A small balcony pleasant to live in
Let it be said: it is indeed possible to install a dining area on a small balcony! It is even possible to settle there to work. The secret: choose furniture suited to the dimensions and configuration of the premises.
On this small, long balcony, we opted for smart seating: a bench and stools, easy to slide under the table to facilitate passage outside of meal times. Here is a friendly space where you can have breakfast with your family or organize a dinner with friends!
To fully enjoy your small balcony, forget the stackable chairs, practical, but not very aesthetic! Prefer modular furniture, like this set consisting of a bench under which stools can nestle.
On this small balcony, the table is installed against the facade. Designed for this purpose, it has a specific base and a suitable top, which allows you to enjoy a dining area without cluttering up the space.
Folding furniture remains a safe bet for a small balcony. Easy to store after a meal, it allows you to sit on a more comfortable seat for chilling. This type of outdoor furniture also displays light lines, perfectly suited to a small space.
The smart alternative is the folding table to hang on the balcony railing. Do you have a green thumb? Fall for a combined table and planter, which will even allow you to cultivate your favorite aromatic plants!
Mondays in the sun, do you like it? On this small balcony, two separate hanging tables have been combined. Here is a space as practical to have a romantic breakfast as to have two independent workstations!
A small well-organized balcony
Eat, chill and garden, all on a small balcony: and why not? You just have to exploit every available plot!
A corner piece of furniture is enough to flower a small balcony or to install a mini-vegetable garden.
Depending on the balcony configuration, vertical planters offer an equally practical alternative for practicing gardening.
In order to efficiently use the wall surface, opt for a piece of furniture that combines storage and space on which to install hanging pots and planters.
Do you really only have a very small space? Bet on varieties that are compact, but with a strong character! Succulents and cacti will adapt to micro-pots, while bringing a vegetal note to the balcony!
On this small balcony, we opted for a combined storage and table capable of folding up and being very discreet on request. The good idea: to have opted for a suspended model. Because if it is practical, a traditional model posed on feet can also clutter up the space and visually weigh down the decoration.
No question of cluttering up the space with a parasol… and no question of risking sunstroke either! The solution ? A half-parasol, with a base and a canvas suitable for a small balcony, quite simply!
Impossible to find storage adapted to the configuration of the balcony? Dare to DIY! A few reclaimed wood crates, and you will have particularly practical shelves!
A beautiful little balcony
The most common mistake when setting up a small balcony? Think practical, and only practical! Obviously, it is important that your balcony is functional. But if it’s cozy, it’s even better.
No room for the superfluous? Depending on your taste in terms of decoration, you can fall for colorful pieces! Planter or furniture: everything is good to sparkle the decor of your small balcony!
For a micro space, the choice of a clear and bright color is more appropriate. However, you can add a few touches of color by playing with the accessories.
For a small balcony with a gourmet and fun decor, go for the pastel colors!
Artificial grass on the ground and light garlands: this little balcony looks like a hanging garden, and it is good to settle there day and night!
The final touch? A rug – an element that is both decorative and very cozy, essential on a small balcony!
A small bright balcony
To enjoy your little balcony in the evening, it is essential to light it. The most suitable solution simply depends on its configuration.
On this small balcony with luxuriant decoration, the parasol is accessorized with a light garland. A smart solution to enjoy the garden furniture in the evening, without cluttering up the space with table lamps!
No outlet nearby? Adopt the nomadic lamp! Not only does it dispense with any cables, but in addition, you can lay or suspend it as you wish! This option is all the smarter since you can also use this luminaire indoors the rest of the year. You can even take it on vacation, for your evening picnics.
