A balcony is a small oasis of relaxation, a place for socialising or simply a retreat for enjoying nature. The right furnishings make all the difference! We are happy to help you turn your balcony into a cosy, stylish paradise. In this blog article we give you recommendations based on the different ways a balcony can be used. Decide for yourself what you mainly want to use your balcony for, or create a mix of several uses to meet every need.

The balcony as a seating and stool corner

For a cosy seating and stool corner, we recommend folding chairs and folding tables. They are ideal companions for smaller balconies, as they can be stowed away easily to save space. The materials are weatherproof and very easy to clean. Stools are a wonderful way to sit flexibly. They can also be used as a footrest or side table. Stools are a wonderful way to sit flexibly.

The balcony as a seating and reading nook

For a cosy reading corner, we recommend snug lounge chairs that invite you to relax and read. Practical side tables are another great idea — perfect for books, drinks or decorative pieces. And how about a hanging chair as a special highlight? It conveys a feeling of holiday and relaxation.

The balcony as a dining area

If you want to set up a dining area, we have a few great tips for you: a bistro set is a wonderful choice if you want to create a cosy atmosphere. Consisting of a table and two chairs, it is perfect for breakfast outdoors. A height-adjustable table is another great idea. It is highly versatile, serving as both a dining table and a coffee table.

Lively balcony

A lively balcony is the perfect place for long, convivial evenings with family and friends. So that all your guests can linger as long as possible, it is a lovely idea to provide lounge furniture such as a comfortable corner bench or a small sofa with cosy cushions. These come in various sizes, so they can be adapted to the space available.
A folding table is a wonderful thing, too. Whenever you need it, you can simply fold it out and use it for games, snacks and drinks.

A tropical, floral balcony

We have a few more tips for you on how to turn your balcony into a floral, tropical dream. We recommend using decorative elements such as plant stands, vertical shelving or plant stakes. These let you make the most of the space and create room for flowers and herbs. You can also hang up flower baskets to fill your balcony with colour and life. If you'd like it even homelier, you can lay out an outdoor rug as well.
