1. A set of patio lights so you can keep the balcony illuminated with function, style, and grace. The string lights add a little something-something that will make all other balconies jealous.
2. A charcoal grill because you do not have to be a Bob Belcher to know that big flavor can be served on a small grill. Whether hot dogs, tofu dogs, or hot tofu dogs, your balcony can handle the flavor.
3. An outdoor rug that'll let you style up the often dirty balcony floor by introducing elements of elegant wavey patterns and vibrant coloring. Of course, this outdoor rug is perfect because it can be forever (or at least for a while) protected from the elements.
4. An insect trap to help you enjoy your tranquility while you relax on your balcony and not have to deal with the feeling of a bug resting on your forehead (makes me itchy just writing that).
5. A set of wicker chairs so you can be equipped with some classic comfy vibes while getting cozy for an after-dinner rest. Wicker is, of course, a go-to for anything outdoors due to its durability, and this set even comes with some plush cushions for easy living.
6. A portable fan if you live in a humid swamp or arid desert with no ventilation. This'll keep you cool and calm as those warm temps begin to rise.
7. And a portable heater because we should all be able to enjoy our balcony no matter how chilly it may be outside. A tiny, nonintrusive portable heater will keep you seriously warm through the power of propane and propane accessories.
8. A balcony umbrella so you can beat the heat while still having fun in the sun — talk about a win/win. In addition, this umbrella provides width for days (we're talking feet) while also giving you a few color options for style.
9. A set of dishes to help you separate the inside plates from the outside dinnerware that will be able to withstand the elements better and support the juiciest of burgers. The mesmerizing pattern on these 12 plates screams "fancy outside eating."
10. A planter box because, hey, if you're going to chillax by the balcony all day, you may as well grow some herbs and plants, too. A planter box is, in a way, a balcony for your plants to rest and grow while adding life amidst the concrete and steel.
11. A dining table so you can start enjoying that sweet grilled corn the moment the calendar hits summer. This table is outdoor certified and won't succumb to the elements as fast (plus there's a space for an umbrella, see above).
12. A set of seat cushions — even the nicest outdoor tables and chairs inevitably include wood, metal, or mesh, all of which are not the most comfortable on your seat. However, a simple cushion will keep your keister comfy as you snooze for days.
13. A set of rocking chairs that's perfect whether you're overlooking a lake or perched high on Park Avenue — relaxing on a rocking chair just hits differently. Rock in style as these two chairs come in different colors and include a foldable table.
14. A privacy screen because what happens on the balcony should stay on the balcony and away from prying eyes. A simple yet stylish privacy screen is ideal for letting you sunbathe in peace.
15. A dining set so you don't have to spend hours buying all unique furniture when you can opt for the perfect set in one efficient click. The wood adds earthy elements while giving unmistakable style.
16. A hanging chair to better help you rock with the wind while enjoying the sunny rays off your fancy balcony. A swing chair is A) fun; B) comfy; and C) stylish. Or, better put, D) all of the above.
17. A cooler that'll be anything but your moldy, white stationary cooler that has been in the same spot since the Regan Administration. This cooler is better, faster, and stronger because it has wheels, a cup holder, and a lovely wood finish.
18. A mosquito net because we want those pesky, relentless creatures, you know, the ones that go buzzzzz, far away from us and our food. Any natural mosquito magnet will tell you that life is rough, so a net to drape over the table will do wonders during the summertime when the weather is fine (for mosquitoes).
19. A self-watering railing planter so you can A) not worry about scheduled watering — that's what the rain is for — and B) be able to show off all those pretty flowers from high up. Simply connect to your balcony rail and witness flowery perfection every time.
20. A citronella candle to help set the mood with little more than a flick of the lighter. Enjoy a mesmerizing flame from a candle that smells lovely and can even help repel our enemy, the mosquito, away from the balcony.
21. A multisurface broom because you gotta keep the balcony floor clean; you just must! So a wide broom (two feet to be specific) that can handle multiple surfaces can take on the rough terrain of a bumpy balcony floor with gusto.
22. A piece of wall art so you are able to flex your art muscles, all by doing little more than hanging a piece on the wall. The sun art is the perfect symbolism for all the balcony resting you will be up to this summer.
23. A set of outdoor Bluetooth speakers to help you now bump up the beats and set the vibe on any given day. These speakers pack a punch while coyly looking like rocks resting in their natural habitat.
24. A terra-cotta planter pot that'll add some bonus style points to your plants while showing off your green thumb with aplomb. The striking patterning on this pot will look good even sans plants!
25. A wind chime to help you mindfully reflect on the fruits of your labor while you sip mint lemonade. There is something so meditative about a wind chime brushing against the air as you rest.
