, and cushions are welcome, but too many details can create disharmony and clutter. In addition, large pieces of furniture can completely suffocate it. Round tables, folding tables attached to a fence or facade, folding chairs, a bench against a wall or fence, avoiding exclusively dark shades are important, when decorating small balconies. A good solution for narrow balconies is a box that you will place on one or both sides and cover it with pillows or padded sponges. You will get more places to sit, than if you had put chairs.
