If you have space for a small corner sofa on the balcony, you are lucky!
- Furniture for the small balcony
Logically, you cannot place large garden furniture on the limited outdoor area. It is better to choose smaller pieces of furniture, such as a round table and folding chairs, a small bench or just a few stools are enough in most cases. All furniture must be either made of wood or plastic, iron fittings here and there are also welcome. These materials are weather resistant so the hot summer sun won’t damage them. In rain and wind, you can leave them outside on the balcony. Only the textile items such as seat pads or small carpets have to be brought into the dry during a thunderstorm. Hanging tables, half tables or side tables are further options that can also be considered when designing the small balcony.

A folding table and two folding chairs are enough for numerous cozy hours outdoors

A hanging table is a modern solution. There is enough space for the wine glasses!
- Green balcony
Of course, green plants are a must on every balcony (if it is not only used as storage space!). There is space for this not only on the floor and on the balcony, but can also walk vertically with the greenery. Hang beautiful flower pots or hanging baskets on the wall and put the hanging flowers in the limelight! If you have enough space for a flower shelf, this is where you can arrange your flower pots. Make an effort to create a consistent picture. A lot of green not only calms the eyes, it brings you harmony and inner balance!

- Choose the right decoration for the small balcony
Last but not least, we want to draw your attention to the appropriate and attractive decoration on the small balcony. Of course, this depends on the furnishing style of the outdoor area. We would recommend small, inconspicuous decorative items such as a simple wall clock, small hangers, candlesticks and lights, vases with cut flowers on the table or side table. All of these decorative elements complete the look and express your individuality. Because when designing the small balcony you can show your style, taste and character very clearly and, thanks to your creativity, create a real open-air oasis where you can enjoy the break.
