How to give spring a head start on your balcony
Spring is around the corner, and your balcony is the perfect place to greet it. See how you can make it work for a range of everyday activities – and easily go between chores and me time.
Most balconies have strict space limitations, but a bit of planning combined with flexible furniture make it possible to both have room for storage and easily shift between activities.
The everyday nook: your pop-up place in the sun
Naturally, a balcony isn’t limited to being a wash house. With foldable or wheeled furniture, you can swiftly arrange for another activity. Like first-row seats when the first days of spring arrive, or a breakfast spot to enjoy the first light of a new day.
The recreation spot: let a hobby light up your day
By early spring, a balcony can be the most precious place. Don’t stop at laundry and breakfast – make it a hobby corner as well! Set up a sunlit gardening station with a trolley, accessories and plants. Hang some tea towels nearby for easy wipes, and you’re good to go.
We love to see our customers get creative with our products. Go for it! But please note that altering or modifying IKEA products so they can no longer be re-sold or used for their original purpose, means the IKEA commercial guarantees and your right to return the products will be lost.
