Decorating Ideas for Small Balconies

Balconies give our homes room to breathe and, especially on warm days, offer the quickest connection with nature. We thought it was time to focus on these spaces that we sometimes neglect. Why not roll up your sleeves and decorate a charming, peaceful corner that is truly your own?Balconies have become increasingly small, particularly with newer urban development, and less focused on enjoyment than before. Often used as storage and devoted to the home rather than ourselves, they deserve to be relieved of that burden! In this article, we explore what we can do for small balconies.

As with any small space, a thoughtful, practical approach should be our first aim. Creating a balcony that stays tidy and comfortable calls for careful consideration. The first step towards a calm scheme without visual noise is colour.Every balcony carries its share of daylight, but within a small footprint it needs a little help. The greatest favour you can do for a space that can quickly look cluttered is to choose calm, light shades. Using the balcony wall colour as your starting point is the most considered solution. Alternatively, a wood-led or neutral palette can also work well.

We want plants, the greatest asset of these miniature outdoor corners, to take pride of place on balconies. Taking inspiration from vertical storage, you can create a botanical garden on the wall. Remember to set aside a corner for plants that complete your balcony décor.We recommend plant stands with shelves or macramé plant hangers suspended from the ceiling to establish a distinctive balcony atmosphere.
