Your modern terrace in just a few steps

As soon as summer approaches, we suddenly feel the need to renovate the balcony to enjoy it as much as possible while the season allows it. Here's how to get a modern terrace in a few steps: A modern terrace is based on three principles: design, light and greenery. Reliable design - a matter of quality Good design will protect your furniture from constant exposure to sunlight, humidity and wind, which can cause it to deteriorate over time. For this reason, we suggest opting for resistant, long-lasting and high-quality materials that can withstand all weather conditions. In addition, you must take into account the maintenance of the materials: good design must not only be durable, but also easy to maintain. CC PIPER SAND Sofas The best materials to renovate your terrace are steel, wrought or galvanized iron, acacia or teak wood and synthetic fibers such as Olefin fabric or Sunbrella fabric: all durable options that will never go out of style. Another super resistant material is Technopolymer or Polyethylene. Once you check these two boxes off your list, your deck will be a success!

It is important to consider not only direct light, but also the one that gives the environment that comfortable and easy-going atmosphere we aspire to. Soft and suffused light transforms your living space into a dreamy and romantic environment. This veiled effect can be achieved by placing moderate light sources near plants, corners and on the floor. Remember: the light must never be blinding! https://pin.it/4640C57 Aqua Globe by Slide Design Green – the undisputed protagonist The deck is the place in your home where nature can thrive and take over the space in all its glory. A deck without plants or flowers looks unfinished, devoid of life. It is important to place plants strategically here and there on the deck to make it look inviting, rather than bare. Additionally, a space that is close to nature is inherently more relaxing for the mind and helps you unplug during a summer evening or after a long day at work. When it comes to choosing which plants to buy, we recommend playing with colors, textures, and sizes that can withstand both the summer heat and the blowing wind. Renovate or cover old flooring When furnishing your terrace or garden, keep the flooring in mind. If it doesn’t match your furniture or the style you want to recreate, consider covering it with a new floor or with wooden planks or floating floors. As a valid (and cheaper) alternative, you can also use a nice outdoor rug, beautiful for recreating welcoming atmospheres and boho chic styles. Horizon to share A key factor in making your terrace modern is to lighten it of any superfluous element that could deprive it of its intrinsic nature of an open and welcoming environment. Going up to the terrace should be like a breath of fresh air that opens up towards the horizon. For this reason, we recommend positioning the outdoor seating towards the most pleasant view, so that you can share the horizon with friends and family. Positioning all the furniture towards the center with your back to the view is counterproductive, especially in an area full of greenery or from which you can enjoy the sunset.
