Despite the fact that the balcony is often a place for storing unnecessary things, with a skilful approach, its space can be turned into a kind of oasis of beauty and comfort. Of course, for this you need to clear the room of excess items and pick up comfortable and compact furniture. If the first task does not cause significant difficulties, then the second part contains a lot of difficulties. The space of the balcony is quite limited in area, so standard furniture can simply not fit there. Today, "House of Dreams" offers to talk about how to choose a table for a balcony, because this particular piece of furniture can make our rest more comfortable and pleasant.

We choose a balcony table: what to look for
1. Material
The choice of a table, as well as any other piece of furniture, depends primarily on the microclimate conditions of the room. If the balcony is glazed and insulated, then on it it is possible to install the table absolutely from any materials, being guided by the quality of construction and appearance. If we are talking about the improvement of an open loggia or balcony, then it is worth giving preference to the most durable and wear-resistant products.
It is believed that in outdoor environments, materials such as plastic and metal behave best, so a balcony table must be made of them. Of course, these materials are good because they are practically not afraid of moisture, and this significantly increases their service life. However, we should not exclude the possibility of decorating the balcony with furniture made of lighter materials. If the interior of the room tends, for example, to tables made of wood, rattan or bamboo, note that serious manufacturers always treat products with moisture-proof and antifungal mixtures, which significantly increases their wear resistance.

2. Construction
The balcony area, as a rule, does not differ in spaciousness, so standard tables are unlikely to add to this room of convenience. But a small table on the balcony is able to give your family unforgettable moments of relaxation in the fresh air. Which table should I prefer? First of all, this piece of furniture should fit into the room compactly, without occupying extra centimeters. If the balcony is too narrow and long, it is more rational to install on it a corner rectangular table that will not take up too much space, and at the same time visually make the room more proportionate. For glazed balconies it can be a sill-sill.

If the balcony is of a normal width, it is possible to install a small table of standard design. For example, it is very beautiful on open or closed loggias look round tables on one leg or light designs with rectangular table-tops.

Often the owners of small balconies refuse their accomplishment, believing that the furniture will create a sense of clutter. This is true, but only if the size of the table does not match the size of the balcony. Now in the range of many furniture manufacturers you can find incredibly compact and comfortable folding tables that are perfect even for miniature balconies. Sometimes the design of such tables is very different from standard products. For example, a folding table on the balcony can be made in the form of a high stool, which in a folded form practically does not take up space.

In addition, there is another interesting and convenient version of the balcony table, which, in fact, is a suspended table top. Hinged tables for balconies are most often attached to the railing, but there are also models whose mounting elements allow them to be mounted to a wall or a window sill. The main advantage of tables of this design is their mobility and compactness. Such a table at any time can be removed or outweighed to another location.

If the space of your balcony does not allow you to place even such a miniature product, please note that the hanging tables can be folding. If at the moment you do not use the table, you can lower it down, and it almost merges with the wall, taking up 2-3cm of force.

3. Design
The choice of the design of the table completely depends on the interior of your balcony. On the open terraces look great metal products with carved legs or elegant wicker furniture made of rattan. For closed balconies, you can choose a table suitable for decoration or other pieces of furniture, due to which the style of decoration will acquire integrity and harmony.

Looking ahead, we will answer that making a small, compact and comfortable balcony table is not at all difficult, but for this you need to prepare a set of necessary materials, fittings and tools.
