Designing an open balcony: our advice

To transform your outdoor space, even a small one, into a pleasant living area, clever balcony decoration proves essential. To take full advantage of it, opt for furniture adapted to the dimensions of your balcony. Then add a parasol or a shade sail to protect yourself from the sun and prying eyes. Thus equipped, your balcony becomes an ideal space to host your loved ones or simply to relax in complete tranquility.

 

Tips for creating a cozy atmosphere on your balcony

To turn your balcony into a cozy space, it is essential to create an intimate atmosphere. To avoid prying eyes from your neighbors, use plants to block the view. Bamboo and climbing plants in pots are perfect for this. By adding a rug and a few cushions on the floor, you get a very comfortable and welcoming space.

 

Ideas for arranging an 8 m2 balcony

To optimize an 8 m2 balcony, consider using the vertical space. On the floor, opt for bulky cushions that are easy to stack or foldable furniture. Install shelves on the walls to display your flower pots and create a vertical garden. To preserve your privacy, add screen elements or leafy plants to mask the view.

 

Tips for a pleasant balcony

If you want to transform your balcony into a pleasant space, opt for color harmony. Choose a main hue and play with its different shades. Select matching furniture, add a few cushions in the same tones, then enhance the whole thing with colorful plants. You will thus obtain an elegant and welcoming balcony.

 

Modernizing a balcony

To modernize a balcony-terrace, start by renovating the walls and floors with contemporary materials like concrete or metal. Add synthetic grass and pots with a modern design for your plants. Then, enhance the space with accessories featuring graphic patterns such as cushions, rugs, and lamps.

 

Wall decoration for a balcony

For original wall decoration on your balcony, explore different creative ideas. Hang potted plants, attach wood or metal panels, or add a string of lights for an atmospheric touch. Shelves are also practical for displaying decorations.

 

Layout and decoration of a balcony-terrace

The layout of a balcony-terrace is simple and creative, even with a small outdoor space. Add furniture, a parasol, and plants to create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.

 

Dining area on the balcony

Even with a small 3 m² balcony, it is possible to create an open-air dining area. Opt for an adjustable balcony table or a small coffee table surrounded by floor cushions for a bohemian atmosphere. Comfortable garden armchairs or an elegant garden sofa are perfect for hosting guests for outdoor aperitifs. To protect yourself from the sun, consider a shade sail or a semi-circular parasol against the wall. Then enjoy your meal outdoors in a friendly atmosphere.

 

Setting up a mini-garden on your balcony

If you love gardening but have a small balcony, don't despair! You can still indulge your passion and turn it into a decorative activity.

Adapt your choice of plants according to the exposure of your balcony and the space available. Some plants, like bamboo, are ideal for masking overlook and creating a trendy green wall.

Pallets can be an economical and modern solution for decorating your balcony with plants. And to grow your favorite small plants while adding a decorative touch, opt for a mini greenhouse. This will allow you to protect your flowers or even grow a few vegetables like tomatoes or aromatic herbs for the kitchen.

 

Tips for decorating an outdoor balcony

Arranging your balcony is a great way to make the most of your outdoor space! Designix offers you various decoration ideas to beautify your apartment balcony and invites you to relax.

 

Light up your balcony

At nightfall, your balcony comes alive with a soft and soothing light, perfect for summer evenings. Make sure to properly illuminate your balcony with suitable lighting to fully enjoy these moments.

If you have created a bohemian atmosphere that extends onto your balcony, string lights can add a Zen touch to your space. Hung on the railing or suspended from a wall, they offer a soft light that delicately illuminates your outdoor space.

For slightly brighter lighting, a terrace lamp can be a good option. LED wooden lanterns are rechargeable thanks to solar energy accumulated during the day, thus offering an ecological and practical solution. You can also opt for a portable lamp, which diffuses a warm white light and can be recharged via a USB cable, offering wireless use.

With their elegant design and practicality, Designix terrace lamps are an excellent choice to accompany your summer evenings as soon as the nice weather arrives.
