How to decorate a small and elongated balcony

El Decoora We want you to be able to get the most out of your summer next summer. outdoor spaces. even those small balconies with whom you believe impossible to do anything. What if it is also a small and elongated balcony? Even for those we have ideas.

The narrow and elongated balconies, which most of us have in our homes, are a decorative challenge. However, there are many firms today that deal with responding to these needs by providing us with furniture that, with a correct distribution they can make a small, long balcony a nice place to relax or dine.

Think about distribution.

On a small and elongated balcony it may seem that there is little to study but none of that! To properly distribute the space it will be necessary to take into account factors such as door situation, the situation of this with respect to the interior spaces or the movement of the sun.

If the door is in the center and the balcony is long enough you could create two zones, one on each side of the outlet. If the door is on one side, the ideal is to clear the entrance and exit and place all the furniture on the other side. Seems logical, right? Being able to move comfortably on the balcony is key to wanting to spend time on it.

If the balcony is very small, you should also be clear that you probably won't be able to have everything you want on it. Set priorities It will be especially important in these cases. How do you want to use the balcony? Do you prefer to have a space where you can sit comfortably to read, drink a coffee or have a snack? Do you prefer to prioritize a table where you can eat or work? Asking yourself these and other questions will be of great help when choosing furniture.

Set up a bench with storage

If you want your balcony to have space to sit and relax, place a bench on one side. the run banks they are a great alternative to outdoor sofas, much bulkier than these. Now also to the chairs, since they can accommodate more people than you are in less space.

When we have a small and elongated balcony, the best way to take advantage of it is to bet on modular solutions or custom, with storage. This storage space will allow you to store the cushions during the winter or when it rains, in addition to those gardening tools that you may need to take care of your plants.

tropical woods They are the ones that offer the greatest durability outdoors, but you can also opt for other treated hardwoods to withstand inclement weather. And why wood? Because it will bring warmth to your outdoor space and due to its volume it will not represent a great effort to maintain it.

Includes folding furniture

You already have a place to sit, what else do you need to make the space practical? In Decoora It occurred to us that if there is space for two areas on your balcony, you could add an auxiliary table to the rest area and create a small area in the other. small dining room with folding outdoor furniture.

Folding furniture will allow you to have the space in the way you need at all times. Because in addition to folding, this furniture is usually very light, which It will make it easier to reconfigure the space when necessary. Folded they take up very little space, so you can pick them up on the same balcony or move them inside to any corner.

A table and one or two chairs They will provide you with everything you need to enjoy this outdoor space this summer. You can sit down to work, have breakfast, read... Also think that by bringing these folding pieces closer to the bench you can seat up to four people. Square folding tables are the ones that will provide you with a larger surface, in these cases.

Is your balcony extremely small? Then maybe you should give up a square table and bet on a circular or semicircular where two people can dine. Or even a smaller one, for one person, which, fixed to the railing, allows you to place a plate and a glass on it.

Decorate with the right textiles

Color can help you transform a terrace seemingly tasteless. And textiles and accessories are a great alternative to make this space a unique and personal space. In addition, you can change them when you get tired of them without a high cost.

If you are looking for a discreet and serene space, textiles in neutral tones will help you achieve it. Combine two-color textiles in these cases and play with plain and patterned fabrics to break the monotony. Do you prefer to give color to the balcony? Then bet on warm colors like yellow or orange, they will fill your balcony with life! And if you are daring, do not hesitate to combine these with other cold colors such as blue, pink or purple.

That plants are not lacking

A small and elongated balcony does not prevent you from placing plants and enjoying their benefits. These not only bring freshness and color to the balcony, they can also provide privacy. Bet on low-maintenance specimens that can stay outside all year long and that do not have a large wingspan so that they do not steal too much space.
