Tips for decorating a balcony

When starting with a decorative project, the first advice we give you is to choose the type of flooring carefully. This point is, to a large extent, a determining factor in achieving the desired environment. Natural wood, ceramic, imitation stone tiles or even artificial grass are just some of the suggestions that we offer you. If the balcony already has a useful floor, the rugs can be a very attractive differentiating element as they bring color and a feeling of comfort to the space. If we opt for their use, we must make sure that they are outdoors since they will be more resistant and will have greater durability.

Another factor to consider is the type of furniture to choose and, logically, this should be in accordance with the size of the balcony. Small and functional pieces, folding or multifunctional furniture, such as convertible table benches or with storage capacity, become the perfect solution for a small terrace. If you have a large space, with robust furniture combined with textiles and cushions, you will get an extension of the living room itself. If what we want is to achieve a carefree atmosphere, with the use of mats, cushions, stools and rugs we will be able to create a great contrast of colors with which we will obtain a chic and bohemian decoration.

If there are elements that we cannot (nor should) give up in decorating a balcony, they will undoubtedly be plants and pots. Through them we will create a small oasis where we can relax while obtaining a corner full of life. Although the dimensions are small, we offer you very ingenious solutions: shelves, vertical gardens, hanging baskets or supports for planter boxes. Even horticultural lovers will be able to execute their projects without any difficulty. With a simple planting square, planting our own urban garden has never been so easy. As you can see, it is not difficult to get an infinity of products in different formats, materials and colors capable of adapting to specific needs and spaces.

With regard to the lighting of outdoor spaces, it should be noted that it is of vital importance when creating a truly cozy and suitable environment for rest and relaxation at any time of the day. An appropriate light with products that are themselves decorative elements (candle lanterns, hanging lanterns, garlands or beacons), will make our balcony a unique place created for enjoyment. A whole world of possibilities to discover, why type of lighting do you opt for?

Last but not least, privacy is one of the reasons why we do not usually give all the use we want to our balcony. If you want to have some privacy, another Poolfunstore advice that we offer you is the use of decorative lattices or of cane, wicker or bamboo closings. Although it is true that such a solution can affect aesthetics, a good idea is to place climbing plants in order to achieve a much more natural appearance. If this proposal does not completely convince us or it is simply not allowed, we can always go back to Mother Nature since the fact of placing some pots that strategically cover the visible areas will considerably isolate us from the outside.

From Poolfunstore council we hope that this post has been useful to you. Do you dare to get down to work?
