For many of us, the August vacation just started and we still have plenty of time to enjoy the summer season. By now you will be bored with the design of your terrace and surely you miss some pieces of furniture or additional elements that would help you to enjoy the most of this outdoor space.
Because there is no better time than this to set the terrace or, failing that, the balcony, here are five ideas to help you enjoy the most of an outdoor summer.
Forget about folding chairs
It is true that these chairs are very practical, but the truth is that comfortable have little. If you have enough space choose a spacious and nice sofa. Keep in mind that when dealing with outdoor furniture will be exposed to inclement weather. To keep them in good condition longer, choose rattan furniture or synthetic fibers. If you prefer wood, teak is a great choice. Choose simple remove and put cushions, which can be washed easily.
The importance of a good shadow
In these summer dates, the sun becomes almost an opponent and until it loses force it is impossible to spend much time under its rays if we do not have a good shadow. If you want your terrace to be an ideal space for any time of day, prepare a corner in which to protect you from the sun. Choose from pergolas, awnings or umbrellas, sure to find the right design for your terrace.
Light is the key
During the night these spaces can be really magical, everything will depend on the lighting. In addition, taking care of the appearance of the terrace throughout the day will be able to take advantage of the space to the maximum. If you have problems with the lighting network, choose solar lamps that will also reduce your electric bill.
The green component
If we want to create a perfect outer space we cannot miss the plants. Choose flowers, shrubs, aromatic plants or even trees, but make sure you do not miss your terrace if you do not want to risk your oasis staying in the desert. In addition, plants clean the air and help cool the environment.
Small spaces
When the space is reduced we must squeeze our ingenuity thoroughly to decorate it properly. Luckily, it is becoming easier to design a complete balcony for very small that it is, there are even dwarf barbecues for confined spaces.
