Just because your little balcony lacks space doesn't mean it has to lack style! Besides, 

having a balcony for sunny days is a great way to enjoy the sun and stroll around. 

So how do you arrange your little outdoor space and turn it into a real dream spot? 

Space-saving furniture, subdued lighting, stylish maxi plants, trendy cushions? Fill up on decorating ideas to give your mini balcony a new look!

1. Create privacy with plants

To hide a face and create intimacy or simply to brighten up your balcony, plants are perfect. 

Hanging or climbing plants and balconies are the space-saving allies of small balconies. 

Thanks to them, you won't lose any floor space and free up a few precious square metres for your furniture.2. Bet on folding furniture

To make up for the lack of space on a small balcony, opt for folding furniture. Folding table and chairs, folding stools... 

You will be able to set up a dining area very easily for your sunny aperitifs and tidy everything up in no time at all.

3. Opt for practical storage

If you can install a bench with storage, you will combine seating and storage. 

Boxes, hooks, wall or corner shelves and storage units are also a great help for storing your gardening tools, dishes, cushions and more. 

4. Arrange a clever dining area on a small balcony

For the layout of a small balcony, you will have to make a few concessions and choose what is most essential to you, 

namely a lounge-style lounging area or a dining area to enjoy lunches and aperitifs in the sun. 

If you opt for the second possibility, the smart furniture and XS will be the order of the day. Also think about the bar, which can be stuck against a wall to take up as little space as possible. 

An advantage if you have a long balcony!

5. Create a cocooning corner for a cozy little balcony

Would you prefer a mini outdoor living room and a small relaxation area? 

In that case, opt for a very wide bench, which can also be used as a 2-in-1 piece of furniture in which you can put your things, a nice carpet, a soft mattress and some cosy cushions. 

A great idea for a cocooning corner where you can laze around with a book and a cold drink!

6. Dress the floor with a carpet to revamp your small balcony

Carpets can change the atmosphere and look of your balcony in the blink of an eye. 

To be right up to date with the latest trends, don't hesitate to superimpose several carpets of different shapes and materials, a cosy effect guaranteed!

7. Use the wall for the decorative touch in addition

The ideal in a small balcony is to decorate one or more walls to free up floor space. 

Baskets, mirrors, trellis with climbing plants and frames will make all their effect to give charm to your outdoor space.

8. Fall for a pretty light garland

Finally, don't forget to provide soft and subdued lighting to enjoy your little balcony in the evening. 

The light garlands are ideal to give a cosy atmosphere to this corner. 

You can also add a few candles and candle jars to add a touch of magic. 

So, isn't your balcony beautiful?
