You're 4 steps away from a beach cafe balcony

The beach may be miles away, but you can bring its spirit to even the smallest outdoor space. Beach cafes are for lounging – and so are the best balconies. By bringing the right colors and textures to your outdoor area, you can keep that beach vibe going all summer long, from early morning sunrises and lazy afternoons to dusky, magical nights.
