The terrace: your household favourite Summer spot
The terrace becomes everyone’s favourite spaces on any building during the summer time. Whether it is for entertaining friends or simply enjoy the quiet evenings, there isn’t a day in which this spot isn’t enjoyed. The warm temperatures of the season are welcoming to spending every minute outdoors.
Learn how to make the most out of this excellent space.
Create shades
Pergola
A pergola is one of the best investments you can make for your terrace. This covered space increases the household’s useful area and, for that same reason, allow you to enjoy the space. It protects from rain during greyest days of summer, and creates shade during the intense sunlight hours. You can also install a barbecue underneath it, place a meal table or some outdoor lounge chairs. It can be wood, bamboo, semi-open, fully enclosed, glass, transparent or non-transparent. Choose the one that best fits your house’s style and the utility you intend to give it.
Small pot trees
Small trees are also great partners in the creation of shade, as well as adding a colourful and natural feel to the space. If you do not have any sand or soil on the floor, you can plant them in pots, and then you’ll also be able to move them around depending on your needs.
Decorate with character
Vertical gardens
A vertical garden adds a lot of life to any space. It works really well on a terrace because it reinforces the idea of freshness and vitality that are most sought after for these spaces. Pick plants you like the most and build a perspective garden, taking up a whole wall or just a small strip.
Colour in citrus trees
Citrus trees add the splash of colour your terrace needs, with the added bonus of being able to eat the fruits directly from the trees. Your meals will become more flavourful if you pick your oranges directly onto your table.
Colourful textiles
Keep soft blankets at hand to snuggle under on colder nights. Choose bright colours, cheerful colours and bold prints. It’s the details that add character to this space, remember that even if it is outdoors it can still be quite intimate. Excel for aesthetic, but mostly for the comfort.
Allow yourself to be eccentric
Hot tub
Picture yourself in a tub full of hot bubbly water on your terrace, by the end of the day. It’s one of the most relaxing scenarios you can imagine, right? Despite it being a higher investment, the hot tub is worth it when it’s time to rest and enjoy absolute relaxation. Placing a hot tub on a terrace is becoming a more frequent option. However, it is important to make sure that the installation is done correctly, and that the surrounding area is correctly isolated. After that, all you have to do is enjoy it.
Outdoors theatre
Installing a TV on the terrace may result in very pleasant outdoor cinema sessions. Under the pergola, installed directly on the wall or on a piece of furniture, an outdoor TV set allows for a different experience from the one we are, usually, used to having indoors. Both children and adults will agree it’s a great idea!
Outdoors furniture
If you want this to be a space for conversation, reading, or just relaxing, invest in quality furniture: armchairs and outdoor sofas are among the favourites. A meal table is also a good investment, if you intend to entertain friends or family on the terrace.
