These days, most of us stay in high rise buildings and some of us may be fortunate enough to have a balcony at home.
Even some of us with landed homes have small balconies too.
Therefore, if you’re wondering what you can do with your balcony space, we’ve come up with some ideas.
Most of these small balcony ideas pretty easy to set up and maintain.
We hope you’ll be inspired by these small balcony ideas we’ve come up with!
Remember, they can be adapted and modified to your liking.
A Warm Reading Corner
Setting up a small table on your balcony will allow you to use the space in a practical way.
Furthermore, draping the table and adding a garden chair to the setup makes for a cosy reading corner.
In short, the secret to creating a warm and inviting balcony is to fill it with soft and squishy items, including cushions, drapes and the like.
Here, some tealight candles add a sentimental touch.
Your Personal Grassy Patch
In order to create a more natural, outdoorsy look for your small balcony, you can consider artificial carpet grass.
Make sure it’s the soft type that’s water resistant and easy to clean.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of soil, real carpet grass cannot grow on the floor of your balcony.
However, you can still make it look as real as possible.
Adding a garden seat or two allows you to enjoy this small patch of grass and potted plants in an unencumbered manner.
Simple and Minimalist
Achieving a pretty balcony doesn’t take much.
Actually, you can achieve any aesthetic you want with just two chairs and a table.
Here, there are small potted plants in the corner as decorations.
If you’re a fan of minimalism, this set up will definitely suit you.
Notice that there are also fairy lights encircling the balcony grille. These can be turned on at night to give a warm and magical glow to the space.
Classic Rattan Furniture
In Malaysia where it’s hot and humid, rattan furniture lasts exceptionally well.
Therefore, it makes sense to decorate your small balcony with a rattan chair or two.
Furthermore, wooden furniture like side tables or stools complement these rattan furniture.
Subsequently, you can also add brown clay pots to the mix.
This will, therefore, allow everything to look more congruous.
A Modern Outdoor Workspace
Turning your balcony into a type of patio or deck is always a viable option.
Observe the long benches that are laid out here together with a long table.
Truly, this makes for a comfortable area to sit, eat and even work.
Additionally, foldable pieces that they can be tucked away will be useful in your balcony, especially when you need the extra space.
Furthermore, the use of neutral wood for the balcony floor and furnishings make this feel more like an outdoor space.
Make Your Balcony Shine
In conclusion, your balcony space should not go to waste.
You can take advantage of this space with its natural exposure to the sun and turn it into your own outdoor paradise.
Feel free to make your balcony a happy place for the whole family, parents!
