Whether big or small, balconies have a lot of memories and stories etched to it. Be it the late night conversations with the bestie or simply a silly argument with friends or even late night parties, patios bring about elegance to any area. We have time and again touched on bedroom, living room, kitchen, kids’ room or even indoors while talking about home décor ideas. Not everybody gets a chance to enjoy the feel of or view from a balcony, only reason being the space factor. These days it costs a fortune to buy even a small apartment. Anyhow, let’s not get into the real estate part of it.

We have easy, affordable and smart ideas for small balcony makeovers, which you would absolutely love.
The Furniture
Well comfortable and good looking furniture can brighten up even a moderately designed space. You don’t have to invest money in buying new furniture. Make optimum use of what you already have. Look for old sofa or chairs in your storage see if it needs to be repaired and tada you are all set to place it in your balcony. If you have vintage furniture, make use of it. We all know how trendy vintage stuff looks. However, for small balconies we highly recommend considering furniture that are light weight and also space saving. That’s why foldable metal chairs are best for small spaces. Open them when needed and fold them and hang on the walls when not required. Easy, affordable and space saving.

Accessories
Make place for color accents – accessories. Be it a small rug or cushion covers or paintings or even lights or a table lamp or curtains or a center piece or plants (which we will talk about in detail in the coming segment), make sure these accents are colorful and vibrant. These easily steal one’s attention and also make the area look and feel bigger.

Plants
Plants have this incredible ability to brighten up a space without making efforts. And you clearly are aware of the plethora of plants and flower and the kind of pots one could use. Making room for fresh air is the sole purpose of a balcony. Then why not add plants to it for the desired results!! You get beautiful colorful pots made of concrete or wood. The pot placement could be a combination of aerial and ground. Don’t forget to timely maintain them for a lasting freshness.
