As soon as the first rays of sunshine shine on the balcony, we no longer want to hide inside and would like to make ourselves comfortable outside straight away. However, once there is space for a table, two chairs and a few decorative objects and plants, it can quickly look untidy – especially if the balcony is not that big anyway. What can you do about it? We have a few tips to keep your balcony looking tidy.
Our 6 best tips for more order on the balcony
There is always a lot of clutter on your balcony. In the summer of 2026 we will put an end to chaos and give you valuable tips that will make you feel really good.
#1 Use furniture with storage space
Whether as a side table or a beautiful bench: furniture with storage space is not only super practical, but also looks really great. The big advantage: You can store blankets, decorative objects or utensils for the plants such as watering cans or shovels in it, so that the balcony always looks tidy.
#2 Hanging plants
If floor space is already limited, it is advisable to use hanging plants. This not only provides more space and order, but also looks really cozy. Especially plant baskets in Boho style ensure a comfortable atmosphere.
#3 Use the railing
If it is difficult to attach plants to the ceiling, you can also plant them on the railing in special pots. They don’t get in the way and make the balcony look much tidier. On small balconies, you can also attach a fold-out table to the railing to save floor space.
#4 Use lost corners
Awkwardly cut corners quickly appear lost on a balcony because they are difficult to use. Then bits and bobs often end up in there, which creates a messy picture. Instead, you should rely on special pieces of furniture that are made precisely for such corners – for example shelves. When you then store your utensils in it, everything looks much tidier.
#5 Stick to a color scheme
The right decoration can also make the balcony look more organized. Color also plays a role. If you decorate the balcony in one color, it will look much tidier. For example, a beautiful lounge corner with an armchair and table, matching flower boxes, parasol and carpet in beige create a beautiful overall picture.
#6 Less is more
Nothing causes more clutter than cluttering up a small balcony. It’s better to stick to the rule of thumb “less is more” and rely on individual, space-saving pieces that bring order and coziness to the balcony.
