Get ready your garden or terrace for this winter

Some think that once the summer is over we can no longer use our outer space. In PATIO we are convinced of the opposite. In winter or autumn time  we can enjoy our terrace or garden more than ever.

Everyone who knows the Costa del Sol or Andalusia, know that we have a privileged climate 365 days a year.  Even in winter, the temperatures are mild and pleasant.

In different ways, but if you follow some basic tips this winter you can enjoy your outdoor space just as or more than in summer. Read on if you want to know how to prepare your terrace, patio, porch or garden to enjoy it this season. 

1. Change the orientation of your garden furniture.

Whether we have a set of sofas or a wonderful dining table with their respective armchairs, it’s time to change their orientation and/or site.

​Try to place them in the areas that provide more shelter. If we adjust furniture set by sticking to a wall we can protect ourselves from the first fresh winds.

Another option is to orient our furniture to receive as much sunlight as possible, preferably with morning light. This way your outdoor stay will have a pleasant temperature the rest of the day.

2. Heavy artillery strip.

Let’s look in the trunk of memories for all kinds of cotton and dralon cushions, blankets, fluffy seat cushions for dining chairs and a good outdoor carpet.

Use any complement that makes the evening more welcoming and makes you feel tucked in and comfortable.

3. Use season plants and flowers.

Protect the space with PVC flowerpots and vines and climbing plants around that change from green to reddish when the cold arrives.

​They will help us to regulate the temperature and will make the stay create an atmosphere of warm colours.

4. Illuminate your outdoor space more than ever.

Obviously, in winter we have fewer hours of sunshine. We recommend using DUOCON type cordless lamps. They are trending this autumn because of their COOL WOOD style and they don’t need a light point, as their rechargeable bulbs are easily removed and loaded with USB in a few hours.

They can be attached to your rope in any area and give a warm light and thanks to its remote control you can change the intensity of the same according to needs.

Add thick candles in white and cream tones on some quinqués that let you see the flame and your evenings will be unforgettable. 

5. Beware of the wind.

 To bring more warmth to the environment, you can place a nicecanopy to protect us from dew or wind. They are placed just above the furniture set or horizontally to avoid side winds.

6. Use your BBQ frequently.

Having a barbecue on your terrace or garden not only guarantees you to prepare delicious meals, but it also provides an extra source of heat. In winter more than ever a good meeting with friends or family around a good fire.para editar.

7. Cover the furniture wich are not in use.

Identify which furniture you are going to use this winter and protect those you will not use until spring comes.
If you’re not using your pool loungers or beach hammocks this winter, keep them under cover or wear them winter covers. You’ll extend their lifespan and keep them spotless when you need them again.

Come to your nearest PATIO centre and let us help you prepare your outdoor space this winter like you never imagined. We’re waiting for you!
