Balcony is usually the smallest space in a house. However it definitely has some advantages comparing to other rooms: plenty of natural light and air, beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere. All what you need to do to make it feel cozy is to place some comfortable seating, add natural greenery and some beautiful yet inexpensive decoration.
