Terrace Design

If the theater starts with a hanger, then any house starts from the street. This is particularly true in relation to country houses or simply to separate mansions. Moreover, they settle in them precisely in order to have a part of their personal nature: a garden, a park or a lawn. So, this space becomes, as it were, a part of the interior interior, capable of giving a full description to the owners of the house. If you want the characteristic to be positive and respectful, take care of the proper design of the terrace.

Terrace: what is it and what is it for?

A terrace is usually called an open area adjoining the house. As a rule, it is only slightly elevated above the ground and has no walls. If the terrace is glazed, then it is already a veranda .

Verandas and terraces are used as living rooms, canteens, rest areas. Depending on the season, they can be equipped with fans or heaters. As a consequence, the use of such "attachments" is practically not limited to seasons and temperature fluctuations.

Create a terrace design

Thus, the terrace is a kind of smooth transition from the natural habitat to the interior decoration of the house. This circumstance dictates the rules of decorating the site. It is absolutely not important, it is a question of terrace design in the country or the design of the terrace of a full-fledged country house - the rules of registration depend only on whether there is a wall at the site.

So, for the design of the summer terrace, the Mediterranean style perfectly suits: wooden floors, wicker furniture, light fluttering textiles, flowering plants in pots or floor pots. White, blue, green, yellow - all juicy natural shades will be here by the way. Important: the entire design of the open terrace should not be afraid of summer downpours or it is easy to be transported to the shelter.

As for the design of the covered terrace (verandah), on the one hand, it gives more scope for imagination, and on the other, is more influenced by the concept of the overall stylistic design of the house. Such a verandah is "more a house than a garden", that is, it requires more massive furniture and calmer color combinations. At the same time, its weather conditions are not at all terrible due to weather fluctuations, which means that the factor of ease and mobility can be missed. English style will be good here: a fireplace, a rocking chair, cozy rugs, soft sofas with a lot of pillows, candles, stone wallpaper on the walls, antiques, a winter garden - everything that adds charm to the cold and wet autumn and winter weekdays.
