DÉCOR IDEAS FOR BALCONIES AND TERRACES
A balcony is where we go to refresh ourselves, spend joyful alone time, and enjoy the beauty of the scenery around our homes. Whether you’ve got a porch, patio, balcony, or terrace, they are an outdoor extension of your living space. As such, it’s important not to overlook your balcony or terrace in your design plans. Creating a comfortable outdoor space to relax is good for your soul and at Wayne’s Home furniture store in Norfolk, we are here to help you outfit yours.
HOW DO YOU USE YOUR BALCONY OR TERRACE?
The list of activities we use them for go on and on. We love balconies, and we try to make them more useful and beautiful. Join us today as we offer some practical ideas about how to decorate them.
- Taking a break,
- Having a meal or drink.
- Watching the scenery,
- Growing plants.
BEAUTIFY YOUR LITTLE BALCONY WITH PORTABLE CHAIRS AND TABLES
If you are living in a small apartment in a crowded city, or your balcony is very small. Don’t fret! With effective planning and practical furniture, you can create a comfortable, tiny balcony. Most newer buildings feature French-style balconies. These are small places and most of them don’t have much standing room. You have to make good planning for these small types of balconies. We suggest portable and small tables and chairs. If the balcony is not wide enough for a table, use a small coffee table.
Don’t forget to use decorative plants and lighting options to make the space cozier. Using fancy pillows will definitely make your balcony look trendy. So, take a blanket, settle on a chair, and enjoy your day from your terrace.
CONVERT YOUR BALCONY TO A FOUR-SEASON SPACE
In order to enjoy your balcony during all four seasons, you may need to modify them slightly. Here in Coastal Virginia, we are fortunate to enjoy being out of doors most of the year. But, if you live elsewhere, you may need to consider closing in your balcony or terrace with walls, windows, or screens. Some other solutions to consider include folding windows and sliding doors. Using these options allow you to make it an open space on warmer days, and a cozy place to rest on cooler or poor weather days. Consider a small fireplace for warming up on cold winter evenings. You should use natural components and for furniture and decor as much as you can. For example, you can use decorative stones surrounding the fireplace. And use bamboo furniture that won’t swell or warp in the humidity or rain.
HANG A SWING
If you have enough space on your balcony, don’t miss the chance of installing a swing. You can place a big bench swing for accommodating more people or opt for a smaller hanging swing chair for smaller spaces. The important point is creating a comfortable place to relax. You can also place a modern sunbed, some chairs or a table, and even a hammock if you want. A white net curtain, plenty of plants, and some pink-blue throw pillows will transform your balcony into an Aegean Dream.
OPT FOR TRENDY FLOORING
The trendy flooring for a fancy balcony is currently wooden tiles. They offer a softer natural view and easy cleaning and provide the illusion of your balcony like a garden. You should fit your terrace furniture into this concept by purchasing wooden tables and chairs. For a more classic look and feel, you can use porcelain or ceramic tile for flooring. And, for a perfectly classy surface, marble is the best choice
These are some little but useful tips for you to use on your balconies and terraces. At Wayne’s Home Company, we provide many types of home furniture for all purposes. You can check our website or visit our Norfolk furniture store to find what inspires you.
