How to Add Style and Function to Your Balcony

Kenneth Stevenson 3 min read

Do you currently live in a loft that features a balcony? A balcony or patio is a huge selling feature and one that people often pay a premium for. It’s your slice of the outdoors that you don’t have to share with others, so of course, you want to make the most use of the space possible. We’ve got some fabulous tips on how you can add style and function to your balcony.

Outdoor Proof Furniture Makes the Space Useable

A nice touch on any balcony is furniture, whether it be a single chair, a bench, or a cute little bistro set. This adds enjoyment and usefulness to the balcony, and can even be perfect for entertaining. To ensure the furniture holds up, make sure to shop for outdoor furniture specifically, such as these pieces from VidaXL. Outdoor furniture will have no problem standing up to a variety of weather conditions and will be long-lasting and durable.

If you want to protect the pieces further, you can purchase outdoor furniture covers that are easy to pop on and off as needed.

Use an Outdoor Carpet as Décor and Design Help

One trick that designers often use is to place an area rug in a room to bring a design concept together and help create a zone or space. The same practice can be used on your balcony. Many beautiful outdoor rugs will add a pop of colour, interest, and texture to the balcony while pulling your vision together.

Extend the Use of the Balcony with Outdoor Lighting

Another important feature is outdoor lighting. This allows you to enjoy the balcony in the evening hours without having to retreat inside.

There are a variety of lighting options available, and you may need to check if there are any restrictions or rules for the loft complex.

When choosing the style and colour of lights to install, think in terms of ambience. You want something that casts soft lighting, so warm yellow light is usually ideal. You can also use wired, solar-powered, or a combination of both.

Plants and Flowers Bring a Sense of Nature to the Balcony

While the balcony puts you in touch with the outdoors, it’s a little different than a ground-level garden space. You don’t have grass and nature surrounding you, but you can still make it feel more natural. Make use of oversized planter pots and boxes and fill them with in-season annuals and a collection of perennials. Choose items that are complimentary colours and bloom at different times of the year, so you always have colour and interest.

For balconies that don’t get a lot of natural sunlight, be sure to choose flowers, plants, and bushes that can thrive in part to full shade conditions. You don’t want anything too high maintenance that you need to be worried about.

The Balcony of Your Dreams Awaits

If you are lucky enough to have a balcony off your loft, why not take full advantage of the outdoor space it offers and infuse it with style?
