Dry your clothes on a small balcony

Even the tiniest balcony has room to unwind with a cup of tea, even if you’re surrounded by t-shirts. Well-chosen, flexible furniture can help you get a balcony designed for the enjoyment you want and the laundry you try to avoid. So, if you have a balcony on the smaller side that has to do a big job for downtime and drying time, read on.

Dry your clothes on the balcony with a drying rack

This balcony can dry clothes and be soothing thanks to airy JOSTEIN shelving units that make laundry feel less prominent. Their extendable, adjustable drying racks can be ’off’ when not in use. Durable shelves provide a good overview of and easy access to clothes drying or cleaning supplies. Clear boxes let light in.

Handy storage for your fresh laundry essentials

For outdoor items you want to protect or prefer to store away, use closed storage like this KOLBJÖRN cabinet.

  • The cabinet’s beige coating complements the balcony’s light shades and blends in more naturally.
  • Behind the tidy doors (that stay closed with a magnetic lock), you can store plant pots, outdoor cushions, etc.
  • Arrange a nice display or place another matching shelving unit on top of the cabinet.
