How to decorate terraces of reduced dimensions.

Small pretty terrace in Marbella

​​Would you like to make the most of your small terrace? Don’t you know how to take advantage of your balcony? 
You may not imagine the possibilities of outdoor living that are hidden in your little outdoor lounge.

For your terrace to become the ideal place to disconnect from the daily routine, it is not necessary to be a vast space. 

​Here we show you some tricks to make the most of your terrace.

​Choose light colours.

When painting your outdoor space, it is convenient to choose light and bright colours.

White is especially pointed because it reflects light and gives a sense of spaciousness.  Also ochre, beige or orange are suitable colours.

​Avoid dark wood panels or strident tones. Tiles with geometric motifs can also be overwhelming and give the optical impression of shrinking.

​Pay attention to the floor.

​Although the walls are significant, the floors are no less important. Think that we have more tendency to look down than up. Materials such as porcelain or marble reflect the light very well and help to enlarge the space.

But if your flooring is not in the best condition or outdated, specific outdoor rugs are the best option.

They give a warm touch to the stay and can be made bespoke. An outdoor carpet provides a warm feel to the area, and you will renovate the floor of your terrace easily.

In PATIO we recommend NATURA rugs. They are washable and can be used with children and pets in total safety.

​Choose the right furniture.

This is the fundamental step to make your terrace the most desired space in the house.

Forget the high-back armchairs that are visually recharged. Do not obstruct the passageways and take into account the access doors. Use light colours in the furniture and complements.

Take the measurements well and , if you need it, in the PATIO Top Garden Furniture stores we can help you with the design. We can even go to your home to take measures or to test the furniture with you*.
(* according to availability, check in-store conditions).

We recommend reduced design and dimensions furniture and of light look.

A modular sofa can be adapted to any space, makes good use of the corners and creates a charming meeting area.

​Pay attention to the fact that the cushions are made of particular outdoor fabric and Quick Dry-type filling. You can leave them out longer, and their maintenance will be easy and practical

​Consider to create two zones.

If your terrace is narrow but long, you can create two zones.

On one side you can place a set of sofas and on the other a small dining room where you can have an excellent breakfast taking advantage of the natural light.

The NOVA lacquered aluminium tables and central stand are ideal for small spaces and help to visually lighten the environment.

BISTRO folding chairs and tables are also highly recommended. Their main advantage is that they can be easily collected and stored when not in use and increase the versatility of the terrace

​Leave the central space of the terrace free.

Whenever possible, try to keep the central space free of furniture and objects. In this way, you will achieve a greater sense of spaciousness.

​The clutter and random location of the elements make the stay seem smaller.

​Choose the proper lighting.

​Even when there is no natural light, we can still enjoy the terrace. On hot summer days, there is nothing better than ending the day with a refreshing evening.

​You need proper lighting for that. In PATIO we have a wide range of outdoor lamps that will help you create a welcoming atmosphere.

Escape from wall panels and cold coloured light bulbs. They will dazzle you and make you miss the rest of the terrace or night landscape.

​The ideal is to use a ceiling or table lamp that projects light onto objects without disturbing the eyes. If you don’t have enough light points, don’t worry because there are USB-rechargeable LED lamps.

​Do not overflow with decorative elements and accessories.

When giving the final decorative touch, it is essential to choose the ornamental elements correctly.

They must be few, one or two are sufficient, and of large size or weight. If you put a lot of small and lightweight pieces, you will feel burdened and be afraid to throw them to the ground when you move.

​For small terraces, we recommend decorative glass elements. In this way, the reflections of light on the glass will visually enlarge the room and give an exquisite touch.
