Create a small garden
Even with a limited amount of space, you can still create a beautiful, vibrant outdoor garden. For a balcony, you might find it easier to stick to a container garden, which basically means that you will keep all of your plants and flowers in containers or pots. This gives you quite a bit of flexibility, as it allows you to easily move things around to change up your space. Flowers, plants and vegetables can all be successfully grown in small-space gardens.

Pick furniture wisely
Choose furniture that is comfortable and attractive. Add outdoor throw pillows and cushions with mold resistant fabric to accent your color palette, and create a cozy and inviting seating area. Stay away from bulky furniture that can overwhelm your small space. Source: TidyMom
Arrange furniture in an efficient manner
The best way to maximize the space of a small porch or deck for outdoor entertaining is to keep furniture around the perimeter. Outdoor party guests will have more standing room in a smaller rectangular space instead of having to navigate around a large patio table. Source: BHG
Add a source of warmth
Fire pits are the center of attention on grand decks and patios, and the same can be true in a petite outdoor area. Tabletop fire pits add warmth and a soft glow without any need for firewood. Source: BHG
