Weekend Balcony Makeover Ideas

It’s easy and affordable to decorate your balcony over a weekend. Get makeover ideas in this House & Home video:

1. Establish zones and decide what you want to achieve in these zones, such as lounge, eating and play spaces.

2. Cozy up the space with wood tiles, an outdoor rug, cushions, plants and decorative elements.

3. Keep the furniture low and streamlined. This prevents the furniture from blocking the sightlines and keeps the balcony looking spacious.

4. Use double-duty furniture. Choose side tables that can double as seats or ice buckets or a flat top deck box that also serves as a side table.

5. Save floor space by elevating patio umbrellas and mounting them to the rails.

6. Bring an element from the back yard onto your patio, such as an inflatable pool or a ModFire that is lit with ethanol.
