A small terrace or balcony can also be a great place to sit, chat and relax. The key isn't to fill the space, but to choose well what goes in and where. Here are three tips for fitting your furniture in without the corner feeling cramped.
1. Measure and mark before you buy
Take the length and width measurements, and mark on the floor with tape or paper the space each piece would take up. That way you can check whether there's a clear path to walk through and whether doors, steps or plants stay unobstructed. Then compare with the dimensions on each product page.
2. Choose compact or dual-function pieces
In a small space, every piece has to earn its place. The Bora Bora Footstool is a multi-purpose puzzle-style set that works as a coffee table or as a pouf, and you can add more than two pieces if the space allows. The Hvar Side Table measures 53 × 32 × 48 cm: it's compact enough to go alongside an armchair or a lounger without getting in the way. And the Bali Armchair, at 77 × 77 × 62 cm, gives you a comfortable seat taking up less than 0.6 m² of floor.
3. Make the most of corners and light tones
An empty corner is wasted space: a corner sofa or a modular sofa fits into the nook and leaves the center free. Light tones also make the space feel bigger and brighter; here we tell you about the advantages of a light-colored sofa. And since aluminum is lightweight, it's easy to move the pieces when you want to clear the terrace for a get-together.
