A balcony design for smart double use

Unlock unused areas at home to maximise your space. With generous storage, convenient work-surfaces and some thinking outside the box, your closed balcony can become an ideal home workspace or a well-organised laundry – or even both.

ORGANIZING OUTDOOR SMALL SPACES
IKEA - A balcony design for smart double use

A wall storage system optimised for working

In a small space, the trick is to use as much of your wall space as possible. Cabinets up top give you plenty of storage that's easy to access from your desk underneath – still there’s room in between for a storage system with shelves and pegboards.

Drying racks - Rack up, rack down

Foldable drying racks are an ideal choice for a small space – easy to stow away to free up the floor when everything is done. Remember to open a balcony window for more air circulation that helps your laundry dry faster.
