5 Tips for Organizing a Balcony

Choose Your Balcony Floor

The balcony floor is an essential part of the space composition. Like furniture, it can be a useful element for visually expanding your outdoor area.

There are several options depending on your preferences, possibilities and budget:

For small open spaces, tile or suspended boards work well to create a floor worthy of a large terrace. They are available in various materials — from wood to composite, including polypropylene. Except for wooden ones, they require no maintenance. Choose what suits you best.

For a grass effect without drawbacks, artificial turf in rolls is sold that can be laid like a carpet on concrete or tile floors. It's resistant to rot and UV, doesn't require watering or maintenance, and is not afraid of moisture. Just vacuum it — and it's like new again. If that seems too complicated or expensive, you can choose an original and... temporary decoration using beautiful rugs! Colorful, graphic, non-slip ones made from knitted rubber material or even with hair, they suit all styles. Moreover, they will highlight your look and visually structure the space.

Choose Functional and Modular Furniture

Depending on the size of your balcony, choose the zones you want to focus on.

After defining these zones — a cozy corner, an area for appetizers or meals, space for flowers or aromatic herbs… Make room for functional and modular furniture! Forget about large pieces to create a small balcony! Folding chairs, plant staircases, comfortable stools and your balcony composition will be nearly perfect!

Green Your Balcony

Think about hanging plants or decorating the balcony railing with flowers and share them with neighbors. When it comes to a vegetable garden, you'll need to choose a suitable and compact container. What is the key to successful small balcony design? Think smartly and save space.

To avoid disappointment, first consult with a gardener depending on the available space and lighting of your balcony.

To save floor space, hanging plants combine space-saving with convenience. In addition, your movement becomes easier. You'll get a vibrant and floral balcony where each plant occupies its own spot without intruding into the rest of the balcony. A good reason to choose this option.

Also consider tall storage with shelves/ladders or even wooden boxes stacked on top of each other.

Light Up Your Balcony

To emphasize your balcony or terrace, the first thing to consider is surface area. The goal here is to light without overloading.

If you have electrical outlets and the floor allows it, you can choose recessed spotlights that will highlight the balcony architecture by diffusing soft and pleasant light. Also consider wall lamps — an interesting alternative that doesn't overload the space.

Decorate Your Balcony

To enhance your balcony decor, add color. Give this outdoor space a real boost using delicate accessories and furniture. For successful effect, start by harmonizing interior and exterior spaces to create continuity between zones.

As for accessories, we suggest collecting cushions, rugs, seating and lighting to create a cozy atmosphere on your balcony. For the interior, consider bedding and pay attention to dish selection.

Finally, combine materials and don't hesitate to use beautiful decorative items outdoors!
