Small spaces test our creativity and that of furniture firms, aware of the need to respond to new needs. Taking care of these and to solve the lack of space, precisely the five proposals for balcony that occupy our space today: benches with storage space, folding tables, convertible clotheslines ... Do you want to discover them? We tell you all about them.
Having a balcony, even being this small, is a shock when buying a home, especially in a big city in a resort. We immediately imagine ourselves sitting down, having a wine, after a day's work. Or enjoying coffee on Sunday morning. Or sunbathing. Or enjoying a book. And we are not wrong to imagine it, because only then will we know what we need.

Do you work from home? Would you like to be able to check your email at the end of the day while enjoying some quiet time outside? Do you want to be able to see your favorite series in the fresh air during the summer nights? Working with the computer on the balcony Without a proper table it can be uncomfortable.
BalKonzept the Rephormhaus recyclable polyethylene table solves this and other problems. Weather resistant and frost proof, you can attach it to the railing and use the surface that it provides you to work or eat. The table, what can you buy in the online store from the firm for € 139 in two colors, it also has a hole in the upper part to place work tools, the water bottle or a plant, if you want to give it a decorative touch.

Folding / folding table
When you want to give different uses to a small balcony, use folding furniture that allows you have the space the way you need in every moment it is a great alternative. At ikea, you will find different alternatives that you can use both indoors and outdoors.
The folding wall table from the Askholmen series is our favorite for furnishing the tightest of spaces. However, due to its dimensions (70 × 44 cm.), It is not comfortable for more than two people. In addition, it must be fixed to the wall. Much more versatile is the table from the Applaro series (34/83/131 × 70 cm), a table that you can expand to suit different needs and that you can move from one place to another.
Running bench with storage:
A bench to rest and extra storage space that will protect the contents from the elements. The banks run they are a great alternative to chairs; They can accommodate more people than you are in less space. We already talked about its benefits and of the different materials that can be used to make Decoora, do you remember?
The Ikea Applaro bench (price € 50) made of acacia wood can be used as a seat or table to place objects. Similar models but made of aluminum and covered with braided synthetic rattan can also be found at Leroy Merlin. It will not be difficult for you to find them, although it may be more interesting to make them yourself or have them made to measure so as not to waste a meter.
Corner shelf
In every small space, every corner is usable! In wood, bamboo or metal a corner shelf can help us organize plants, books and / or garden supplies. It can also be useful to stop drinking; when space is a problem, a chair and a corner shelf can dress a balcony.
You will find many and at a good price in second hand sales platforms like Wallapop. Also on Amazon or eBay. The wooden ones will bring warmth to your balcony, the bamboo ones will bring naturalness, the rattan ones an unmistakable vintage air, and the forged ones romanticism. it's up to you!
It is not easy to decorate small spaces but it is not for lack of furniture and accessories to do so. The key to not getting blocked is to prioritize; When space does not provide for everything, we must decide what we want the most and from there seek the best options while respecting our budget.
