ENHANCE THE SPACE
First, it's important to make the most of the available space. If the balcony is narrow, you can position the furniture along the wall , leaving a central passageway. This way, you avoid blocking the passageway and gain more usable space.CHOOSE THE RIGHT FURNITURE
As for furniture, it is advisable to opt for slender and light elements , so as not to weigh down the room, such as shelves (see the Levante series of shelves ).
A perfect solution could also be to choose a bench or corner seat that adapts to the shape of the balcony, so as to maximize the available space.
You can choose functional and space-saving furniture such as folding or stackable tables that can be easily stored away when not in use.
THINK "VERTICAL"
Make the most of your vertical walls, too: use the balcony walls to hang decorative objects orplanters with cascading plants. For example, a vertical garden or a storage shelf can be an ideal solution!
LIGHTING
As for lighting , we recommend soft lighting, such as candles or lanterns. This creates a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for enjoying summer evenings.
It uses energy-saving LED lights to create soft, atmospheric lighting.
THEME AND GREEN
We then recommend choosing a theme for your balcony and using it as a guide for selecting decorative elements. For example, a Mediterranean theme might include warm colors, aromatic plants, and ceramic decorations. A romantic theme is perfect with plants and flowers like Virginia creeper, wisteria, or clematis. The right plants can add color and texture to the balcony and create a relaxing atmosphere.
What if you're not a green thumb?
Don't worry, here's a tip: opt for plants that don't require much maintenance, such as succulents or cacti!
ORDER
Keep the space tidy: For a long, narrow balcony, it's important to maintain order and cleanliness to optimize available space and create a welcoming atmosphere.
Use practical storage solutions such as baskets, storage tables (like the Altea tonda ), organizers, or boxes to keep everything in order, stowed on shelves or in open-air furniture.
