What are the main criteria for choosing a chair for a balcony? And none: choose what you like. But in fairness, we note that there are options that are not always appropriate on the balcony.
For example, an executive's office chair will definitely not work here, unless you are definitely going to make an office out of the balcony in the photo below:

In this case, the office model will do. In all other options, it is advisable to choose a light armchair, sometimes even unusual. A balcony is, after all, a bright room almost in the fresh air, and you need to design it accordingly. Below we will show you a great selection of seat models that you will like.
The first idea is as simple as possible - an ordinary armchair in the very corner of the balcony, in which it is comfortable to sit and read a book in good weather.

Above is a shelf for books, which, together with the chair itself, turns the balcony into a spacious book corner. If you do not want to clutter up the free space with ironing boards or tables, we would highly recommend this solution.

Further, a more unusual option is a hanging chair. This is a rather daring idea for a resort house by the sea or at least a forest. To sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery - what else do you need?

The implementation of the idea is as simple as possible: it is not difficult to construct this model yourself and hang it up. Therefore, even if you do not find a hanging chair for the balcony on sale, you can order it from the masters or make it yourself (provided that the arms grow exactly from the shoulders). And some more pendant models:

And who said that there should be chairs on the balcony? How do you like the option with benches, which is in the photo below?

In our opinion, it is a very good solution, which is universal and suitable for any modern and not very modern balconies. Those. the bench can be placed not only on large loggias, but also on compact small balconies in high-rise buildings. Look at the photo and figure out if such an idea is possible for your home. We are more confident that it is possible.
Wicker rattan chairs (for example) have always looked appropriate on balconies. And the proof of this is this photo:

It seems that such models were created to be placed on the balcony or, at least, in the fresh air.
The next idea is design. This chair is definitely the development of some designer, and it looks like this:

The model is bold, unique and unrepeatable. At least, we were not able to meet this in any interior of the house, but we have seen a lot of them, believe me.
Further - not an armchair, but a hammock with a small sofa (sofa, if you like) against the wall.

The solution is unusual and not very practical, because it takes up 80% of the balcony space. It is definitely not for the balconies of standard apartments. Rather, such an idea can be realized in a country house or a country house, in the fresh air, but not in urban life. However, take a note.
Next up are the chic leather armchairs commonly seen in expensive resort hotels. They are as convenient as possible, but also very expensive. However, they are worth the money, they look incredibly good. And you yourself see everything:

They are appropriate only on those balconies where the windows reach the balcony floor, because otherwise you will “lie” in this dining table chair and look at the wall, and this, frankly, is not very interesting. And even better, they are suitable for a small terrace, where there are no windows or walls, but only railings and a view of the sea.
Below you see chairs ... or chairs ... however, it doesn't matter. We are interested in the very idea of placing such furniture on the balcony, and it is relevant. Your balcony does not have to be exactly the same as in the picture below. Such armchairs with a table will "fit" even into a standard interior.

Take note - this is a good idea with taste.
What is pictured below is a papasan chair. It actually has such a strange name, but the main thing is that it is suitable for location on the balcony. Here you can read a book, or just relax, bask in the sun, admire the beautiful view from the window.

Even if the view from your window is poor (and we are almost sure that it is), papasan will still be useful, because a comfortable rest in a sunny place and fresh air will not harm anyone.
Already started to round off the article, when they suddenly remembered: THERE IS A KRASLA-ROCKER. How can it be without them? We look at the pictures:

This is not installed on the balcony (we noticed it too), but nothing prevents you from placing it here.
The next model is classic. She could be seen in American films: usually old people sit at their houses, swing and watch passers-by. The idea of such furniture is perfect for balconies, especially ours (long and narrow).
