If you are a terrace addict and want to take your outdoor space to the next level, here are some terrace interior design ideas that you will love:

LOVE TO the small spaces, terraces with lots of charm

Do you have a small terrace? Do you love flower pots, but don’t have space?

There are small spaces that can accommodate our needs, sometimes it is difficult, but not impossible. We will tell you how to decorate your small terrace with taste and style.

Less furniture is more, so choose very well what you want to put: little bulky furniture, better if it is folding, plants vertically or hanging, and small table, for one or two diners.

You must also think very well what use you are going to give to the terrace: to eat, small vegetable garden and spiritual retreat, relaxation area or reading corner. Well, having these two concepts clear, you have several options to decorate it, the Bergen chair, made of natural rattan, folding, a perfect lounge chair to have moments of relaxation or reading. And as the folding, storing it inside your home is easy.

If you prefer an area where you can enjoy a delicious appetizer, the Konrad chair, Bistrot style, is perfect, it is also stackable, that will help you to keep the space tidy.

And we pair it with the Kalak outdoor table, creating a very flattering set for your terrace.

We leave you with some images from Instagram for inspiration:

Imperfect elements, paste and recycle a new mantra.

In terrace decoration, a growing trend is the integration of imperfect and natural elements. This philosophy is based on the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, which values the beauty of the imperfect, the ephemeral and the natural. By incorporating imperfect and natural elements in the decoration of your terrace, you can create a unique space full of personality.

Along these lines, don’t be afraid to show imperfection in decorative elements. For example, you can use clay pots with cracks or irregular surfaces instead of perfect ceramic pots. You can also use furniture made of wood or natural fibers such as wicker, the nature of its materials recreates small imperfections, and the craftsmanship of the pieces sometimes give variations in the weaves or finish that make them unique. These details add character and authenticity to your terrace.

Remember that the key to integrating imperfect and natural elements into your deck is uniqueness. It’s not about creating an artificial appearance of imperfection, but embracing the beauty and uniqueness of the materials and elements around you. Look for beauty in simple, natural things and allow your deck to reflect your connection to nature and your appreciation for the imperfect.

And in this line we have the Yaviky table, in two sizes, to create a nice set, or separately if you have less space.

The decoration is important and complements the chosen furniture, and in this line of imperfection and naturalness we have the Obam decorative mural, made of recycled pine wood, placing it in different directions can create original murals.

Natural and durable materials for sustainable exteriors

The choice of sustainable and durable materials in terrace design is gaining popularity. When designing a deck, it is important to consider environmentally friendly options that ensure long-term durability. Some sustainable and durable decking materials include FSC-certified wood such as teak, cedar and bamboo. These options are weather-resistant and can be treated with environmentally friendly sealants to improve their strength and lifespan.

Concrete, including recycled concrete, is versatile and durable, and can be used for floor surfaces, walls, benches and planters. Natural stones such as granite, slate and travertine are also durable and sustainable options that add texture and elegance to the terrace.

Table tops made of terrazzo are an option to achieve that texture and elegance, adding it to your terrace can be a style plus.

Continuing with this narrative, we also have the Nador table tops, both square and circular, in different colors, and all with a handcrafted finish.

Bamboo is a sustainable material on the rise in terrace construction due to its rapid growth and cultivation without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. It can be used in furniture, wall cladding and structural elements, and is strong and durable.

By choosing sustainable and durable materials, you contribute to a healthier and more environmentally friendly environment.

Integrating the terrace with the environment is essential

Integrating terraces with the environment is an increasingly popular trend in outdoor design. Instead of considering the terrace as a separate space, the aim is to create a fluid and harmonious link between the terrace and its natural surroundings. This trend is based on making the most of the beauty of the surroundings and creating an outdoor experience that feels like an extension of nature itself.

The choice of materials is essential, if you are in a natural environment, choose natural materials, rustic style, if you are in the city, perhaps better materials such as aluminum or synthetic fiber, similarly, if the terrace is in a coastal location, you can use materials such as treated wood to resist corrosion and shades of blue and white to evoke the feeling of beach, all with a Mediterranean style.

In addition to materials, vegetation is considered as a key element in the integration with the environment. Plants and trees that are native to the area are used to create a smooth transition between the terrace and the surrounding landscape. In this way, a sense of continuity is achieved and local biodiversity is favored.

Lighting also plays a key role in the integration of terraces with their surroundings. Warm and soft lights are used to highlight natural elements and create a cozy atmosphere at night. Natural fiber or ceramic lamps in porches can be a solution, in addition to creating a warm atmosphere, the Regat rattan lampshade is a great ally for this integration.

Another screen, which will help to integrate and fulfills another of the points mentioned above, is the Hakim screen, handcrafted in glazed clay.
