Balcony ready for summer – How to make a small space a cozy place

Parveke valmiiksi kesään – Näin teet pienestä tilasta viihtyisän paikan

The balcony is the perfect place to enjoy summer warmth, sunshine, and afternoon coffee. As spring arrives, many wonder how to make their balcony a functional, comfortable, and stylish outdoor space. In this blog, we share practical tips for getting your balcony summer-ready – and explain why a quality balcony mat is the most important element of a summer balcony.

  1. Empty and clean the balcony
    Start by clearing the space: remove all loose items, mats, furniture, and trash. Sweep or vacuum the floor and wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. If you have balcony glazing, clean the glass as well.

  2. Check condition and measure area
    Examine the balcony floor and any wall surfaces: is there a need for maintenance painting or new furniture? Measure the balcony floor dimensions if you plan to purchase a new balcony mat.

  3. Add a weather-resistant and insulating balcony mat
    A quality balcony mat makes the entire space more comfortable – especially if the floor is cold concrete or tile.

The Dry Step™ thermal mat is an excellent choice:
  • Weather-resistant and breathable structure

  • Insulates against cold and softens your step

  • Easy to keep clean

  • Cut precisely to measurements

  • Suitable for both glazed and open balconies

Available in subtle shades that stylishly suit various interiors. For example, if the balcony is 250 cm wide, the mat is delivered in two pieces – neat and discreet.

  1. Furniture: even a little is enough
    You don’t need much for the balcony. One small table and a couple of comfortable chairs can work wonders. Foldable and stackable furniture is especially practical in small spaces.

  2. Cozy up with textiles and plants
    Add warmth and color with decorative pillows, blankets, and potted or hanging plants. Choose plants that thrive well in your balcony’s light and temperature conditions.

  3. Finish with lighting
    Summer evenings on the balcony are most atmospheric with the right lighting. Try solar lights, battery-operated string lights, or lanterns.

Why is the thermal mat the best balcony mat?

The Dry Step™ thermal mat is specifically designed for outdoor spaces. It doesn’t mold, dries quickly, and doesn’t retain moisture. Additionally, its closed-cell foam base insulates effectively – and the soft surface feels pleasant under bare feet.

Unlike regular balcony mats, the thermal mat is cut precisely to your measurements, so it fits perfectly.

Summary: Get your balcony summer-ready with one purchase

If you want your balcony to be a place where you truly enjoy spending time, invest in a high-quality and weather-resistant balcony mat. The Dry Step™ thermal mat is a domestic solution that lasts year after year and makes the space warm, soft, and cozy.
