If you only have a balcony, this is perfect because this is a great little space that you can use without much effortmake it beautiful and invitingcan.

Create a cozy atmosphere with light
In winter the evenings are longer, so it's definitely worth thinking about patio lighting. The right light creates atmospheric accents that immediately influence the atmosphere on the terrace. We particularly recommend warm light, which can come from both natural and artificial sources.
Candlelight, for example, warms a room instantly, if not literally, then certainly psychologically. Twinkling fairy lights, on the other hand, create a cozy atmosphere by creating strong, contrasting shadows and beautifully framing your chosen space.
You can give your outdoor area a very special glow with fairy lights, lanterns, light stars and other LED decorations. Use the lights specifically and try to emphasize the decoration.
The outdoor fire pit is also an essential element in winter. There is no more beautiful light than the flames of a fire to enhance the atmosphere and create a relaxed mood. Whether made of stone or metal, fired with wood or gas, on the wall of the house or directly on the terrace, the outdoor fireplace becomes the star of the winter. Surround it with seating such as chairs and benches to enjoy the cozy warmth. Make surethe firewood on display nearbyand you get a beautiful, natural winter decoration for the terrace.
