Pillows and Rugs: If you want to do away with table and chair set-up, or if there are space constraints, you can spread out a rug and add some pillows and cushions to make your date night snug and cosy. Add some string lights to bring charm to your date night.
Privacy: Having a date night on your balcony might invite your neighbours’ curious attention. You can maintain privacy with your partner by installing wooden blinds or shutters.
