The good weather is here; sunny days, dips in the pool and days at the beach. Decorating your home's outdoor space, be it a terrace, garden, porch, rooftop terrace or patio, is essential for the summer season. Here we have some ideas on how to decorate your garden or terrace and make it a unique space.

 

A stylish garden

Your home’s garden is the focal point of summer. Candles, cushions, rugs, sofa, and table sets, lanterns, garden fountains, torches, flowerpots, armchairs… There are plenty of elements that can represent your lifestyle in this part of your home! Choose products that adapt to your way of life and turn your garden into a very stylish space.

A living room in your garden

How about turning your garden into your living room for the summer season? If you have a big garden, take advantage of the space, and turn it into a living area so that it becomes your favourite summer spot. You can have a corner sofa with a coffee table, a long table with seats for your guests or even a swing in your garden-living room. You will want to spend all summer in your garden.

Chill-out corner

Corner sofas are one of the most sought-after pieces for creating chill-out and relaxation spaces in gardens or terraces. They are very versatile, and you can enjoy the small things in life there: reading a book, sunbathing, relaxing, having a refreshing drink with friends, or taking a nap… After all, it will be your chill-out corner, filled with peace and harmony. Add your personal touch and relax!

Plants and more plants

Plants for your garden or terrace are a must. Look for hardy and durable plants for your garden. There are also all kinds of plants to make your patio a diverse oasis: palm trees, cactus, shrubs, fruit trees, climbing plants, rose bushes… Go for natural spaces that bring freshness, life and colour to your outdoor space.

Terraces made for relaxation

Who doesn’t think of the word relax when they think of their terrace? Whether it’s large, medium or small, you can make it your own place for resting and relaxing. A couple of hammocks, sun loungers or even a Balinese bed could be part of your garden or terrace so that you can relax to the fullest.

 

 

Night lighting

Plan your outdoor lighting. There’s so much choice for lighting: lanterns, candles, candelabras, decorative lights, torches, solar lamps, LED outdoor spotlights, ambient lighting or even streetlamps. Outline areas of your garden and choose the right lights for the main space, walkways, and walls. Give it a unique night-time atmosphere!

 You need shady spaces

Shady areas for hot, sunny summer days are an absolute must. You can choose from various products to protect you from the sun when outdoors: pergolas, parasols, sail awnings, terrace or garden awnings, tents, shade nets, gazebos… Go for the one that suits your outdoor space best.

Weatherproof furniture

It is very important to choose outdoor furniture that’s suitable and sturdy. If you live near the sea, be aware that bad weather and humidity affect furniture durability. Materials such as plastic, polypropylene, resin or PVC are excellent choices, given their durability, easy cleaning, and low weight.

Must-have outdoor textiles

Textile accessories can make your garden even cosier. There are many fabric options: outdoor cushions, whether for hammocks, chairs, sofas or armchairs, sofa blankets or plaids, outdoor rugs, poufs, armchairs… Pick some that match your outdoor colour palette and you’re covered.

Linen rugs or jute rugs for outdoor use

Look for comfort for your outdoor floor space. Linen and jute rugs bring warmth to your garden or terrace. On top of these rugs, place an outdoor table with some armchairs or a large bench for summer moonlit dinners. You will feel more comfortable with your outdoor flooring!

Outdoor poufs and cushions

In addition to sofas and armchairs for your garden, you have other very comfortable options for your outdoor space. From popular poufs to a wide range of cushions, pillows, armchair cushions, upholstered outdoor cushions… Everything you need to create a relaxing space! Make sure they are weatherproof, as they will be outside most of the time. As a tip, put covers over your outdoor gear to protect it from the weather.

Fun outdoor decorations

Be as creative as you want when decorating your outdoor area. Options are infinite: paintings, modern fountains, gnomes, Buddha statuettes, decorative figures of exotic animals such as iguanas, hippopotamuses, crocodiles, parrots, turtles, elephants… Personalise your garden with the accessories you like the most!

 

 

A swing or see-saw in your garden

Add a touch of fun and playfulness with a canopy swing or an outdoor seesaw. If you have additional space, you can even put in several seesaws so that your kids can have fun in the garden. This type of furniture is finished in different weather-resistant materials such as steel, aluminium or metal.

Simple and versatile designs for accessories

Go for simple, minimalist, and versatile. Use light tones and white accessories for your garden, which will soothe the summer heat. Choose pieces with light, simple designs and multiple functionalities. Essential accessories such as cushions, decorative bowls or ceramic vases can be part of your terrace.

A Mediterranean terrace

Who doesn’t want to live a purely Mediterranean lifestyle? The blue of the summer sky, the sea breeze and the sun’s rays in your terrace or garden, will make you want to decorate your outdoor space with Mediterranean touches. Shades of blue and white that emulate the coastline can be reflected in your paintings, tableware, or table linen. A must for your summer season!

Barbecue area

As is well known in summer, barbecues are the perfect excuse to bring friends and family together for evening gatherings. Nowadays, there are all kinds of barbecues for you to choose the one that best suits your environment: charcoal barbecues, gas barbecues, electric barbecues, or even, if your garden allows it, a built-in barbecue. Enjoy alfresco lunches and dinners together with your loved ones.
