Because all you need is a few square metres to fully enjoy the great outdoors, Made in Design presents a 100% terraces & balconies selection. Check out all our ideas to create a made-to-measure haven of peace.
DINING AREA
The barriers between indoors and outdoors are blurred. To increase the feeling of space, a real continuity between the indoor and outdoor decoration must be achieved.
FOR SMALLER SPACES
On a balcony, circulation is essential. Stackable or folding chairs, folding tables, compact furniture... Go for flexibility, without renouncing style!
Consider the bench! Practical and very discreet, it slides under the table, stands against a wall... ideal to manage your space.
Clever: pick easy to move, light chairs that can change location as you need them...
RELAXATION SPACE
Outdoor sofas are now as good as their indoor cousins! On terraces, go for modular pieces.
FOR SMALLER SPACES
What about a small balcony?
Choose a low armchair and a small matching mobile table
Prefer wire furniture to lighten the effect
Plants
Create a haven of greenery
Professional advice :
In town, plants are a real breath of fresh air and sometimes shelter you from the view of other apartments. The idea is to gain space on the ground by having climbing plants on the walls. Do not concentrate all the plants in the same place, plant in every corner.
Bacsac canvas pots: choose freedom! Ultra light, they can hang and be moved easily, depending on the sunlight
A vegetable garden in town? All you need is a few square metres!
An idea to copy: a ladder on which you can attach flower pots, and that supports the plants.
Garden boxes with handles: mobile spirit! They are easy to move depending on sunlight...
Lighting
Lengthen warm summer evenings...
Professional advice:
Sunlight highlights the architecture of the balcony... Like indoors, you can increase points of direct and indirect light. Ideal lighting: LED fairy lights along the railings, a wall light on the wall, light in plants to add relief and a cordless lamp to light up your summer dinner table.
You don't have plugs on you balcony? Mobile LED lamps or solar lamps are the solution!
Solar lamps are of course recommended for south or south-west facing balconies
Fairy lights for a Guinguette style balcony
Light here or takeaway?
We love the flexibility of the Balad and Maiori collections:
put it down, hang it up or on a stand!
If your balcony is covered, it is best to direct the shade upwards to increase space. On the contrary, directing it downwards will create a more intimate atmosphere.
Accessories
Add a few extra square metres of conviviality
