Promising review: "I bought this bistro set for the great navy blue color, which is perfect on my balcony. But I am delighted with how comfortable and sturdy the chairs are. Very, very highly recommended." —Anonymous

Price: $143.99+ (originally $330, available in two colors)

2.A sun- and rain-resistant acacia wood bar cart that's not only super charming but also highly useful. You might use it as a plant stand, for mixing up drinks outside, or maybe even to serve up some snacks to your lucky guest (and they'd better feel special because there's only enough space to invite one person, and you chose them).

3.A peacock statue so ornate and magnificent, your balcony will 100% be the envy of the entire neighborhood. I know outdoor space is limited, but this eye-catching piece is totally worth the sacrifice, IMO!

Price: $489.99 (originally $919)

5.A pair of solar-powered outdoor lanterns to add just a touch of *magic* once the sun goes down. They're giving Tinkerbell vibes, don't you think?

6.A rectangular planter (or two!) built with both fashion and function in mind. The polyethylene finish looks sleek but also makes it flexible, crack- and rust-resistant, and relatively lightweight. Plus, it's already got drainage holes — which means, you can confidently plant some pretty little flowers!

7.A weather-resistant outdoor umbrella that's not only super duper functional during the day (shade, anyone?) but also long after the sun's gone down as it has LED lights on the underside to keep the good vibes going and add even more ambience.

8.Or, a triangular shade sail if a big ol' patio umbrella simply won't fit in your space This cool-looking shade comes in 27 sizes, so you're bound to find the perfect fit. Plus, it's much more unique than a traditional umbrella, style-wise that is.

10.An accordion-style, faux-leaf privacy screen that dresses up the space while also providing some much needed privacy from nosy neighbors and curious onlookers. In lieu of a fenced-in backyard, this is as about as good as it gets.

Price: $22.99+ (available in 19 sizes and shapes)

15.And a ceramic garden stool that looks more like a contemporary art sculpture than a functional piece of furniture (even though you can in fact use it as a tiny seat or as a plant stand).

28.A set of four artificial succulents so you can enjoy some charming ~greenery~ but without any of the maintenance. These are especially handy if the lighting on your balcony isn't ideal for growing real plants and/or if you have pets that like to munch on anything, toxic or not. Little plant babies are always a nice touch (even if they're technically fake).
