Design a balcony – balcony furniture and balcony plants for a natural look

A strong trend has made its way into design art in the last year: masses of people have tried to bring the interior outside. Especially in summer, the outdoor area has become an open-air living room for millions of outdoor lovers. This trend will continue. That's why we want to be of maximum help to you and give you a few useful tips on how you can design your balcony.

First, think about what exactly do you need? – Fresh air, comfortable furniture, pleasant light and lots of greenery, right? The best orientation would be south or west so that you can stay sunny and warm even in winter. If you have a south or west facing balcony, you are a lucky person! You can spend many pleasant hours there if you turn it into a place of relaxation for you. Our advice to you would be: start with a comfortable furniture set. Upholstered cushions should also be included, but it is important that they are waterproof and can withstand external weather conditions.

We are all aware of the advantages of having our own outdoor space - it is not only a place to relax, but also offers us the opportunity to get some fresh air all year round without leaving our own four walls. However, it is not always large enough to be used as an extended dining room. But you can still equip it stylishly and functionally. The functionality of the furniture plays a decisive role in its selection, coupled with the space-saving properties of the furniture. Folding chairs and folding tables are particularly recommended for smaller outdoor areas. Now there are ones on the market made of different materials and of good quality, they save space, you can place them outside without worry because they are weatherproof and can easily stand there in the strong sun and rain.

If you have more space, you can hang a hammock or place beach chairs or lounge chairs there. It all depends on your own taste and preferences here!

Another important factor that should not be underestimated is light. In the hot summer it is much more pleasant to sit under a parasol instead of in the strong sun. You also have other options for providing shade outside, including awnings and shade sails. And when it comes to suitable lighting in the evening, then we have to consider lanterns, torches, fairy lights or floor lamps for outdoor use. Do you want to organize a dinner for two outside? Then do it by candlelight, yes! So romantic, so beautiful!

The floor covering has now become just as important as in the living room. The main goal is to also turn this part of the apartment into a comfort zone. There are some good options for you to choose from here: first of all we have to mention the tiles, they are easy to maintain and will last for years. Just keep in mind that they can get very hot under the bright sun in summer. If this bothers you and you consider it a major disadvantage, then you need to reconsider your choice of flooring. There are high-quality wooden panels that can be assembled with one click. The wooden covering can add a warm and natural accent. How do you like the idea? Great, isn't it?

Beautiful balcony flowers and green plants can transform your seemingly boring area outside into a green paradise. They also spread an intoxicating scent during their flowering period and create a cozy atmosphere in which to relax. Make sure you have attractive and colorful pots and flower boxes in which the balcony flowers can show their full splendor.In sunny places are geraniums, hanging petunias, oleander among the favorites. Clematis and ivy, which bring lots of greenery, are also easy to care for. Many housewives also like boxes where fresh culinary herbs thrive. But never forget, your balcony plants must always be appropriate in size and orientation. This requirement is particularly important when planting there.

As you can see, how you decorate your outdoor space depends entirely on you. We wish you many pleasant hours outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunny days outdoors!
