Folding furniture, one of the great secrets

It is true that it is very nice to have a table with chairs on the balcony, surrounded by plants, but the space is what it is, and it can be a nuisance when you feel like going out for a while to take a breath. For this reason, furniture must be folding . They are ideal for decorating small balconies; after using them you pick them up and put them aside until the next time you need them. This, on the other hand, will come in handy when you need the balcony for something else, and it will also give you the feeling that it is bigger.  

Unify the balcony with room

Have you ever thought about how you could annex the balcony to the living room? Just close it and remove the divider doors, which will give you a balcony with a little more space. On the other hand, this unification will also make the room that connects to the balcony seem much larger . So, if you have a small living room or bedroom, do not think about it and invest in closing the balcony. Over time you will notice the advantage.  

Add some plants to bring life

That the balcony is the ideal place for plants, because of the sunny hours and the rain, we all know it. The problem? That we tend to overload it with too many plants, wasting it. Consider putting a vertical garden on the walls, especially if the balcony is very small, or a pair of oversized plants to add color to the corners. If you do not like to worry about gifts, buy cacti that are very resistant and need little water. Of course, a species that does not become very large because if not, over time you will have to change its location.   

Play with the textiles

Have you decided that the balcony will only be an area you go out to once in a while and you don't mind that the furniture is there all year round? Well, we are going to give you a tip to make the space look a little bigger: playing with the textiles. The chairs, or hammocks, cover them with beautiful colorful cushions, trying to make white stand out more than the secondary color. On the other hand, adds a rug under the furniture, to match the fabric of the seats. Remember that, as it goes outdoors, the carpet has to be made of a material resistant to the rays of the sun and rain, such as vinyl. Regarding the type of furniture, since they will be in sight, do not buy plastic furniture. Take a little risk with wicker or bamboo chairs / armchairs, as they are more elegant, and a nice round table in the same style. We do not advise you to buy a glass table, as it will break down in a few months. The other option is to make furniture with pallets, something that is very fashionable among modern decorators. You can make a bench in the corner of the balcony, cover it with a fluffy cushion and back, set the table, and add a couple of chairs. And ready! You already have a fantastic space to go out for breakfast in the morning or dinner on summer nights. What would you like to add an umbrella? No problem, since it is easy to find models that hold on the balcony railing . You will never have to worry about the sun again!
