The balcony in autumn – ideas for a cozy old balcony in the cold season

The balcony in autumn/winter – five ideas for a cozy balcony in the cold season
The days are getting noticeably shorter, but there are still opportunities to catch a few rays of sunshine on your balcony in the fall. With these five tips, you can make yourself comfortable on your balcony even in autumn and winter.
1. using the balcony in winter: Creating the right foundation for warm feet
Older stone floors in particular can quickly cause cold feet at low temperatures and are also not very attractive. The solution: a wooden floor on the balcony. A stylish wooden floor not only impresses with its appearance, but also with its durability and warming properties. You don’t need any special manual skills if you use a clickable floor grating, for example. High-quality outdoor rugs enhance the warming effect, at least on covered balconies, and provide the necessary feel-good factor in the fall.
2. balcony plants for the fall/winter season for an evergreen balcony
On many balconies, the planters and balcony boxes remain empty over the winter months, which usually makes for a rather sad picture. Yet even in the cold season, it is possible to have an autumnal balcony planting and therefore a green balcony even in winter:
- Blooming winter heather
- Ivy
- Autumn asters
- Chrysanthemums
- Winter snowball
- Yellow winter jasmine
These hardy plants are ideal for bringing your balcony to life all year round.
3. balcony furniture that invites you to linger
When choosing balcony furniture, it is particularly important that it is weather-resistant and also looks attractive so that you can enjoy spending time there even when it is a little cooler. Once again, wood is a good choice of material. In addition to the right furniture, the cozy factor should not be neglected in windy and cold weather: Cushions and blankets, for example made of wool, are therefore essential. Make yourself comfortable on a wooden bench under a cozy woolen blanket on your balcony.
4. ensure a winter-proof balcony and pleasant temperatures
But even with plenty of cushions and blankets, it can still get quite chilly on the balcony, especially in the evening. In order to still be able to rely on a cozy balcony where guests, for example, also want to linger, an outdoor heater can be worthwhile. Electric infrared radiant heaters are an efficient and environmentally friendly option, as they do not heat the ambient air layer by layer, but the body directly as soon as the infrared radiation hits the surface of the skin.
5. cozy lighting on the balcony in the dark season
A suitable lighting concept, especially diffuse light, rounds off the coziness factor of your autumn/winter balcony. In concrete terms, this means that several small light sources should be used. Conveniently, the heat sources already mentioned can also be part of the lighting concept.
