Create a relaxation area

To create a small corner dedicated to relaxation , you can think about adding a hammock, a sofa or a simple armchair. These elements create the ideal context for immersing yourself in reading your favorite book or enjoying a beautiful sunset while sipping a cocktail.

Choose the right lighting to set up the terrace

To create the right atmosphere during summer evenings, enrich your terrace with string lights, small lanterns and candles. This combination of lighting will create a magical atmosphere, revolutionizing the look of your outdoor space!

Add a breakfast table

How nice is it to start the day drinking a good cup of coffee outdoors? To do this, all you need to do is furnish the terrace with a small table and two chairs where you can have breakfast outdoors or enjoy some excellent Sunday brunches. Choose outdoor furniture that is resistant to atmospheric agents or, if space is limited, opt for folding chairs, so that they are not bulky.

Protect yourself with an awning or umbrella

An elegant option to protect yourself from the sun's rays on particularly hot days is certainly the installation of an awning or the addition of a large umbrella. These accessories not only offer a refreshing refuge during the hottest hours, but also add a touch of elegance to your outdoor space. Thanks to these solutions, you will be able to enjoy your terrace at any time of the day!

Add a touch of color with plants and flowers

To set up the terrace in a welcoming way, add a couple of plants and a few pots of scented flowers. If you don't have a green thumb, choose varieties such as lavender, aromatic herbs, aloe and geraniums , which will add a touch of color to your terrace, without requiring too much effort.

Lover of barbecues? Create your own barbecue corner!

If you are thinking about how to furnish an open terrace and you are a lover of summer barbecues, you cannot miss a corner equipped with a grill or barbecue. This space dedicated to outdoor cooking will become the ideal place to give vent to your creativity by preparing delicious dinners to enjoy with friends.

Choose colorful and water-resistant fabrics

To create a designer terrace that combines aesthetics and practicality, enhance the outdoor space with brightly colored cushions and padding. These accessories not only add comfort, transforming your terrace into a welcoming corner, but also embellish the environment with an explosion of color. Also be careful to choose water-repellent and easy-to-clean fabrics, which will ensure that your outdoor space remains impeccable year after year.

The real gem? A small hot tub

If space and the structure of the terrace allow it, consider installing a small swimming pool or hot tub. This not only gives a touch of luxury and exclusivity to your outdoor space, but also allows you to cool off on hot days. Before proceeding, check that the terrace can support the weight and consult an expert for correct installation

Play area for the little ones

Finally, creating a children's play area on your terrace offers a safe space where little ones can have fun outdoors.
