1. Less is more
Plan your balcony like you would any other room. Rather than going just for armchairs and sofas, create a jaunty mixture of lamps, cushions, and rugs. Make your seating comfortable - opt for foldable tables and chairs that can be removed to create space when needed. Choose textiles that are appropriate for all-weather or wouldn’t be ruined by a little summer shower.
2. Don’t forget the floor
With everything else arranged to perfection, it’s just as important to ensure that your floor goes well with your decor choice. Adding a rug or laying out faux grass on the balcony floor will help the floor from heating up during the sunny days, not to mention the extra touch of panache.
3. Light it up
During the summers, adding lights to the balcony would be the last thing on your mind - but it sure makes a difference! Using blinds and curtains during the day bring down the heat while adding tealights, candles, and lanterns can help you set the perfect atmosphere to spend your nights outdoors. Opt for lights that can be easily shifted indoors in case of a change in the weather.
4. Green, green, and greener
Not only do plants help in bringing a very fresh and energetic feel to your balcony, but they also help in monitoring the heat. You can never go wrong with the classic succulents along with an array of colorful flowers. Use subtle yet stylish planters and vases to make the space look even more alluring. Add greenhouses and multi-tier planter stands to reduce unwanted clutter.
5. A cozy touch
A comfy sofa, an all-weather blanket, a comfy rug on the floor, a few colorful cushions, with string lights and tea candles can create the perfect ambiance for spending the starry summer nights. Trust us when we say, this will be the perfect place to enjoy with your favorite book or simply snuggle with your loved ones on a peaceful summer evening.
6. It’s time to BBQ
Nothing says summer more than the defining scent of some delicious barbecue! With mini-grills made easily available, make your summer parties more pleasurable. Fix your grill pit to one of the corners, choose fold-able tables and chairs to manage the space, glam up with some lights and be ready to have a delightful dining experience.
7. Summers are for tans!
Looking forward to that gorgeous summer tan? What better way to enjoy a sunny summer day than to bask in its glory? Adding a sunbed, hammock or swing chair to your balcony decor can upgrade your summer balcony within a matter of seconds. Outdoor fun doesn’t have to be limited to big backyards and lounge spaces. With a little creativity and the right furniture, transform your balcony to resonate the summer vibes while you soak in the sun. And something tells us, this is exactly what your soul needs this summer!
