The small balcony, tight yard and mini deck are all viable outdoor spaces that you can decorate. Just because the area islittle, doesn't mean it's unusable. In fact, you can design the space to support numerous functions, it just all goes back to the outdoor furniture sets you select, where you store them and how you implement them.

Quick changes in design
Say you want to use your small outdoor space to dine one day and lounge the next. You may not be able to fit a set of outdoor lounge chairs and a complete dining table in the tight spot, but you can switch your furniture out as needed. For that to work smoothly and for your space to maintain continuity, you should try these tips:

Use folding furniture: If you plan to move and store your outdoor furniture sets, you should pick items that are foldable. That way, you can tuck them into a tiny storage spot with ease, transforming your small space in a jiffy.

Purchase in a single palette: You need to plan the color scheme of your updated and convertible tight space or the furniture swap will put the decor into disarray - that's not very good when you want the area to look remarkable. Pick the design style and colors you want and purchase your folding outdoor furniture to match. That way, whether you have your dining set or your patio bistro set out, your yard will feel harmonious.

Create storage space: You'll have to figure out a spot in which to keep your furniture when you aren't using it. Fortunately, if you've opted for folding furniture, you don't need a whole lot of storage room. This area can be a thin opening between a couple of walls, an outdoor cabinet on your deck or a small shed. Look for where you'd have room to construct storage outside, and then build a unit in which you can place your furniture. Ideally, the storage should be covered to prevent the elements from harming your furniture pieces.
