If your home has an open terrace, then congratulations, you are a lucky homeowner! Now, let’s see some ways you can decorate this space to make it Pinterest-worthy.
Give it a shade
An open terrace doesn’t mean that it has to be at the mercy of nature. By providing shade, you can have a place to sit and enjoy the weather without being too hot, cold or getting soaked! Among the different types of shades, terrace awnings is one of the most popular choices. The awning can be retractable which means it can give you shade when you need it and an open space when you don’t. It is made up of durable materials which means it is perfect for harsh Indian weather. It is also one of the most cost-effective options in the market. If you are looking for something more luxurious and stylish, a glass roof is a great choice. They will not impair the lovely view from your terrace while protecting you from rain. It is, however, not good for terraces that faces sunlight for most of the day as it could become very hot under the glass roof.
Add furniture according to the overall décor
Once you have a shade, you can think about adding furniture. When choosing the material, it is best to go for wood, bamboo or rattan furniture that is sturdy and can withstand harsh weather. The style of furniture can be chosen depending on what you want to do on your open terrace. For example, if you want to host parties or get-togethers, go for a comfortable sofa and other sitting chairs. If you want the space to be a cosy corner just for you, throw in a mattress and some comfortable cushions for lounging around. Or you can even hang a swinging chair to create a reading nook.
Add plants
The best and the most budget-friendly way to decorate your open terrace is with plants. You can have anything from beautiful flowering plants to lush succulents. If you are good with gardening, plant seasonal flowers, and you can use wrought iron plant stands to place them around your terrace. If you have a terrace awnings, you can also consider hanging creepers and such little plants from it. For those who are not good at keeping plants alive, succulents like cactus, jade plants and other low-maintenance plants.
An open terrace is not something every homeowner is lucky to have. So, if you have one, don’t forget to decorate it right so that it can become one of the most beautiful parts of your home.
