Outdoor furniture should be carefully selected to ensure they last a long time and can withstand the climatic conditions of your location. If you have a balcony in your home that you want to add furniture to, there are many options that can be done depending on what your requirements are.

If you have a spacious balcony overlooking a good view,

You can consider purchasing a set of lounge chairs from Outdoor Living Direct. These are foldable as well as stackable so you can use them whenever you wish and store when needed. This option comes in handy if you don’t have a lot of space. When choosing lounge chairs, you need to choose chairs made from weather resistant materials like metal, rattan or wicker. And you can make them more comfortable by the addition of cushions. Make sure these have water resistant or waterproof fabric on them. You can have a cup of coffee or read a book while relaxing on the balcony. There are pod chairs that can be suspended from the ceiling or roof in your balcony. These are also called egg chairs and they will create a very cosy nook where you can relax. There is a sturdy frame to support it and there are weather resistant materials in its construction.

In a large balcony,

You can actually create a bar setting where a tall bar table is placed with a few bar stools around it. You can also mount a cabinet to the wall to keep glasses and such. This can be an inviting dining or drinking area where you can enjoy with family and friends. You can enjoy snacks here or a few cocktails in the evening. There are also compact bar sets that can fit smaller spaces and these will have foldable stools for easy storage. If you want a place to read or just have a small nap while looking over the view, you can purchase a swing chair. There are modern and traditional versions of swing chairs. For a minimal style, you can select a hanging hammock chair. But for more support, you can select a traditional porch swing.

There are accessories you can use with any kind of furniture such as side tables.

These will be great to pair with the lounge chairs or the swing chair. You can use the side tables to place books, decorative items, drinks etc. There are also foldable side tables that offer a more compact option. Some materials that can withstand the elements are metal, teak and plastic. There are also side tables that come with built-in storage to give you more options. It is always a great idea to use multifunctional furniture in your balcony as this is generally a small space. And multifunctional furniture allows you to make the most of space. Some examples of this are a folding table that can be used for dining or a storage bench that provides seating as well as a place to store cushions, serverware etc.
