The balcony may be the only outdoor space you have when living in an apartment. However, that doesn’t mean a balcony can’t provide you with comfort and fresh air when you occasionally want to relax for a moment. Choosing a particular style for a small balcony can be a difficult decision, and can sometimes take up a lot of space. So, let’s add some eclectic style in there! Eclectic style means combining colors, patterns, styles and eras in an effortless way so that it appears that these elements complement each other.
In this post, we want to show you how to create an eclectic balcony that functions beautifully and perfectly reflects your taste and personality. Such a balcony showcases a lifestyle and individuality that looks full of life. That said, eclectic doesn’t mean anything goes here and we’ve got some tips for doing it right. Enjoy!
Mix And Match
Mix and match various objects using different colors and eras, this is the key to creating an eclectic balcony.

You can also mix modern items with rustic items for a cozy feel, or mix Mediterranean and boho chic. To avoid a monotonous look, use include visual repetition that will help you tie the balcony design together. Choose colors or geometric shapes that are repeated in the ornaments and images as well as the textiles you choose. If your balcony has a beautiful landscape view, this will be an attraction in itself. Also make sure your color schemes match each other when trying to create a colorful balcony.
