February and March are months when we’re tempted to start thinking about how we can spruce up our terraces, that outdoor space that serves as our escape to unwind, relax, unwind, and enjoy family life even more. Sunny days and pleasant nights—spring and summer are for enjoying the terrace. And to make the most of it, we’ve compiled the 10 best ideas for you to take note of, because the sunshine and high temperatures are soon to arrive.
1. Eye-catching rugs
Eye-catching rugs? Yes, you heard right… rugs are a hit for outdoor terrace decoration. The trend in outdoor spaces to replicate the life inside the home has made rugs a popular choice.
Made from synthetic fibers, they are especially resistant to fading caused by UV rays, rain, or humidity, and also provide comfort to floors and a more polished aesthetic.
2. Awnings ready
The truth is that we’ve used it occasionally during the winter, but now it’s its busiest time to protect us from the sun. We’ll check the fabric; if it has any dust or rain residue, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water and mild soap to leave it as good as new. If it has any major damage or is older, our technical department can come and assess it to ensure it’s fully operational. We’ll also need to check the motor, remote control, and other accessories to ensure they’re fully operational for the coming months.
3. Small details
If your patio furniture is in optimal condition and you don’t want to invest in new patio furniture, you can add a few details like cushions or seat covers. You can also paint them or add decorations to the table, a pouf, or a side table, and so on, and it’ll feel like we’re having a new change unlike in previous years.
4. Nature on the wall
In inspirational gardens around the world, we’ve seen the trend of placing plants, flowers, and herbs on the wall in a completely aesthetic, organized, and colorful way to bring your terrace to life. Draw inspiration from your own wall to create your own arrangement: you can choose black-painted wooden boxes and screw them directly to the wall, then place small pots of succulents and climbing plants inside.
Or you can choose a climbing frame and add real plants or an arrangement of artificial ones.
5. Furniture that optimizes space
When choosing a piece of furniture, detail, or new element for your terrace or garden, we must be clear about the dimensions of the terrace and then choose the one that best optimizes the space. If the terraces are small, we can opt for individual, custom-made furniture. This way, we can play with sizes and create ideal atmospheres without clutter or overlapping elements.
6. Biocymatic Pergolas, all ready!
If your terrace is large and you have the space, you’ll love the idea of installing a pergola to enjoy your outdoor life even more. You can add garden dining furniture, LED lighting for the night, accessories like music, etc., but if you already have a pergola on your terrace, you can dedicate yourself to checking out all its functions and getting it ready for your outdoor lunches or dinners. Thanks to them, we can enjoy our terraces every day of the year.
You can also schedule an appointment with our team of professionals to discuss the slats, motors, remote controls, locking and unlocking systems, sensors, accessories, and whether you have home automation.
7. Plants, and more plants
If there’s one thing that brings life to our terraces, it’s plants. In spring, they bloom and flourish again. We can choose our own aromatic plants or a selection of vegetables. This also works, among other things, as a relaxing therapy. It’s also a great way to add freshness to any space and decorate it. It’s a great way to breathe pure oxygen and brighten up that little corner of our outdoor space.
8. Lighting
Terraces change from day to night. During the day, greenery plays a very important role alongside plants, pots, and vegetation, but at night everything becomes more subtle, more relaxing, and thanks to LED lights, candles, and garlands, we create an almost magical atmosphere. There are thousands of ways to illuminate your outdoor area, such as lanterns, glass jars, candlesticks, or glasses. Candles, candelabras, glass vases… You can choose the one you like best and that best suits your interior design.
9. Review the floors
Depending on the type of flooring you have on your terrace, now’s the time to give it a good cleaning and prepare it for the summer. If you have teak flooring, you can start moisturizing it after the winter with a special teak oil and also take the opportunity to thoroughly vacuum the joints. For damp stains on terracotta floors (such as the fences under flower pots), it’s best to use a saltpeter-removing product. It will be easily removed, and your floor will look perfect again.
10. Treat yourself!
From time to time, we have to try to fulfill our dreams. If you’ve always wanted to relax in a comfortable hammock or create a space with cushions and mats for your yoga and relaxation sessions, now you should make room for your hobbies. Also, if you want to add multifunctional benches, 55-pa666, to sit down and also store all your accessories underneath, this is the ideal option.
