Transform your balcony into a relaxing Mediterranean oasis with DedeSign furniture and decoration ideas.

For lazy summer mornings and evenings when you just want to relax and have a glass of wine or a refreshing tea, admit it: the balcony, especially if you live in an apartment building, is not your first option.

You slalom through jars, vegetable boxes, the child’s bike, your training bag and two or three pots of dried plants.

Regardless of size, DedeSign has some great ideas for turning your balcony from a utility room or storage space into a relaxing area. The sky is the limit, if you want, you can bring your holiday feeling right to your home.

When decorating a space, you get the best results from keeping it simple. Be inspired by the gardens of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean: Spain, France, Greece and Italy. They consist of little vegetation that does not require much care: native plants, climbing plants, aromatic herbs, brightly colored flowers, stone-clad walls and paths, wood and light, warm colors (which reflect light and do not absorb it ) and accents of blue (imitating the sea).

If you have a larger terrace or balcony, use ceramic, terracotta and stoneware as pots. Play with their sizes and plant citrus, lavender, rosemary, sage or any other aromatic herbs that you can even use in cooking or making refreshments. You will thus really give meaning to the word fresh. By placing such aromatic plants on the balcony, you will create a collection of scents that will spread around and create a relaxing atmosphere that will mentally teleport you to a vacation.

If the space is small, you have a block balcony, for example, consider using it planters such as these and hanging potswhose original surface texture is reminiscent of the braid left by crochet.

If you have vertical space, try using one decorative element to keep smaller plants.

If you are not constrained by the small size of the balcony, choose one shelf like this one, extremely versatile. Made of white metal, it adapts to any space and acquires various uses. It can hold your flowers, but also a tray with coffee cups or wine glass. The camera, your favorite book or the scented candle find their place just as well here.

When choosing furniture, keep in mind that plants and flowers must stand out. Avoid bright colors and patterns. Opt for non-colors or neutral colors. Mediterranean furniture design reflects elegance and sophistication. It is usually made of wood, wrought iron, glass or stone.

Give a personal touch to the relaxation space and choose objects that tell a story: a simple, carefully crafted banquette it can transform even a small balcony into an irresistible summer residence.

For the floor, choose a stone finish, such as terracotta, ceramic tiles or even natural stone.

For the ceiling, you can use decorative cornices or exposed wooden beams. You can finish the walls with a decorative plaster with stone imitation or even with decorative or natural stone, or you can simply paint them white.

Wooden shuttered windows are popular for Mediterranean style. Did you think you could have them here too? Made of pine wood, natural, these they are used not only as furniture facades, but also as shutters or doors. They allow varnishing or painting depending on the environment.

Use shades of blue in accent areas to refer to the sea. You can also highlight a certain area through a patterned mosaic with Moroccan elements. A delicate white / blue geometric pattern can give a personal touch to the whole space.

And if you stay at home and the space allows you, use it this detail, which will give you a different perspective on your oasis. You are closer to nature or the neighbors who will envy you for the arrangement.

If you want your balcony to retain the warmth of the Mediterranean, don’t forget the textile details: layering the textures you choose for retreat-ul yours, whether we’re talking about mats, pillows or blankets for the white nights, will turn it into a super cozy space. Bet on linen, wool and cotton. Dare!
