Lighting design is an important element to consider when designing small balconies. Others are compact outdoor furniture, green plants and flowers, which when applied with space saving designs and unique accents will create spaces that look charming, and spacious.

The balcony will make do with simple outdoor lighting to improve the functionality of the space. The lighting fixtures will give a contemporary flair and a welcoming appeal to the area while making them safe and more comfortable to use even at night. The right lighting is one that is not too bright.

Small balconies are not a problem when you use compact furniture. Space saving seats and tables will look cosy and inviting, offering perfect arrangement for pleasant dining.
