Living in the city often means making the most of limited outdoor space. A common question we receive is: "Can I see some examples of how other people have styled your urban outdoor furniture in small spaces?" The answer is a resounding yes, and we are excited to share a collection of inspiring real-world examples that demonstrate how our pieces transform compact areas into functional and stylish retreats.
One of the most popular use cases is the urban balcony. Customers frequently choose our modular seating sets, like the 'Metro Lounge Cube'. A brilliant example from a customer in Amsterdam shows two cubes configured in an L-shape against a wall, paired with a narrow, low-profile table. This creates a perfect corner for morning coffee without overwhelming the space. Adding vertical planters on the railings brings in greenery without sacrificing precious floor area.
For tiny patios and courtyards, space-saving is key. A customer from Tokyo brilliantly utilized our 'Pivot Foldable Table' and matching stools. The beauty of this setup is its impermanence; the table can be folded flat against the wall when not in use, and the stools tucked underneath. This provides a full dining experience when needed and clears the area for other activities afterward, maximizing the utility of every square foot.
Another clever styling idea comes from a rooftop terrace in New York. The homeowner selected our 'Linear Slim Bench' and placed it along the longest wall. By keeping the footprint minimal, the bench provides ample seating for guests during gatherings while maintaining an open feel. They accessorized with long, rectangular planter boxes underneath the bench, doubling the functionality and adding a lush, vibrant touch.
Bistro sets remain a timeless choice for the smallest of spaces. A great example is from a Parisian apartment with a Juliet balcony. Our 'Corso Bistro Chair' and matching small table fit perfectly, creating an intimate spot for two. The open weave design of the chair prevents the setup from looking bulky, maintaining a light and airy aesthetic that is crucial in a very confined area.
The overarching theme in all these examples is intentionality. Each homeowner selected multi-functional, appropriately scaled furniture and accessorized strategically. They used light colors to create an illusion of space, incorporated mirrors on adjacent walls to reflect light, and chose furniture with clean lines to avoid visual clutter. These real-life inspirations prove that you don't need a large garden to enjoy the benefits of beautiful, comfortable outdoor living. Your compact space is a blank canvas waiting for your personal touch.
