The Ultimate Guide to Making Your Balcony Feel Larger

To most people, a small balcony quickly becomes a dumping ground for their house. A place where unwanted furniture, dead house plants, and half-drunk coffee cups live out the rest of their days. However, did you know there are ways you can make even the smallest balconies feel open and spacious? If not, then you have reached the right blog.

Today, we will give you tips on how a few minor changes could help you make your balcony feel much more extensive and spacious than it is. From adopting minimalism to installing glass railings for the balcony, here are some important tips you must remember.

Stick To Minimalism

We understand that minimalism is not the perfect style for everyone. But sometimes the saying "less is more" can be true. If your balcony is small or running tight in space, too much décor and other elements could make it seem smaller and often cluttered.

If you want to make your balcony appear bigger, try adding one primary focal point, like a bench, along with a few finishing touches that complement it. Ensure you keep only the essential furniture on your balcony so that you and your guests have more space to move around.

Adding A Rug

Many people don't know this, but throwing a loud rug on the floor can help make your balcony seem much larger. However, it's important you select the right size and pattern. Straight lines and other geometric shapes often work best for small balconies. Think about what you know about weaving vertical or horizontal stripes.

That said, you must remember that there is no one-size-fits-all regarding how much pattern will help. A well-placed rug and a couple of cushions can do a lot for your balcony. However, if you select something that has a lot of patterns, it could make your balcony seem distracting and overwhelming.

Installing Glass Railings

If your balcony currently has a railing that blocks the view, we suggest you consider installing hospitality glass railings instead. These railings not only give you and your guests an unobstructed view but also allow natural light to pass through easily and make your balcony seem more spacious.

While many people think Glass is delicate, this is far from the truth. Glass used to make railings can easily withstand the test of the elements and time. Once you install glass railings, you will never again have to worry about rust or rot. Not to mention, they are also very easy to care for, offering years of service without compromising their looks.

Consider Getting A Hanging Chair.

Lifting things off the floor is the best way to utilize space without compromising your balcony's floor. If possible, we suggest you consider hanging a swing chair on your balcony to create the illusion of more space. You will need a covered balcony for this since a swing chair that comes with a stand will defeat the purpose.

Another option you can consider is using a hammock. The best part about this is that you can easily take it down once you use it to make your balcony seem larger.

By incorporating these tips into your balcony, you can easily make your balcony seem much larger and spacious.
