In summer, many people try to spend more time outdoors.

Therefore, it is important to prepare your balcony for this warm season to create a cozy place to relax and enjoy sunny days.

Here are some ideas on how to make your balcony more comfortable for the summer season, says Yulia Tychino .

Furniture

Start with cleaning: get rid of unnecessary things and clear the space. If possible, place an armchair, a small glass table and a table fountain on the balcony to create a cozy atmosphere.

Choose compact furniture for the balcony that will be comfortable and functional. You can install folding chairs, a table or a lounger. Consider models made of materials that are resistant to weather conditions.

Plants

If you love indoor plants, turn your balcony into a blooming garden using hanging structures for pots or place them on the windowsill.

Choose flower pots of the right size to fit on the balcony. Plants will not only decorate the space, but also create a cozy atmosphere.

On the south side, you can grow plants that love the sun. Here are some of them:

• succulents;
• geranium;
• purslane;
• petunia;
• zinnia.

For a balcony on the north side, shade-tolerant flowers are suitable, such as:

• verbena;
• marigold;
• daisies;
• heather.

Textile

To create coziness, place pillows, blankets or curtains made of light fabrics on the balcony. They will also protect from the sun or wind.

Lighting

Install decorative lighting to create an atmosphere of evening relaxation on the balcony. You can use garlands, lanterns or table lamps.

Floors and walls

Renew the floor and walls on the balcony if necessary. You can use wooden tiles, carpets or special floor coverings.

You can also decorate the walls with wicker panels or mirrors to create a visual effect of space.

Decorations and decor

Add decorative elements to the interior, such as hanging pots, rugs, paintings or figurines. This will give your loggia individuality and make it more cozy.

Recreation area

Create a relaxation area where you can relax, read a book or enjoy a cup of coffee.

Set up a comfortable chair or hammock to enjoy the outdoors.
The combination of these elements will help create a pleasant atmosphere and make the balcony a cozy place to relax in the summer.
