Space-saving balcony furniture leaves room for decoration
Is the balcony your own oasis of peace? Then you have to design it very carefully. Space-saving furniture leaves room for plants and decorations. Folding tables, folding chairs and stools can always be rearranged and are super practical. Add a few pots in bold colors and several flower pots in subtle, neutral shades - and the outdoor area looks inviting and cozy. When it comes to decoration, there are different options to choose from.
Bright flowers to enjoy
The balcony garden does not always have to be large. You can create a blooming oasis even with just a few square meters of balcony space. Flowers and small perennials that are particularly robust and hardy and can even withstand low temperatures are suitable for the balcony. Petunias, begonias, roses, ornamental plants, etc. are popular for outdoor use. The flowering time and location preferences must be taken into account if you want to enjoy a sea of flowers on the balcony!Tall climbing plantscan later serve as a privacy screen and provide partial shade in summer.
Designer flower pots and containers as accents
Designer flower pots are available in many variations - hanging, standing upright, made of metal, plastic or concrete. Anyone who has the choice is spoiled for choice. These don't necessarily have to be bought. You can spice up planters and plant pots with floral or geometric motifs. To do this, use acrylic paints or paint spray.
Space-saving decoration ideas
Everyone would look forward to a spacious balcony, but small and narrow balconies also have their charm. With matching wall decorations, even a narrow area can be accentuated. In addition, it is best to have a balcony floor in a plain color, without a carpet and plain furniture. The decoration is then mainly done with lanterns, lanterns on the coffee table or hanging decorative pieces - for example lanterns.
Which style, which colors?
There are several design options - from classic, to simple and modern, to vintage and shabby chic. The balcony can be cool white, brightly colored or evergreen. Which color palette you choose depends not only on your personal preferences, but also on the lighting conditions.
- A north-facing balconyshould be designed in the lightest possible colors. So that it doesn't look too cool, use powder tones, sand colors, cappuccino and cream. They fit together well and make the area feel cozy. Perfect for this - an oriental lantern and of course a radiator so you can sit outside even on cool evenings.
- A balcony facing eastgets direct sunlight for a few hours. Exotic color palette in turquoise, pink, orange and yellow will certainly make it shine and create a happy mood. Perfect for this – modern furniture made of acrylic or plastic in neutral colors.
- On the south balconya holiday atmosphere can prevail. Parasol, sun lounger, wooden floor in sand color and striped buckets in red and white create the right ambience, casual and relaxed like on a Caribbean island. Perfect for this: water features and Mediterranean plants such as lavender.
- The west-facing balconyDefinitely needs sun protection and water features. Running water evaporates and provides cooling. Perfect for this - palm trees, succulents andheat-resistant flowers.
