Prepare your balcony for outdoor living

Want to maximize your outdoor enjoyment and enhance your balcony? Make your outdoor space an extension of your living room and extend the ambiance, color palette, and living comfort outdoors.

Furnishing a small balcony? Go for a grand effect.

Looking for balcony inspiration for a small space? Use the words flexible and multifunctional as a starting point when decorating your balcony. This way, you'll get the most out of your furniture and make optimal use of the available space.

1. With folding garden furniture, you can easily grab extra chairs for guests and put them away in a flash, without them taking up much space.
2. Install a tall cabinet with both open compartments and storage spaces behind closed doors. This way, you can display attractive garden decorations and neatly store items like potting soil and garden tools out of sight, without taking up too much floor space.
3. Choose a garden bench: an ideal place to sit and enjoy the sunshine and also the perfect spot to display your decorations. Think of a beautiful lantern or a lovely potted plant.
4. As a finishing touch, use items that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, so you can move them whenever you like.

Furnishing a large balcony? Make it cozy!

With a large balcony or roof terrace, the possibilities are endless. You have plenty of room for comfortable seating and even create an extra lounge area. Planning on decorating your large balcony? Consider the following tips!

1. First, consider the central spot in your home. Do you enjoy long dinners, relaxing at the table, and playing board games? Or do you often relax on the couch to read, chat, and socialize? Depending on your preferences, you can determine the central spot for your balcony: for example, a (modular) lounge set or a spacious garden table.
2. With parasols or shade cloths, you'll soon have a nice, cool spot, even during the sun-drenched summer months.
3. Create an extra seating area, such as a bistro set for a quick breakfast in the morning sun, or a comfortable armchair for a moment of relaxation.
4. With handy storage furniture like garden sheds, storage benches, or storage boxes, you'll always have everything at hand, from tableware to candles, cushions, and outdoor toys. Long live the outdoors!
