Vertical gardens: healthy reasons to choose them <\/i><\/b><\/h2>\nIt’s no secret that<\/span> vertical gardens<\/span><\/a> have become a growing social trend. Something that goes far beyond mere decoration. But let’s talk about that.<\/span> \n\nVertical gardens can eliminate all the floor space occupied by traditional flowerpots. There is a wide variety available: made from pallets, wood, recycled plastic, and more. Shapes and colors are available to suit all tastes. <\/span>\n\nOne advantage they offer is that, if you choose your plants wisely, they require little maintenance. And in return, you’ll get natural fruits, vegetables, or spices with an inimitable flavor. <\/span>\n

Hanging storage spaces <\/i><\/b><\/h2>\nThe furniture we use also takes up a lot of space, so reducing the dimensions is one of the ideas for making the most of small terraces. <\/span>\n\nOn the one hand, consider that deep, shallow furniture can be replaced with<\/span> slightly taller<\/span> vertical storage units<\/b> to reduce the overall depth. In this case, you can place them all in the same area to maintain an organized and harmonious layout.\n\nHeads up! If you don’t need much storage space on your small balcony, consider hanging vertical cabinets. They take up very little space and leave the entire floor free. <\/span>\n

Stylish, comfortable table and chairs that take up very little space<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\nDo you use your balcony for eating, reading, or relaxing, or would you like to? There are specific tables and<\/span> armchair-style seating<\/b> for everyone looking for ideas to make the most of small terraces.<\/span> \n\nYou’ll find a wide variety of them on the market. Tables and chairs made from<\/span> natural materials<\/b> are currently in style. This gives you the advantage of having more options: you can buy a ready-made wooden table or chair, for example; or make a DIY version using pallets and<\/span> custom upholstery.<\/b> \n\nIt’s important to mention that the idea of \u200b\u200busing pallets as a base material for the table and chairs on our terrace is just one of thousands of options you can create yourself at a very low cost. <\/span>\n\nThe most important thing of all is to opt for armchair-style seating and small tables at the appropriate height.<\/span>\n\n\"\"\n

Shower instead of pool <\/i><\/b><\/h2>\nIf you’re lucky enough to have a slightly larger space and can fit a pool where you usually cool off while sunbathing, replacing it with a shower is one of the most practical ideas for making the most of small terraces. This is especially true when the pool is just a place to cool off and doesn’t allow for swimming. <\/span>\n\nYou can have an inflatable mini-pool for when you fancy relaxing in the sun in cool water and for when the little ones want to play. The rest of the time, you can keep it stored away. Just like the hammocks! <\/span>\n

Folding hammocks <\/i><\/b><\/h2>\nIf you enjoy sunbathing, you don’t have to give up the pleasure. Especially now that you’ve freed up some space. Simply opt for folding hammocks instead of fixed ones. When you’re finished using them, you won’t even notice they’re there. A perfect way to<\/span> keep your balcony tidy.<\/b> <\/span>\n\nWith these 5 ideas for making the most of small terraces, you can’t go wrong. Even if you own a house where this need wasn’t considered during construction, you can still make a small renovation to expand the space of your balcony, garden, or terrace. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
