"Having outdoor space is one of life's greatest blessings - especially if you're living in an apartment with access to a balcony. By definition, a balcony is much smaller than features like a patio or a veranda; after all, it's attached to a building and may be hundreds (or thousands!) of feet off the ground. It can feel tricky to figure out the best use of these small spaces, but editors at Apartment Therapy have seen countless ways to make balconies feel cozy, comfy, and downright luxe - all with room for a gaggle of loved ones."
"No matter their size, balconies are blank canvases. Even if you just have a couple of chairs and one or two decor details, you can create a mini oasis. We've highlighted 10 of the greatest ways real families have used small bistro sets, cozy loungers, container gardens, and outdoor upholstery to transform cramped balconies into al fresco getaways. If you're looking for smart ways to transform your small balcony this summer, look no further than this collection of ideas pulled from real homes featured in Apartment Therapy's House Tour archive."
"If your balcony is sized under 60 square feet, most outdoor furniture can feel comically large (after all, they may be made for backyards or front porches!). Bistro chairs, however, are designed with balconies in mind - many also fold up and out of the way when they're not in use. Even if you don't plan to eat outside, having access to a tabletop via a bistro table can be great for morning coffee or early evening happy hours. This micro Manhattan balcony feels much more spacious"
Balconies are compact outdoor spaces attached to buildings, often far above ground, and can be challenging to use well. They work as blank canvases where even a few chairs and decor details can create a mini oasis. Small balconies can be transformed with bistro sets, cozy loungers, container gardens, and outdoor upholstery that fit limited square footage. Outdoor furniture designed for balconies helps avoid pieces that feel oversized, especially on spaces under about 60 square feet. Bistro chairs and tables can provide seating and a tabletop for coffee or drinks, and many fold away when not needed. Real home examples show that enjoying the outdoors at home does not require much space.
