Our Small-Space Perspective
Funbalconytreluim began with a simple observation: most outdoor design writing assumes the reader owns a sprawling suburban lawn or a penthouse terrace. When compact apartment balconies are covered at all, the advice too often consists of cramming plastic turf, fairy lights, and oversized rattan sectionals onto a slab barely wide enough to turn around in.
We take a slower, more architectural view. Published from London by Treluim Compact Living Press Ltd, our folio treats even a ninety-centimeter balcony as a serious room—one governed by human ergonomics, wind physics, daylight reflection, and tactile materials that age with dignity.
How We Evaluate Every Idea
Before we recommend a layout, screen, lamp, or textile across our essays, we test it against four practical constraints faced by real apartment residents:
Ritual Before Inventory
We never start with a shopping list. We start by asking what thirty minutes of your day you want to spend outside, then clear away everything that gets in the way of that habit.
Centimeter-Honest Clearances
We measure real door swings, balustrade heights, and knee-to-railing distances so you never buy a chair that traps your ankles or blocks the living room threshold.
Reversible & Lease-Respectful
Because the majority of urban balcony dwellers rent or live under leasehold facade covenants, we prioritize freestanding counterweight planters, tension-lashed screens, and floating floor layers.
