Think about your needs and prioritize only one of them

Do you love to organize dinners with your friends on the terrace? Or do you prefer a cozy space to sunbathe and enjoy your time alone? Large decks can accommodate several settings, like a dining area, a resting area, and even a shower. However, if your space is limited, it is better to choose a single setting to get the most out of it without overloading it. Remember: less is always more.

The best furniture for a small terrace

If you don't want unnecessary weight, forget about big furniture and opt for small pieces with folding, lightweight designs. Sometimes, a boho-style table and two chairs or armchairs with colorful cushions are enough to give life to a balcony. A practical and exciting solution is using the balcony railing to install a small table.

The main idea is to avoid compact parts, prioritizing see-through effects. And suppose you want to renovate. In that case, you always have the option of building a bench using the wall as a backrest to take advantage of every centimeter. You can also install a glass railing to camouflage your terrace. Prioritize furniture made of natural materials, such as wicker or rattan and wood that does not lose its original color when exposed to the sun or deteriorate with moisture. The most important thing is ensuring that the wooden furniture has a layer of protective coal specifically for the outdoors. Never use indoor furniture on your terrace for a long time since it is very likely that the rain and the sun will turn off its color in the long run.

Stainless steel, your great outdoor ally

Do you live on the coast or in a very rainy area? Then stainless steel will be the best ally for your terrace. This material is resistant to the passage of time, as it is very effective against salt corrosion or oxidation.

You can even use it as a side table for your unexpected dinners.

Therefore, we can guarantee that it will be very resistantreclaimed wood Our Suzzete armchair, for example, is made of construction scaffolding wood from the Netherlands. When the work is finished, the scaffold is dismantled. At that point, we take advantage of it, and we use the slats to create furniture with a unique finish and full of history.

Plants, always plants

Use your small outdoor corner to host plants you could not keep healthy inside your home because of their volume or specific needs. Of course, our favorite option is to plant a tree or shrub in a large pot: we suggest an olive tree or a rose tree for the sunniest areas and a camellia for the darkest corners. And what do you think of climbing jasmine to give lushness to a wall or railing?

Take advantage of balconies and terrasses' verticality: Hanging pots and baskets

Don’t forget about lighting

Small terraces do not need massive sources of light. They just need a small set of garlands, some aromatic candles (vegan candles are even better), or auxiliary lamps to create a magical and intimate atmosphere.

Neelam Lamp Our specialists recommend portable lamps. During the winter, you can use them indoors and place them in different rooms according to the moment's need. Solar-powered lamps are another great option, as many small terraces do not have a power outlet.

Do you want an original terrace? Then, decorate your wall with unique living panels!

Did you know that some plants can also live outside the pot? For example, the family of Tillandsias, known as aerial plants, can stay healthy for years by extracting nutrients from particles suspended in the environment.
