Practical and design balcony tables for a mini-outdoor, by Barbara Neyman

"To dress up your little exterior, here is a selection of balcony tables perfect for all circumstances.

Oh good days. The sun is pointing the tip of its nose. Enjoying the warmth of its rays makes us happy. We then begin to take out our light outfits with pleasure and we rush to the terraces of cafes and restaurants. If for some this is the only solution to get some fresh air, others can bubble serenely on their urban balcony. A privileged space but often compact, even narrow. Not easy then to arrange a small balcony without cluttering it. In order to equip this precious exterior, we opt for smart furniture adapted to the place. Explanations.

WHICH BALCONY TABLE TO CHOOSE?

Before choosing the model of balcony table that makes us crack, we must take into account a few criteria. First think about our habits and customs. If you live in the north of France, it's a safe bet that you won't use it less than if you live in the south. It will then be necessary to provide easily storable furniture so that it does not drag at the risk of being damaged too quickly. Then, we take into account the available space, which will influence the form to which to turn. All in length, round, square, a choice that is all the more important if it is a fixed table, because you must not obstruct the circulation around it and keep access available.
For a dining table, we also do not forget to take into account the necessary distance to install chairs.


It is also quite possible to take advantage of this mini-outdoor by opting for folding tables that will be able to be discreet when you are no longer using them.
And if the place really is very cramped, and you have to choose between a table or a deckchair , we have the solution. In vogue for some time now, the table suspended from the railing is perfect for freeing up floor space and thus allowing you to also install seats.
In addition, it becomes more and more design. And that, we love"
