A balcony design for smart double use

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.

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.

Maximise and organise your shelf space with sturdy, stackable boxes with lids. Storage like this is a relief for your whole apartment, as it gives you plenty of extra space to keep your things in safe, dust-free storage.
