In the cities, the balcony is the only refuge for one who’s in search of fresh air and a relaxing place. Even if small, this space can be arranged to fill you with energy and vitality and in the end become a little oasis of your apartment. Below we are presenting some small balcony design ideas which will transform the tiny corner in a relaxing place at the end of a busy day.

Small balconies can become welcoming spaces if you decorate them with flowers and plants first of all. It is recommended to use planters that hang out of the railing to save some space or climbing plants or vertical gardens solutions.

Small balcony design ideas go hand in hand with imagination. You can as well place a table of four on the balcony, as in the picture below, with chairs adorned with highly and diversely colored pillows, in harmony with the colors of the pots.

A strong visual effect is projected by a balcony with wooden floors and a separating wall of the same natural material. With a large planter in the corner and a small armchair, the owner can spend nice moments in a small space, but full of vitality.

Sometimes, arranging a small balcony does not require more than simple ideas for an impressive final result, as seen in the image below. Of course, the great visual effect of the balcony framed by a white railing is enhanced by the sea behind.

With a similar effect as the wooden floor described earlier, a rattan sofa and a screen of the same material, with cushions that go with them, create an exotic space for full relaxation.
