1. Design the sun terrace as a party deck
If you often and enjoy organizing outdoor parties, then your sun terrace may be just the right place for it. Just think about how you can incorporate your favorite party accessories there, such as a hammock, a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen and plenty of built-in seating.
2. Sun terrace built from different materials
The combination of wood flooring with concrete elements - like the low wall and stairs shown here in the picture - works particularly well in contemporary, modern and urban homes. In addition to the concrete wall and stairs, consider adding a concrete planter or built-in benches.
3. Green tree in the middle of the sun terrace
This idea is just great! This is a customization of this porch around a tree and is a wonderful way to further integrate it into the yard. Consult an arborist before construction begins to ensure you leave enough room for the tree.
4. Small Verandah
Incorporating a porch into a smaller yard can actually make the outdoor space appear larger. Plus, you'll find it more usable this way. The owners of this charming Spanish Colonial bungalow in Southern California have built a deck that flows into the yard. So they made the most of the space between the ripe yuccas.
5. Porch with dining area
Do you like eating outside? Then plan your sun terrace so that you can place your beautiful dining table and comfortable chairs there for maximum dining enjoyment.

6. Eck-Veranda
Maybe a corner room is missing from your building plan? No problem, you can do it again! You could complement the architecture of your home with a corner-shaped outdoor space. To create a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors, think about sliding glass doors, which are particularly suitable in this case.
7. Round Porch
Let's leave the straight lines and sharp edges of a modern and contemporary house! Yes, the porch can also be round! Frame this outdoor area with a retaining wall, it will give you a feeling of security and act as a windbreak.
8. The veranda continues into the garden landscape

9. Master bedroom deck
Decks don't necessarily have to be huge to have a huge, very positive impact on the lifestyle of the residents. We want to show you a typical case here: a small terrace in front of the bedroom, with just enough space for two deck chairs and a table where you can put a drink and a book. You can make this cozy outdoor area even more homely with a few green plants.
10. Porch in front of the cottage

15. A platform in the middle of the green lawn

This place is embedded in the green of the garden and is constantly sunny in the warm months. A piece of paradise in the garden, isn't it?
