Take advantage of the sunshine and warmer weather to update your balcony decor. Now is the perfect time to give your outdoor living space a stylish spring makeover. Your balcony should feel like a private retreat–no matter the square footage– and with a few creative design additions, your balcony will quickly become your favorite place to be.
These balcony decor ideas will make winter a distant memory and have you ready for a spring balcony refresh.
1. Colorful Backdrop
Start with a bright and bold pop of color on the walls to make your decor and furniture standout. A fresh coat of paint on the walls and ceiling of your balcony gives the entire space a quick refresh, can make even the tiniest of spaces look larger, and the new color serves as the perfect backdrop for your carefully chosen furniture and decor.
2. Swing into Spring
Adding a swing to your balcony is a fun and whimsical way to add personality to your outdoor design. With so many new styles of rope and macrame swings, you aren’t limited to the traditional wooden porch swing on your balcony. However, make sure the swing is properly installed on a support beam before you have a seat and start swinging.
3. Bring a Daybed Outdoors
A daybed is the perfect place to curl up with a great book, the spot you’ll want to claim for your morning coffee, or a place to steal an afternoon nap. Tucking a daybed into a corner of your balcony gives the design a relaxed feel and gives guests a place to sit when you’re entertaining.
4. Pull up a Barstool
With smaller spaces, like a balcony, you’ll need to get creative with seating. Since barstools have a smaller footprint than regular outdoor furniture, you’ll have more leg room and more room to add other decor and furniture.
5. Plenty of Light for the Night
When the sun goes down, you’ll still be able to enjoy your outdoor space by adding plenty of outdoor lighting options like cafe string lights, lanterns and candles. Keep the lights warm and glowy so that the light isn’t too stark and bright.
6. A Colorful Table for Two
Enjoy alfresco meals on your balcony, but have fun with your furniture colors. If you’re limited on space, you can infuse color into your balcony by choosing fun colors on your furniture. A pop of color on a table, bold prints on chairs and even colorful dishes and stemware creates a perfect setting for an outdoor meal.
7. Choose Furniture To Lounge
Soak up the sun by adding loungers to your balcony. When it’s time to relax, you’ll have a place to put your feet up. However, when you’re entertaining, the loungers serve as extra spaces for guests to have a seat.
8. Macrame All Day
Macrame wall hangings and plant holders add a vintage charm to any space, but they work especially well in balcony decor. Not only are they visually interesting, add color and texture, but macrame is suprininsg easy to clean and can withstand living outdoors.
9. Sleep Under the Stars
Use your balcony as the ultimate space to relax by adding a bed to the space. Bringing out a few oversized cushions, stacking pallets for a base, or moving a smaller mattress outside are all easy ways to create a cozy sleeping space on your balcony. Don’t forget to add soft bedding and blankets to make your bed the perfect outdoor sleeping space.
10. The Chair With Flair
We love an egg chair, especially outside. These fun throwback chairs have updated styles, colors and materials that make them great for outdoor living. Add a fun throw pillow and blanket, and this statement chair will quickly become everyone’s favorite seat on the balcony.
11. Bring the Indoors Outside
Use the same design of your living room on your balcony to make sure you and your guests are more comfortable. From cozy seating, great lighting and plenty of throw pillows and blankets, you’ll use your balcony more if you’ve got the comforts of indoors waiting for you outside. If you’re able to move a TV outdoors, you’ll be able to binge your favorite shows while enjoying fresh air.
12. Hang a Hammock
For the ultimate way to relax on your balcony, hang a hammock. Enjoy the great outdoors from your balcony and even in a small space, you can personalize your balcony and make the most of outdoor living. Be sure to check weight, size and the proper way to install your hammock.
13. Brighten the Balcony With Pastels
Soften and brighten the space with pastels and neutrals. These colors create a serene vibe on your balcony so you’ll always feel relaxed when you step outside. From outdoor rugs, throw pillows and even wall decor, there’s plenty of places where you can infuse soft colors on your balcony.
14. Boho Flair
If you need design inspiration for your balcony, adding boho elements is a great place to start. From oversized ottomans, natural fabrics and wicker and rattan furniture, it can all be tied together with a boho design and can withstand the outdoor.
15. Design up
Your balcony is a blank slate and to add your personality to the overall design, use the walls to add decor and color. While you may need to get creative with the ways you attach pieces to the walls, don’t leave those walls blank. Using hooks or removable hangers are great options if you don’t want to drill into the walls.
16. Go Green
Your balcony is the perfect spot to try out your green thumb. When potting your favorite plants, flowers and herbs, don’t forget to design up by hanging pots or attaching them to wall structures. Not only will the balcony give your plants a place to thrive, but the lush greens and colors add natural textures to your outdoor space.
17. Add Texture With Textiles
Add visual interest to your balcony by layering textures with throw pillows and blankets, outdoor rugs and the fabrics that you choose for your furniture. Layering textures can make cold outdoor spaces look and feel warmer and more inviting. Even in a small space, adding texture is easy to do, and makes your balcony look like a well designed space.
