30 Ways To Turn Your Balcony Into Your Personal Corner

Balconies let you enjoy the sky without stepping outside your home and makes a great place for relaxation after a long day. Even if you only have a tiny balcony, you can turn your little space into a pocket garden, a dining area or even a workstation just by following these simple design hacks!

Here are 30 design ideas for small balconies:

1. Feeling creative? Easily add chicken wire to frames, glue them to the wall and hang your flower pots to create your very own vertical garden.

2. Don’t know what to do with that blank and boring wall? Make it come alive by hanging an eye-catching piece of art and placing in some modern geometric chairs for more spice.

3. Keep it simple. Install a wall-mounted table and shelves to save space and avoid clutter.

4. Going for that Mediterranean feels? Easy! Use a heavily patterned rug as a decorative accent.

5. Welcome the view from the outside and create a feeling of airiness by choosing glass doors that open up the family room to the balcony.

6. Bring the beach vibe into your home! Hang a hammock on your balcony and enjoy taking a nap on a hot summer day. Just be careful not to fall off!

7. Keep your space intimate. If you want to thoroughly enjoy your time alone on your balcony, consider reed fencing to serve as a wall between you and your neighbor.

8. Date night? Add strings of warm twinkling lights in the ceiling for a cozier mood.

9. Turn your balcony into your own dream wonderland. Throw in some furry seat covers and fluffy rug for that “princess” effect.

10. For more intimate and relaxed mood, surround yourself with plants of different heights and sizes. If you can’t find plants that are taller and of more volume, you can always scatter pots on tables and shelves.

11. Bring out the inner child in you! Swing your legs back and forth on this hanging pod chair as you look out the window.

12. Make your tiny space look fun and playful by putting a splash of bold color in a monochromatic room. Opting for a neon color? Go ahead!

13. Laze around this weekend on your all-white balcony. Get a dark solid flooring to get that contrast. Use a bamboo ladder as a rack.

14. No plans this Saturday? Place a round wicker chair on your balcony and feel comfortable as you curl up with a good book. You’re welcome.

15. Create your own pseudo workstation at home. Give your balcony a minimalist approach to have the illusion of an extra space.  Don’t forget to throw in a pot of fresh plants for a boost of creativity.

16. Planning to invite friends over? Give your balcony more character by covering the usual steel railing with metal sheets. Make the party even more fun by hanging colorful paper lanterns on the railings.

17.  Incorporate your personality into your balcony. While keeping your wall clean and minimal, display your favorite magazines and books on a shelf. After all, we love to judge a book by its cover.

18. Get your mind to think creatively.  It’s time you turn your balcony into a study room.

19. Revamp your teeny tiny balcony into a “pillow room” and collapse into the cool softness of the cushions. Weeee!

20. Got a green thumb but lack the space? You can still achieve a zen-inspired pocket garden balcony! Pick a wooden flooring and use pebbles to fill in space around.

21. Install full-length mirrors on your cabinet doors to make the room feel more spacious and inviting. (Just don’t walk into the mirror!)

22. Plant vertically. Decorate your shelves with fresh plants or consider hanging your garden to bring in the greens without occupying too much space.

23. Play with patterns! Lay a striped rug to visually widen the small narrow space.

24. Place the bench on the side and leave the middle area open to stretch the space without crowding the room.

25. Instantly transform your old crates into a couch. Add in colorful throw pillows and throw blankets and voila! There you go.

26. Not enough space to put a fancy furniture? No problem! Pick a vibrant colored foldable chair and TV tray table to brighten up your morning coffee routine.

27. Want to get more out of your tiny nook? Convert storage chests into seats! 

28. Don’t let the small space stop you from putting in a beautiful furniture. Go for a hanging bench swing to compliment the rustic wooden table and floor. We know you want this.

29. Choose window blinds that will filter the light and create a soft-focus, luminous effect.

30. Having a hard time keeping those pillows in place? Use them as backboards instead! Hang those cushions with a curtain rod and you’ll never see those pillows on the floor again.
