Starting to decorate your terrace or garden always raises questions. Choosing furniture and outdoor accessories is not always a simple task.

In PATIO we want to help you and that's why we have prepared a guide with basic points to consider. 

Keep reading if you want to know what are the key points to keep in mind to start your decorative project.

1. Dispense sunlight using moving elements.

Sunlight gives us life and joy, but depending on the time of year we may need shade and freshness.​

It is a very common mistake to install permanent enclosures that are not always useful since the direction of the sun’s rays varies according to the time of year.
​
With adjustable and reclining sunshades like the BALI model, you can always have the best protection from the sun’s rays at any time of the day.

These sunshades are available in different sizes, colours and sizes so that they can adapt to any space..

2. Choose a dining table according to your needs.

When choosing a dining table you have to see how many people are going to use it and how often.

With the extendable BISTRO tables, you will always be right. Thanks to its system of opening of maximum comfort you can easily adapt your dining area according to the needs of each moment. You’ll be the perfect host.

BISTRO is available in different colours and sizes to fit any outdoor space.

3.  Pay attention to lighting.

How many times have we had to give up a pleasant evening for lack of sufficient lighting? Our terrace can have an enviable natural light during the day, but at nightfall, we do not have enough light or some areas are too dark.

In PATIO you will find a collection of outdoor lamps that will help you create the ideal environment.

Thanks to their watertight resin structure, they can stay in your garden throughout the year.

And some are rechargeable with a simple USB charger, so you can forget about cables and plugs.

4. Keep some espace for storing.

On our terrace or garden, we spend most of our family hours. Toys, cushions, sports equipment... Having a space reserved for storage is very important in your daily life.

​In PATIO you will find versatile storage chests that will allow you to put order in your outdoor life. They are made of aluminium with a special polyester coating so they can remain uncovered all year round. And because it has large handles and large wheels you can move them almost effortlessly.

5. Pay attention to decoration items.

You can find decorative elements for your terrace of all kinds of shapes, materials and colours. But do not abuse them because crowding space will only get you see nothing.

​Our team always recommends opting for few elements but embellish the piece on which it is exposed. As the collection of 2021 ceramics by Carme Vicens that will give a touch of colour and joy.

6. Use your common sense to buy.

We’ve all found that we’ve bought something that when we get home we don’t like as much as in the store or that we just don’t have as much space as we thought. For this it is important to take the measures well and if possible to make a paper sketch with the available space.

​In PATIO we can advise you to get a project suitable to your needs. Without stress and at your own pace, with our home furniture testing service* you can try any collection you want in your outdoor space without a purchase commitment. This way you will always be right with your purchase.

7. Choose washable materials.

​We are not going to deceive you: children litter, and a lot. And pets are not left behind in this aspect. If this is your case we recommend the use of washable and breathable materials such as porofin or porotex.

Its maintenance only requires an abundant stream of warm water and neutral detergent. You can wash them every day with complete peace of mind. And since they’re antifungal and antibacterial, you can take care of your health and that of yours effortlessly.

8. Trust only experienced professionals.

Be wary of the bargains and bargains you can find on the internet or in low-cost stores. Often cheap is expensive. The low quality of the materials you can find in some places are not designed to withstand the climate of the Costa del Sol.

In PATIO all our products are subject to rigorous quality controls through our partner NS INTERNATIONAL.  That’s why you have a 10-year warranty* and a permanent stock of cushions and spare parts..
