So here are 3 tips to furnish your balcony with style and turn it into the comfort zone you have always dreamed of.

Coloring with outdoor plants and flowers

Often the outdoor spaces of the house, being used only for certain periods of the year, do not receive much attention from an aesthetic point of view. However, even the balcony can become a source of pride and contribute to the overall beauty of the house.
Furnishing a balcony does not only mean choosing the right furniture and knowing how to position it, but also creating a small green corner, to enjoy nature even if you do not have a garden available. The choice of the right plants and flowers, therefore, becomes fundamental.
Even those who do not have a green thumb know that there are resistant plants, suitable for both harsh and torrid climates, however choosing the most suitable ones is not always easy. That’s why it’s good to rely on the web and experts in the field, for example by reading which are the best sun-resistant balcony flowers according to abitar.it. Hibiscus, for example, gives a wonderful flowering in summer and tolerates direct sunlight well even in July and August. Periwinkle is also an excellent choice, since it resists intense heat and gives a unique atmosphere to the environment with its shades.
It is also good to remember that it is possible to color the balcony even in winter, thanks to cold-resistant plants with splendid winter blooms. Just think of the pansy or the cyclamen.

Using neutral shades for furniture
When furnishing the balcony of the house, it is always good to prefer neutral shades so as to increase the perception of the size of the spaces and give a feeling of relaxation. This applies not only to furniture and balcony flooring, but also to textiles.
Rugs play an important role in outdoor furniture. It is often thought that they are a piece of furniture reserved exclusively for interiors, but this is not the case. Just choose a waterproof, durable, comfortable and easily washable carpet.

Have fun decorating
When furnishing the balcony, you often follow the advice of experts to the letter and risk forgetting your personal tastes. The ideal is to find the right compromise between your ideas and the tips of those who know how to make the most of spaces.
It is not advisable to exceed with the mobile number. You have to choose smartly and opt for only a few pieces, i.e. those considered strictly necessary on a balcony. This means that it is better to opt for an extendable table with four folding chairs rather than a large table and lots of seating.
An element that is often underestimated is the bench. It is an extremely useful multifunctional object. It can be embellished with cushions and used if necessary to have additional seats, but at the same time it acts as a container where to store all objects that are in the way.
Another seating option is given by comfortable poufs, which can be moved according to needs.
