When rushing through urban everyday life we long for contact with the outdoors in our free time. For some this is possible even when staying at home, because they benefit from a balcony or terrace in the city.

These small spaces are true gems for many and make the apartment much more interesting. Have you ever thought about having breakfast outside enjoying the morning sun? Well, thanks to the balconies this is possible in the cities.

Inspired by this idea let me show you some options to decorate balconies and ensure comfort outdoors without leaving your home …

Sometimes a simple pavement like these tiles, comfortable and stylish chairs, a small semi-circled table and of course sunlight. This is enough to enjoy this highly appreciated small area. But there are other options…

To feel at home and not having to put your shoes on is great if you use a deck like SAGIPER and a comfortable rug. A small table and a comfortable chair allow you to enjoy comfortably the outdoors. You can spend the afternoon reading your favorite magazines. The direct contact with nature will make you feel much better when living in the city and for this very reason potted plants are very common, and the balcony is the ideal place to have them. You can choose a device that occupies almost no space and the impact is fantastic…

Wooden ladders are trendy but as you can see, it is not only in the bathroom or in the interior of the house, these are also very practical on the balcony for example to hang that blanket that you will need when the sun goes away and the cold sets in.

A swing can be both very beautiful and comfortable to take a nap and have a privileged view.

You can also choose a hammock…

The cacti are also super trendy and add green to your balcony, these are plants with very interesting shapes and require little maintenance, so they may be the solution for you if you do not have the habit of watering the plants, for example.

A lunch with friends is also possible even with limited space, take as an example this table which is simply a wooden structure, what really matters is be creative, anything is possible…

At night the city exudes charm and so does your balcony, decorate it with lights, candles or lamps, you will love the effect.
