With all the different styles and options, it can be really difficult to find and choose the right one for your own patio design. In any case, the most important thing is that you stay true to the style of the rest of the furnishings (inside) in order to achieve a harmonious overall picture. And with this rule in mind, you can get really creative. That's exactly the problem, because you somehow lack creativity and ideas? We would like to help with a few tips on how you can decorate the terrace in summer.
Set up the terrace in a harmonious color scheme
You may know this, but we still want to mention it: the combination of colors and nuances contributes immensely to the atmosphere. You can choose between colorful arrangements for the textiles such as upholstery, carpets, tablecloths and curtains or monochrome or single-color combinations. With the former there is a risk that it will quickly appear too chaotic and untidy. For this reason, the second variant is more recommended because it creates a quiet, harmonious ambience. Note the following:
- With colorful arrangements
Bright colors seem perfect for summer. But then it's better to stick to a smaller number of colors. Three colors, which can also contrast with each other, are completely sufficientto give a colorful picture, but also reduce the risk of chaos. If you add other colors, they should be neutral tones such as brown, beige, gray or white. These can also outweigh the others, so that the colors lean more towards accents. You can then add color accents using other means such as flowers, pots, lanterns and lanterns and similar decorations.
- Monochrome/single color combinations
With them you are always on the safe side. You should be careful with the main colors, especially if the upholstery and textiles also have a pattern. Simple will always be modern and exudes the calm that you are looking for on the terrace. This is especially true for curtains and othersSun protection products, which should not be missing when decorating the terrace in summer.
White or light colors in general also have the ability to make small areas appear larger. Furthermore, you shouldn't close them as this will only make everything seem even tighter. For example, white curtains and furniture and decorations made of light wood are very suitable and can exude a maritime flair. But this color combination is also suitable for the boho style.
Visually open up narrow areas
Small terraces that are framed by two or even more walls can be particularly restrictive. However, you can change that with the right decorative means. So when you decorate your patio in summer, keep this in mind too. A few plants of different heights or sizes that you distribute around the terrace and in front of the walls make the area appear more spacious and, above all, more natural and transform it into a cozy seating area.
In general, it is important to set up and use things in such areas that create a warm and cozy atmosphere. This also applies to the materials (and colors). Alsocasual accessories like hammock, rocking chairs or bean bags help to loosen up the atmosphere in the seating area.
Decorate your terrace in summer with the little details
The finishing touches come with the details – lights, candles, blankets, hanging and standing decorations. All of this is part of decorating your patio in summer. You'll now be enjoying your seating area late into the evening, so a few lights are a wonderful idea. Place a group of three larger lanterns in a corner of the patio or lanterns or asmall fire bowl on the tableto provide the terrace with a table decoration for the summer.
String lights have the same effect and also illuminate and decorate the higher areas, such as the ceiling, a railing, a wall or even columns.
The lamps, lanterns and lights are not only a beautiful decoration in the evening hours (or at least it would be nice if they were also during the day) and can therefore give your outdoor area the finishing touch. Hung or placed in groups or individually and in the form of an accent - light sources should not be underestimated and should not be missed.
