The best ideas for penthouse terraces. If we love terraces with their furniture and decor, penthouses also captivate us with their details and outdoor interior design. There are countless penthouse ideas from around the world that inspire us and show us the most beautiful outdoor trends. The penthouse is a space dedicated to tranquility, nature, and a break from urban life. There are several ideas, depending on your style, personality, tastes, and space, to bring your penthouse terrace to life.
1. PENTHOUSE TERRACE DECORATION: MORE SPACE
Terraces have become the most precious asset, but if it’s also the terrace of a penthouse, its dimensions are usually so large that its decorative options skyrocket. Floral trends, plants, decoration, furniture, LED lighting and some ideas to protect us from the sun manage to create this area in a marvel. We can delimit two areas on a penthouse terrace: a dining area with its table and chairs and a living area in which to relax with tons of ideas for its decoration.
2. TERRACE DECORATION: ENSURE SHADE
The main drawback of a penthouse terrace is the amount of sun. That’s why ensuring shade is essential. Ideas such as a customized bioclimatic pergola, shade sails to cover impossible corners with striking fabrics, or awnings with a box and luxury finishes are some of our star products.
3. SAIL AWNINGS These
are custom-made canvas fabrics in a triangular shape, most of them, but they can be made in any size. Their goal is to adapt to any attic terrace and any corner, no matter how impossible it may seem to provide quality shade. They come in numerous different colors and fabrics, and we can choose the one that best suits the client’s needs and tastes.
4. BIOCLIMATIC PERGOLA, THE STAR OF THE CROWN
If you have a fairly large space and prefer to install a fixed aluminum structure with perfect finishes, and also want to choose the degree of sunlight that enters and the ventilation, the bioclimatic pergola option is perfect. You’ll enjoy your terrace every day of the year; in summer you’ll have good shade, and in winter you can protect yourself from the colder months and the rain. A very tempting option is to install glass enclosures on your pergola so you can enjoy your views in winter and maintain a microclimate inside.
5. BOX AWNINGS, WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
A very popular idea for our penthouse terraces is to choose a high-quality awning, with a box or semi-box, which is a brilliant idea. Box awnings feature a metal box to store the canvas and part of the structure, thus extending the awning’s life and protecting it from inclement weather year-round. You can choose different finishes, various fabrics and colors, and wind, rain, and sun sensors for your convenience.
6. FIXED FURNITURE ON THE ATTIC TERRACE
If you’re looking for terrace decoration ideas, take note of this one. Use one of the corners for a built-in bench with storage. You can store cushions and accessories when not in use. Add a folding garden table and chairs to the set. You can conveniently stack them in winter when not in use (remember to cover them with a protector). By the way, this one even has an outdoor shower to cool off when it gets hot.
7. TOTAL PRIVACY
A key factor when decorating a penthouse terrace is ensuring privacy. Reed screens are a very popular option, but our awnings and pergolas, in addition to protecting us from the sun, provide us with complete privacy from the neighbors.
6. PLAY WITH THE FLOOR ON YOUR PENTHOUSE TERRACE
It’s so large that you can create different areas using the flooring. You can use wood tiles and artificial grass, or combine it with outdoor hydraulic tiles or large-format porcelain stoneware where the joints are barely visible, providing pure elegance and a more uniform surface.
7. USE LIGHT, SUMMERY COLORS
When choosing textiles for your penthouse terrace, choose neutral, light tones that don’t absorb much light. If you like vibrant colors, like blue or red, make sure the fabrics are suitable for outdoor use, as otherwise, they’ll fade under the influence of sunlight.
8. PENTHOUSES WITH SMALL TERRACES
To achieve privacy, planters with mini cypress trees can be placed around the perimeter. These plants, along with giving off a pleasant lemon scent, offer protection from prying eyes. Beautiful furniture, plants, and garden decorations combined with an awning-umbrella can be perfect for transforming your terrace into a pleasant space.
9. LIGHT UP YOUR PENTHOUSE TERRACE
It’s a must-have for any outdoor space, including your penthouse terrace! To enjoy it at any time, plan your lighting.
Choose LED strips for your awning or pergola so you can make the most of your evening. You can choose LED lights to mark the perimeter, or place solar-powered beacons on your plants. And don’t forget the lanterns! The diffused light will create a very pleasant atmosphere.
10. GLASS CURTAINS
If your penthouse terrace has impressive views, the ideal solution is to install an enclosure or glass curtains that don’t obscure them, but rather give them prominence. This way, you can enjoy the horizon and create a microclimate inside so you can enjoy your terrace 365 days a year.
