Spring has finally arrived. The trees are in bloom, the days are getting longer and the temperatures are starting to be really pleasant! What better time to set up our balcony in anticipation of breakfast to be enjoyed outdoors or, why not, even to start getting a little tan in view of the summer? Today, we explain how to furnish your balcony and make it super cozy in just a few steps.
A table with chairs for the first outdoor lunches
Of course, the first thing that must never be missing on the balcony is a table equipped with chairs to enjoy Sunday breakfast or for a lunch in the warmth of the first rays of spring sunshine. Whether it is made of wood or wrought iron, the important thing is that it is an outdoor piece of furniture, therefore able to withstand any bad weather, such as cold, rain or summer hail. We fell in love with this outdoor set by Ikea, complete with a wooden panel to be placed on the wall, to hang pots or gardening tools.

The hammock for a relaxing afternoon
With the arrival of the first heat, nothing is more relaxing than a hammock on the balcony, where we can relax in the shade and read that book that has been resting on the bedside table for too long now. With its swing, this hammock is the ideal retreat after a stressful week. To make it even more comfortable and welcoming, add some cushions, and your relaxation corner will be truly perfect! We recommend the hammock FREDÖN by Ikea.

The bench with storage is perfect for guests
The size of the balcony is small, but do you want to organize an aperitif with friends? In this case, you just have to buy a balcony bench, ideal as a seat thanks to its cushions, but also perfect for storing pots, gardening tools and shoes that you no longer know where to store. The bench ÄPPLARÖ by Ikea is just perfect!

A small barbecue for Sunday with the family
And if you want to make your balcony a perfect refuge for friends and family, then all you have to do is set up a small barbecue, ideal for being outdoors and enjoying a lunch with friends. The Ikea charcoal barbecue it is perfect if you love traditional grilling: you can use it alone or together with the trolleys of the series to create an outdoor kitchen, depending on the space you have available.
