Can you imagine having a terrace as cozy and comfortable as a living room?
We love to travel, and we will soon. But until then, many of us have discovered that - from the way light reflects off the wall at a certain time in the morning to the comfort of an afternoon reading in our favorite corner of the sofa - our house can also be a paradise.
However, without a doubt, our greatest discovery is related to the exterior spaces of the house, which, during this time, have become our private retreat ... and that now, as soon as we can celebrate with family and friends, it will also become the fun center of our home, in a place to share, enjoy and embrace.
How, that your space lacks meters for all that? We don't think so! Surely it is possible to turn it into a little Eden by following these simple tips of IKEA:
1. Choose lightweight, foldable or stackable pieces , such as the ASKHOLMEN set (130 euros): they can be easily transported indoors if you prefer to continue the party inside and they allow you to free up the space to carry out your favorite activities when you do not have guests.
The ASKHOLMEN set of tables and chairs fold completely, occupying just a few centimeters on the wall
two. Prolongs the style of the interior outside to create a strong visual and emotional connection; this will give continuity to the space, expanding it visually. It is easy to achieve with special cushions, such as those from the FUNKÖN collection (from 5 euros), which maintain their beauty even in sunlight and are also waterproof.
3. Use versatile furniture . For example, a module with a footrest, like this one from the ÄPPLARÖ collection (set for 400 euros), can be transformed into a chaise longue, which you can join or separate to use two seats when you need them.
Four. Be careful with storage . If you don't have a lot of space, a table, stool or bench with storage, like this one from the SOLLERÖN collection (70 euros), are the ideal solution to enjoy a snack or drink... And, at the same time, store everything whatever you need, such as clothespins or a blanket for when it cools down.
Under each seat in the SOLLERÖN collection there is a large storage space
5. More green please! There is no outdoor space that does not benefit from something of nature, and meters are no excuse: you can use supports to hang plants on the railing such as the SOCKER planter (8 euros), trellises with planters such as those from the ASKHOLMEN collection (50 euros) or hanging pots, such as DRUVFLÄDER (7 euros), to create your garden.
6. some shade . Although we love to spend time in the sun, adding some shade to our terrace will allow us to take advantage of it more -and with more comfort-. A parasol like HÖGÖN (69 euros), durable and easy to clean, is enough to create a protected and special corner.
