While you are already making the first preparations for the new gardening season, you can also give the terrace a little attention and improve a few things. Aside from new paint or basic cleaning, you can also think about possible new garden furniture and decorations. But how can you beautify your terrace in a cheap way? We have a few ideas.
The little things make a big difference!
You don't have to invest in a complete renovation with new stone slabs or tiles, new expensive garden furniture set, roofing and glazing to make your outdoor seating area more attractive, comfortable and impressive. You don't need a lot of money to create a pleasant atmosphere, but rather a certain sensitivity for the decoration and plants. What could you do to beautify your patio?
Beautify the terrace cheaply - flowers and plants everywhere
In borders around the terrace foundation, in large pots or hanging flower pots - flowers and plants of various kinds really make a difference and change the atmosphere enormously. Whether you opt for numerous colorful splashes of color or prefer simpler green plants is entirely your decision. Add a few accents with large palm trees, oleanders or citrus trees around the seating area or create a free wall with colorful flowers in hanging pots.
When decorating the patio with flowers, think about the containers. The pots themselves are also a decorative element that you should not underestimate, especially with oversized models for large plants. Smaller pots can be arranged on an outdoor shelf, which is perfect for a free wall or as a room divider and privacy screen.
Do you need sun protection that should be as natural as possible? Shade trees, likeumbrella-shaped treesFor example, are ideal because they save space, but provide the desired area with natural shade and the garden with greenery.
Additional tip:If you would like to save a few euros even when there are hardly any flowers, you can also use faded specimens. These will then have enough time to grow this year and will delight you with the necessary color in the coming season.
Beautify the walls of the terrace
Speaking of walls: Many people don't even think about this practical, large area, but just like inside, it can be used for pretty shelves with decorations or, as already mentioned above, for plants. There are also murals that are suitable for outdoor use, but also simple cladding with wooden boards or strips, artificial ivyor even Corten steelare ideal for creating a beautiful corner.
Textiles in fresh colors or patterns
Textiles can of course also be used to suit your style if you want to beautify a terrace. Simple sofa cushions for outdoor use or seat cushions for the dining chairs, a cozy blanket and why not a few nice curtains for privacy and sun protection!

Frame the patio
You can beautify the terrace not only with pretty beds around it. Alternatively, if you don't have time for plant care, you can also create a gravel bed. It doesn't have to be a very wide bed to make a great impression. A narrow strip is completely sufficient and the terrace area will look much more modern and tidy. It is important that you lay a special garden fleece underneath so that unsightly weeds do not suddenly grow through the pebbles over time and make your life difficult.
