Enhance a terrace with plants, lights…
There is no denying it: whether it is attached to a house or an apartment, the terrace is a real asset in a home! But because it is not always easy to know how to highlight and sublimate an outdoor space, the editorial staff of Déco.fr gives you some ideas for creating the most beautiful terrace possible. With photos to inspire you of course!
Enhance a terrace with lights
If the terrace is very practical during the day to enjoy the sun and take a quiet nap, we also appreciate it when evening has fallen… To organize small aperitifs with friends or family meals of course! And to create a warm and friendly atmosphere on your terrace, rather than installing large spotlights in the ground or spotlights on the walls, why not opt for nice secondary lighting ? You can achieve this very easily (and at little extra cost) by investing in:
- Light garlands that you can run on the railing of your balcony. Simple or multicolored for a guinguette spirit, it’s up to you!
- Lanterns and candles specially designed for the outdoors;
- Bright garden furniture such as a flowerpot or an LED pouf!
Enhance a terrace by creating a harmonious atmosphere
If you want your terrace to be as functional as it is aesthetic, rather than arranging it by adding mismatched furniture mottled from right to left, think a little in advance about the style of decoration you would like to put in place, and arrange it. it in function!
To create a boho and cozy decor at the same time, bet for example on: a woven wooden garden furniture, a pretty outdoor rug in the center of the terrace, a hanging chair to amplify the cocooning side, without forgetting an avalanche of cushions and plaids to invite you to idleness!
To create a beautiful visual harmony, do not multiply the colors, and stay in soft and chic tones such as beige and gray for example.
Sublimate a terrace thanks to a green setting
You are lucky enough to have a terrace in town and you are not sure how to arrange it? And why not make it a veritable green setting in which you can simply go green and recharge your batteries? To do this, all you have to do is fill your terrace with plants , flowers , cacti , small shrubs and other floral borders that you choose in all sizes and colors to bring maximum life and dynamism! And if you want to grow your own vegetables or your aromatic garden from your outdoor space, do not hesitate to indulge yourself with a small vegetable patch especially.
Once seated on your terrace, you won’t even feel like you’re in town, we guarantee it…
Enhance a terrace by delimiting the different areas
Another very good tip to follow to harmoniously arrange a terrace: remember to clearly define different areas on the latter (for example: a “dining” corner, a “relaxation” corner, a “gardening” corner , etc.). Once these spaces are well defined, consider delimiting them from a visual point of view to make your outdoor space easily readable; for example, you can do this by changing the floor covering for each area: grass for the “sun” area, wood for the “gardening” area, imitation stone tiles for the dining area, etc.
