Thankfully, September starts with more pleasant evenings, but the cold days are not far away. We have put together 3 + 1 pro tips, with which you can prolong the pleasant time spending on the balcony for an extra month or two! Shall we?
Few things are better in life than when youu2019re at home but can sit u201cout thereu201d, after a long day, you snap open your favorite beer, wine, apple juice, and you get to enjoy a drink while staring at the flickering light of a couple of candles, or you just immerse yourself in your cell phone. Or when youu2019re waiting for your partner in the apartment with a romantic dinner, under the stars, as a casual surprise. If it wasn’t coincidence that you have rented a modern Flatco apartment with a spacious balcony, but you are looking at it as an extra square foot of actual living space, this post is for you! Weu2019ve put our heads together and figured out with what tricks you can push the season finale to the maximum. So:
Soft blankets, sinking pillows
It is not a problem that after August, after sunset, you no longer have to melt out there. With one or two super accessories, you can easily create a cozie autumn space on your balcony and create a divine relaxing nest for yourself. Add thick, sinking, extra-large pillows to your outdoor chair or your cool hanging armchair so when you take a seat they almost surround and snug you. That way you wonu2019t get cold from the bottom up, which is half success. But what good are the fluffy, caressing, fringed-hairy-soft blankets, if you can’t wrapp yourself in it from head to toe? Take them out from the bottom of the closet, and after a quick refreshing wash, using your favorite freganant fabric softener, you can dive deep under or in them!
Candles and warm lights
Believe us, never underestimate psychological facts! You can improve your cozyness much by filling the windowsill, the trendy side table or the balcony railing with candles, with trendy glass, metal, or wooden candle holders. You can even take out the Christmas lights and mount them on the walls. The flood of light will warm your soul and evoke the most beautiful summer evenings u2013 you will surely love it! It is worth giving it a try even if you only keep one candle at home, that one candle you keep in case of a power cut. But make sure that the wax does not flow everywhere, or drip onto the neck of the neighbor below you, and that your balcony garden, which has been cherished since spring, does not catch fire.
Infrared heaters and outdoor radiators
For the benefit of the residential community and your own safety, we prefer to avoid the usage of gas cylinders, but a smaller radiator can offer a great warmth, you will be able to enjoy as an active living space your newly built, sunny apartment balcony, that is overlooking the green inner park until about the end of October. Donu2019t worry, the electricity consumption of the newer models is exceptionally low, while you can choose from modern, beautiful shapes. The huge range, types, technologies, and achievements are endless, so we suggest you find an enthusiastic salesperson with whom you can talk through the details and decide which best suits your needs. In fact, If you choose a smart model check to see if you can connect it to your smart home systemI If it does, you are able to use the temperature control button from your mobile device.

The blanket, the candle, and the radiator will not save you from the cold if your balcony is drafty, but there’s nothing to worry about, you can control even the wind! Take a look at a home improvement store or web store (have you tried our favorite, Butopea?) And search through the wide variety of bamboo blinds and fabric curtains! Wide, narrow, short, long, bright, colorful, fringed, hippie, unusual, perhaps sophisticated minimal? You will find something to match your style and personality – and of course to match your super stylish apartment furnished by the professional team of Flatco!
