Spring, time to enjoy the longest days and some sunshine. If you are lucky enough to have an outdoor space available, here is a series of six intriguing ideas for setting up your outdoor spaces for a guide on how to furnish your terrace! To embellish a balcony or a covered space there are no strict rules to follow to the letter: it will be important to free your creativity but following a basic idea.
Just as the garden or the entrance to the house are a small business card for those who come to visit you for the first time, even terraces and balconies can become an added value for your entire home. Remember that functionality and style must go hand in hand when it comes to beautifying the terrace: we are in fact talking about a space that must be lived in the best possible way and without crowding the surface of a balcony too much, especially if it is small in size.
How to beautify the terrace in an intelligent way? Let's say immediately that a lot depends on the size of your balcony, but also on the style of the house. This is why before giving you some advice for decorating terraces and balconies we want to give you three general tips to keep in mind before designing your furnished balcony:
1) Stylistic continuity with the home and interior - consistency is key when it comes to furniture. Before starting to think about how to embellish a balcony try to imagine your outdoor space as an "extension" of the house and create a stylistic continuity (in lines and colors) between indoor and outdoor environments. Even a furnished terrace must reflect your taste in interior design!
2) Plants are essential! - Flowers, small fruit trees, aromatic herbs… among the ideas for the terrace, plants should never be missing! A flowered balcony is a joy for the eyes, and during the summer a touch of color will bring a good mood to the whole house. Choose the plants carefully to decorate balconies and terraces taking into account the climate and sun exposure. We also recommend that you alternate ornamental plants with pots of aromatic herbs such as thyme, rosemary or basil. Colors and smells will help create an even more airy and pleasant atmosphere.
3) Optimize spaces - This is also an essential point: the surface of the terrace inevitably ends up influencing your choices in terms of furnishing accessories or decorative accessories. Working with cunning is therefore essential to carefully design a balanced set-up that does not seem too "full" to the eye and that does not hinder the passage of people.
And now let's see together six clever ideas to furnish the terrace with style, a series of solutions to decorate and beautify the outdoors while spending little money!
Furnishing a small terrace has the flavor of a challenge: you need the utmost attention to organize the arrangement of cabinets, decorations and decorative accessories in order not to reduce the floor area too much. How to do it best?
Look at this uncovered balcony: folding chairs and tables are an excellent space-saving solution (and within reach of all budgets), while the vases are wooden containers developed in height. Yes, because it is true that furnishing a small terrace means optimizing space, but it is equally true that decorations and colors certainly cannot be missing!
Another trick to decorate the small terrace is to use the railing to hang suspended planters or decorations, an idea that can be replicated even if you have a masonry balcony (in this case you can use iron supports to hang).
Furnishing a large terrace means having a rather large surface available to be exploited to the fullest. As? There are many ways to embellish a large balcony: you can make a pergola, create a bamboo screen or set it up with a gazebo for outdoor dining on hot summer days.
The first thing to do, however, is to furnish a large terrace with plants! And here you are spoiled for choice, of course, but in our opinion the best choice is to create a mix of ornamental, aromatic and fruit plants. Of course, a lot also depends on the exposure of your balcony, but the green element cannot really be missing when you decide to decorate a terrace.
How to embellish a terrace with plants? Choose some aromatic herbs to plant in smaller pots (they will also be useful in the kitchen and will bring a pleasant smell to the terrace!), While for ornamental plants you can get advice from your trusted gardener. We suggest you to be on the safe side and choose evergreen plants to be watered periodically and to be placed in large pots, so as to make them grow luxuriantly or make them an integral part of the decor of your large terrace!
Owning a house by the sea or living on the coast is a real privilege, and those who have this luck know very well that there is nothing better than enjoying the sea breeze from the balcony. But how to furnish the terrace of a house by the sea?
Focus on the shades of white and blue and create an arrangement that recalls the refreshing colors of the sea and its foam with small lanterns or other decorative accessories. To furnish a terrace overlooking the sea, you can also take up the more "classic" elements of the marine style and decorate it with naval objects, sticks stolen from the beach and small shells.
Finally, give a further touch of freshness and airiness with Mediterranean plants: rosemary, thyme or mint will be a real panacea and will make the atmosphere of your balcony even more unique!
To furnish a modern terrace, focus on the furniture to choose and design an external corner that can create a line of continuity with the rest of the house. Take the opportunity to create a relaxing corner on the balcony, a niche dedicated to your moments of pause or to share with friends or family!
To equip a relaxation corner worthy of the name you will need some basic elements. The coffee table must never be missing, while for the seats a lot depends on your taste and the space you have available: you can choose between armchairs, classic chairs, or colored poufs or cushions for a more eclectic touch. Even a rug will be an excellent decorative element and will also add color and comfort, as well as a table lamp to accompany you during your evening readings.
If you need shelter from the sun, we recommend that you embellish your modern terrace with a shading sail awning, a decidedly scenic solution that will enhance your balcony even more!
Pallets have been very trendy in recent years, and you can also use them to decorate the terrace with DIY! A charming and somewhat rustic setting, but also economical and ecological. With pallets you can make a nice pot holder like the one you see in the picture, a small vertical vegetable garden to hang on the wall and that you can use to arrange pots and plants.
Are you looking for other ideas for decorating a terrace with creative do-it-yourself? Take some fruit crates and turn them into planters, a trendy solution that will allow you to recover old waste materials and transform them into something new. After all, furnishing with wooden boxes is the maximum of fun if you love DIY and decoupage, and these humble containers can also be very useful to decorate a balcony!
Let's close this guide with some ideas for decorating a terrace in a shabby chic style to perfection! What do you need? Of imagination, first of all, and of the beauty of simplicity.
A very shabby chic (and DIY) idea could be to use glass bottles to use instead of the usual flower holders. In reality, you could also decide to recover some glass jars and paint them with colors in delicate pastel shades, thus transforming them into decorative elements in poor art that will embellish the balcony with elegance.
As for lighting, well ... what's better than candles? Whether they are wax or electric, candlelight is essential to create a romantic and relaxed atmosphere! In our store you will find a selection of lanterns and candle holders that you can also use to furnish terraces and balconies and give yourself all the intimacy of a shabby chic setting even in spring and summer!
