Decorate your balcony in a shabby chic style – add more romance to your everyday life!
To conjure up a real oasis of calm and romance on your balcony, you can implement the popular shabby chic style. Shabby Chic represents a beautiful combination of other styles such as country house, Provence and vintage and fascinates with a special charm and nostalgic flair. Pastel colors, deliberate signs of wear and playful, romantic patterns are typical. We’ll tell you how you can decorate the balcony and create this romantic, cozy look!
The right floor covering for the balcony in shabby chic style
The floor covering for the balcony should of course be weatherproof and durable. In addition to ceramic tiles, wooden tiles or WPC balcony boards are preferred. A soft, structured floor covering in shades of gray would be ideal. In this way, the pastel colors really come into their own.
The right balcony furniture
Typical of the shabby chic style is untreated or only roughly lacquered wood that shows deliberate signs of use. Balcony furniture made of polyrattan or metal is also extremely weather-resistant and also goes well with the nostalgic style. If you have a small balcony, you can opt for a bistro set consisting of a table and two chairs in an antique look. Regardless of which material you choose, it is important that your balcony furniture is white or a pastel color. Colorfully patterned pillows – ideally with a flower look – ensure more comfort and a splash of color.
How to decorate the balcony?
As soon as you have found the right balcony furniture, it is time to decorate. With playful details and beautiful flowers, you can add the finishing touches to your shabby chic balcony. The following inspirations will help you decorate:
- Tablecloth and fabrics with a feminine rose print
- Vintage candlesticks, lanterns or lanterns
- Decorative birdcages and birdhouses in a nostalgic style
- Flea market finds that you can redesign
- Wooden boxes as a shelf for flowers or a coffee table
- Watering cans and cups made of porcelain as vases for cut flowers
Balcony flowers should not be missing either. They complete the look and create a nice contrast to the white furniture. With elegant flower pots, the colorful flowers come into their own. Zinc tubs, metal buckets and beautifully decorated tins also fit nicely into the overall picture. Choose balcony flowers in shades of pink and pink to underline the feminine touch of the shabby chic style. You can’t go wrong with petunias, roses, geraniums, and hydrangeas, for example.
