Small Balconies and Terraces That Are Perfect for Summer (Part I)

BOY'S RUSSIAN TERRACE WITH A VIEW OF THE PLAIN

This terrace resembles a veranda and offers privileged views of the countryside. Moreover, being protected from the elements, it perfectly suits for relaxing in summer or sunny winter afternoons, with a blanket.

SLUMBER MODE WITH A PLACE SET

This relaxation corner was decorated using two workbenches as a sofa, and in the corner, there is a small table.

TERRACE WITH A VERY COMFORTABLE SUMMER TABLE

The decorator used the long floor of this terrace with views to Costa Brava to create a full and very comfortable summer dining area. To make the best use of space, he chose a large rectangular table and surrounded the terrace perimeter with big planters, to give a sense of greenery and soften the look of the terrace with grey and stone flooring.

BOY'S ANGEL TERRACE

Terraces are always needed, but in a big city they are a luxury. So even if it's small, like this one, you should make use of it. Here the design studio used it with a couple of light chairs, two easily movable side tables and many plants that bring freshness and a feeling of nature.

DINING ROOM OR OUTDOOR DELIVERY?

If your outdoor space is small, you'll have to decide whether to decorate it as an outdoor living room or dining area with appropriate furniture. There is a middle option that allows you to comfortably extend the tables or use chairs as loungers: a tall and narrow table that leaves more space for comfortable armchairs where you can spend time reading.

BALCONY WITH A VIEW OF LA CONCHA BAY

This balcony is very small, but its lack of space is compensated by flawless views of the island Santa Clara in San Sebastián Bay. So nothing hinders the views, hence the railings are made of glass.

LOOK AT THE MEDITERRANEAN

This terrace is not very big, but it's a true watchtower over the sea. Its shape — long and narrow in an L-shape — makes it hard to use, but the decorator didn't want to give up on the amazing views, so she divided the space into two sections: one for relaxation with loungers and a small lounge area with a sofa.

MINI TERRACE FOR TWO

This small terrace shows that it doesn't matter how tiny your outdoor space is — if you have one, you should make use of it! Today there are many solutions for small spaces. A folding table 50 x 50 and a few folding canvas chairs — light and very comfortable options to maximize the use of this space.
