Ditch Benches or Sofas - Go for Mattresses

If you think your balcony is smaller even than the most tiniest of patios, you still can arrange for a lovely seating in your space. Ditch the regular idea of adding a bench, a sofa or a sectional – instead get straight to mattresses. Simply throw a cozy mattress on the floor, going for dimensions that fit a corner of your balcony, further adding a few cushions atop the mattress. For the decoration of the space, you can always place votives and small candles on the floor and other platforms you find on your balcony, while hanging a few designer lanterns or mini chandeliers to the ceiling.

Mason jar candles would make everything look a lot more prettier, keeping it budget-friendly yet splendorous.
