How to choose sofa for balcony
Map the location
Let's start by mapping the space you have available on your balcony, the format it presents and one more important thing: whether it is fully open or has closed and covered areas.
If your balcony is open, it means that it is constantly exposed to the actions of the sun, rain, winds, cold and heat. And all these climatic variations directly impact the decision between one type or another of the sofa.
But if the balcony is closed or partially closed, it is possible to opt for sofas with structure and fabrics more similar to those used indoors.
The size and shape of the balcony are also indicative of the type of sofa you should choose. But that is a topic for the next topic.
Big or small, round or long?
Small balcony equals small sofa, large balcony equals large sofa. Basically, this is the rule.
Opting for a three-seater sofa in a small space can end up compromising circulation, functionality and the comfort of the environment.
And if you place a small sofa on a large balcony, it will surely be out of proportion to the space. Therefore, it is important to balance and dimension the sizes of the balcony furniture.
The shape of the sofa also impacts the functionality and comfort of the space. A round porch sofa, for example, is beautiful, but if the space is small it will end up causing more hassle than anything else.
A rectangular sofa can be easily leaned against the wall, freeing up a greater amount of free area.
From iron to wood
The material used in the manufacture of the sofa is also a very important issue that deserves your attention.
In addition to influencing the aesthetics of the environment, the material of manufacture will also guarantee the durability (or not) of the furniture.
See below some of the main materials currently used for balcony sofas and analyze which one most closely matches your needs:
wood
Wood is undoubtedly one of the preferred materials for balcony sofas. This is because the material is naturally rustic, warm and welcoming, perfect for relaxing and relaxing environments.
It turns out that wood may not always be the best option, especially if your balcony is open and exposed to rain and sun. Wood over time tends to suffer from moisture and heat, as well as being a source for insects, such as termites.
If your intention is to use a wooden sofa for a balcony, know that you will need to carry out periodic maintenance on the furniture to keep it longer.
Natural fiber
Natural fiber sofas are those made with straw, wicker or rattan. They all have a very interesting rustic beauty and look great outdoors.
More resistant than wood, natural fiber sofas can be exposed to the weather, but they also require periodic maintenance.
Synthetic fiber
Synthetic fiber is a great option for those who want a sturdy, beautiful and durable balcony sofa.
Usually made with aluminum structure and plastic covering, this type of sofa mimics the appearance of natural fiber braiding.
In addition to being more resistant, they are also lighter, allowing you to switch places easily and whenever you need to.
Aluminum
Aluminum is another good option for those who need a sofa for an external balcony. This type of sofa is light, durable and resistant, and can be exposed to all types of weather, including the beach.
However, some people may have resistance to the use of the material, since the aesthetic options are more limited.
Iron
The iron balcony sofas are charming, romantic and have a very cool retro touch.
Tough, but not as durable, this type of sofa needs maintenance to stay beautiful for longer.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel, like aluminum, is durable and resistant, with the difference that it is a higher cost material.
Alternative materials
You can also think of alternative materials for the balcony sofa. But for that you will need to get your hands dirty and go to “do it yourself”.
A good example of alternative material is the pallet. It is possible to build beautiful, comfortable and super functional models of sofa for balcony from this material.
Another option is the tire. Yes, believe it or not, but you can make a sofa out of old tires.
Want another idea?
Use bamboo. Bamboo is an alternative material, super ecological and that yields good and beautiful furniture.
The great advantage of opting for the use of alternative materials is economy, but the ecological and sustainable aspect of these materials are also a good reason for you to adopt them.
No water
After defining the type of material that will be used in the structure of your sofa, you must also stop to think a little about the type of fabric that will be used.
For outdoor areas, the ideal is to opt for waterproof fabrics, so you don't have to worry about whether the sofa will get rain or not, or if someone will drop juice on it.
The best options are leather, corino and the waterproof fabric options that already exist in droves on the market.
Colorful and cheerful
The color of the balcony sofa is also an important detail. The tip here is to opt for medium tones, neither so light (they get dirty easily), nor so dark (which fade quickly).
Orange, red, salmon, green, blue, yellow, in short, there is a multitude of colors for the sofa, you just need to choose the one that best suits the environment and the decoration proposal.
Another tip is to opt for printed fabrics, so the outer area
rna gains even more life and joy.
