Big or small, every outdoor space can become extraordinary: How?
When it comes to outdoor furniture, there is a phrase we often hear: “Well, I only have a small balcony.” Or, on the contrary: “The garden is too big, I don’t know where to start.”
The truth is that size doesn't matter (or at least, it's not the most important factor). What matters is how you experience the space, and what you choose to tell about it.
Whether you have one square meter or a hundred, you can transform the exterior into a unique, functional and… surprising place.
Here are creative, clever and scenic ideas to transform any outdoor space into something extraordinary!
Small Space, Big Character: How to Furnish Mini Balconies and Terraces
Do you have a few square meters? Perfect. It is the ideal context to carefully choose each piece, giving character without crowding your space.
One object many uses...
Choose original and multifunctional objects. If the space is not very large you will need to choose beautiful but also useful design objects. An example... A vase that also becomes a bottle holder, perhaps with a unique shape. An original idea is the Turtle Vase / Bottle Holder by Qeeboo, compact and functional it will make your space unique , ideal for a balcony with personality, irony and style.
Create a focal point...
Instead of wasting your attention on too many details, focus on just one object that leaves its mark! The chair, the coffee table, the sofa can be functional and design-oriented. Making your exterior original and unique, even if small.
Choose light and mobile pieces
Opt for objects that are easy to move or store, such as rechargeable cordless lamps or lightweight polyethylene seats. This way you can transform the use of the space according to the moment: breakfast, aperitif, reading, yoga… and clean your space with ease.
Smart purchases: Choose lamps that are suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. You will create the right atmosphere and you can use them all year round. Practicality and atmosphere in one solution.
Big spaces, endless possibilities (but also more risks)
A large terrace or a spacious garden is a dream, but it can become dispersive if not managed well. The key? Divide and organize by “life scenarios” .
Create functional zones
- A relaxation area with minimal sofas and armchairs;
- A dining area with table and chairs;
- A scenic corner with one or two unique and original pieces
- Use objects as visual dividers
Add surprises that make “wow”
Large spaces allow for bolder installations. A giant lamp… can become points of wonder, especially when combined with plants and light effects.
Bonus idea: Create the wow effect with a designer lamp that creates a focal point in your space!
Golden Rules for Every Space (Big or Small)
- Choose objects that speak about you
– Design also serves to bring out your personality. A strange or out of scale object, if it makes you smile every day, is the right furniture. - Focus on durable but beautiful materials
– Outdoor design doesn’t have to sacrifice aesthetics. For example, Qeeboo uses materials like polyethylene, which are weather-resistant and easy to clean, but with shapes that seem to come from a contemporary museum. - Don't fill it all up. Leave room for air and light
– Even the absence of objects is an act of design. Let the furnishings “breathe”, especially if you have scenographic pieces.
In conclusion...
It's not the size that makes the magic, but the vision.
Every inch can become an experience of design, emotion and functionality.
Just choose with courage, play with shapes and dare to create a piece outside the box. How do you do it? With a little irony… and maybe with a shark that keeps your drink cool.
