On beautiful and sunny days, the terrace is the ideal space for outdoor relaxing moments. By yourself, or with family or friends, the time spent on the terrace is a source of disconnection from the daily routine, but also of recharging your energy and confidence. Just as the garden or the entrance to the house is like a business card for those who come to visit for the first time, the terrace and the balcony can become an added value for your entire home.
Style and functionality
From the design phase, you have to decide on the purpose of the terrace – more moments of solitude and disconnection or, rather, moments of relaxation and parties with friends. This decision will influence the choice of furniture placed on the terrace, as well as the design style. If the terrace space is generous enough, you can create both a relaxation corner by yourself, and an open area with a table, bar and even a barbecue, for parties with family and friends. A natural style that combines various textures such as stone or wood can be a suitable solution for a mixed-purpose terrace.
Continuity and harmony
Even if it is outside, in the open air and not completely covered or enclosed, a terrace is still an integral part of the house. That is why it is important that the interior design of the terrace continues the style of the interior space of the home, whether it is the color palette, finishing materials or textures. Including furniture items such as chairs, tables and cushions can continue the style inside the room connected to the terrace. Thus, the terrace will become an extension of the house and an integrative visual effect will be obtained that conveys coherence and harmony.
Durability and efficiency
In addition to aesthetic criteria, a very important element to consider in the design of the terrace is its durability. As it is exposed to environmental conditions, it is essential to use specific materials that are durable and reliable for a long time, both for the floor and for the walls, delimiting niches, furniture and storage spaces. Remember that the main purpose of decorating a terrace is to create a warm and inviting environment to spend time with friends and family. Therefore, even when you need additional storage spaces, optimize the space both in height and in length and keep in mind that the terrace should not be too busy or the atmosphere too oppressive.
Plants and decorative objects
Plants must never be missing from the terrace. Choose your patio plants carefully, depending on your climate and sun exposure. You can insert between pots with decorative flowers some pots with aromatic herbs, such as thyme, rosemary or basil. A balcony or terrace full of flowers is a feast for the eyes, and the colors and smells will help create an even more airy and pleasant atmosphere. Add decorative items such as scented candles, decorative pillows, rugs, a floor lamp, and artwork for a welcoming and comforting space.
