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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
