15 Budget-Friendly Lights Ideas For Balconies

budget friendly lights ideas for balconies

The main problem of most of balconies is that they are relatively small, and it’s hard to find proper furniture and decor for it because you want to accommodate a lot and can’t. We’ve already shared some smart ideas to renovate your balcony turning it into a home office, breakfast zone or else, and today I’d like to share some ideas on lighting the balcony up without wasting the space.

String Lights

This is the most popular idea to use: string lights are cheap and won’t take literally any space – just hang there over the balcony and voila! They won’t cost much even if you cover the whole balcony with them and will make it more inviting.

LED lights

LEDs are amazing for any kind of lighting because they bring a cheerful party feel or can be associated with holidays, and there’s nothing better than that. LEDs can cover the whole balcony or some part of it to make it more welcoming, and I love the idea of covering the railing.

Lanterns And Lamps

If you have some floor or table space, why not place some candle lanterns or modern lamps? Candle lanterns will create an ambience at once, and you’ll love the look! While modern outdoor lamps will make your balcony edgy and chic. Get inspired!
