Design for small balconies
With small balconies or garden spaces, it's important to strike the right balance to make your area feel inviting and relaxing while still making it look nice and well-designed. The key to this is smartly choosing accessories, furniture, and plants!
Save floor space by adding additional plants in pots and placing them on tables, benches, or shelves. When choosing your plants, opt for options that will provide some greenery but won't grow too large or require excessive pruning!
Design for a sun terrace
Designing a sun terrace is essential in a home because otherwise, it becomes a storage space if not utilized properly. It all starts with installing shade, a pergola, or a stylish sunshade. It all depends on how much you are willing to invest in designing your sun terrace.
If we're talking about sunshades, there are several types of stylish sunshades, but if you want to elevate the level and use your sun terrace both in winter and summer, you need a pergola.
Types of pergolas for a sun terrace:
- Wooden pergola
- Fixed aluminum pergola
- Designed pergola - electric aluminum
- Designed electric aluminum pergola with fabric cover
If you're not interested in investing in a pergola for balcony enclosure, you can order a folding electric sunshade made of high-quality aluminum arms.
