Having a balcony is amazing, but it's also not unheard of for it to be small and cramped.
Here are 12 furniture and decor ideas designed to help maximize your balcony or small outdoor space.
Having your own private balcony is a huge plus. You begin to dream of all the coffee and little croissants (in your robe, of course) or the intimate dinners you can enjoy, but having a small outdoor space means being super intentional with every square inch. It's likely you won't have room for both an outdoor sectional and an outdoor dining table.
Many balconies have exceptionally little wiggle room, but that doesn't mean you can't jazz it up tiny-house style with furniture designed for small areas and even decor that can hang from the walls or railings so it's not taking up precious floor space.
Keep day dreaming because your little coffee and croissant date is about to come true.
Here are 12 pieces of furniture and decor for your small balcony:
This foldable wicker table attaches directly the railing of a balcony, porch, or deck to be used as a personal desk or coffee table. It can be folded down when it's not in use, and is weather-resistant and waterproof so you won't have to worry leaving it outside either.
This adorable wall planter set can fit three plants however you want both horizontally and vertically. These small planters are perfect for potting herbs or flowers.
This indoor/outdoor grill is perfect for small spaces since it's electric powered, meaning no need to worry about charcoal, propane, or fire. Its stand is removable so you can grill on the balcony floor, small table, or even countertop.
Chances are, if you have a balcony, there is another one directly next to you. A privacy wall or screen can help you get the most out of your tiny balcony. Each panel is scratch proof and weather resistant, so your space will stay beautiful overtime.
If your balcony is several stories up, chances are you're far away from grass for your dog to easily relieve himself or herself. The Fresh Patch can fit in the corner of your balcony so your dog can use the bathroom whenever he or she needs. The entire product is disposable, so it can be thrown out after a few weeks and a new patch laid down after.
If you don't have any wall space to hang a vertical garden, try attaching this planter to your railing to liven up your small balcony. The metal frame and wicker basket is weather-resistant and is the perfect size to house small perennial flowers.
Attach this mini balcony bar to your railing and maximize the small and narrow space you have. Enjoy drinks on the table top and store your supplies on the small bottom shelf until you're ready for more.
These outdoor LED lights can be controlled via remote and are also waterproof. You can wrap them around the railing of your balcony to create a more cozy feeling without worrying about large glaring lights in your face.
Not only are bean bag chairs comfortable, but they can be smushed and morphed to fit the space you have more easily than a metal chair. Each chair is filled with EPS beads and the cover is fade-, mold-, UV-, and weather-resistant.
These cup holders can attach to any table or railing to maximize space without compromising function. Each can hold up to 30 ounces and cups or cans that are 3-inches in diameter, or any other object as a matter of fact.
These Teak wood interlocking tiles are perfect to give your small space some character. Because they connect to each other, you can control how large or small you want your flooring to be. Whether you want to create a solid floor for your metal grate balcony or create a separate section, these are a great solution.
