Floor

One thing that will make your space more stylish and valuable is the type of flooring you put down. Two options stand out in our ranking:

Lay Wooden Flooring (as long as it is in an easy-to-maintain area, otherwise this will become a big problem); and because? Well, because it is warmer you, you can even walk barefoot through it, and visually, your area will gain cachet.

Putting Artificial Grass on your floor is a great advantage in of visual appeal, and it also does not require the maintenance that grass entails.

Other Choices: The typical ceramic flooring, which must be non-slip to avoid accidents; another of the traditional winners in ground floors and chalets is stone, preferably those with a darker tone such as elegant slate. The problem is that it is more expensive.

Air Conditioning 

In addition to the already assimilated solar control elements: awnings, covers, enclosures… A good initiative is to get a nebulizer or sprayer, a device that works by spreading water in very fine drops and absorbing heat.

Another highly advisable alternative is to incorporate canvas curtains, which can act as room separation, protection from the outside, etc.

Neighbourhood Community

If you don’t want to have problems, take a good look at the internal regulations of your community before doing anything if you are in one, since air conditioning units, awnings and sun protection systems are normally regulated there.

Terrace Decoration

The main problem they usually present is narrowness; well, here we leave you two ideas to take advantage of it and create a space for rest.

A very effective option is to opt for fresh fabrics in the covers to cover your chairs, hammocks and other outdoor seats. And yes, this also goes for other accessories, such as cushions or pots.

The second alternative is to get removable furniture that you can extend when you use it and store it easily when you need more space: some folding chairs and tables will be perfect, and if you can fit that folding hammock even better.

Decorate Gardens And Patios.

A very important aspect is lighting since (especially in summer) one of the favourite moments is usually being able to have a relaxed dinner outside, which you better take into account when organizing your space. In this sense, we recommend that you get solar lanterns and lamps. They will take advantage of the daily sunlight to charge, and at night, you can use them to illuminate your garden. If you have a pool, always have it ready for a good dip. And if you are going to be away, don’t forget to cover it well in order to avoid accidents and deterioration.

Another fundamental aspect when composing your space is that you try to ensure that all outdoor furniture is as resistant to possible inclement weather, remember that they will be exposed for a long time. Also, if you have space, you don’t need a good fabric lounger or hammock; it will be perfect for a good nap.

Furnish Your Porch

We can apply what we have seen for terraces, especially if it is low, and adapt it to the situation that this is the entrance to your house. Let’s remember that if the porch is on the back, it gives you more space to play, while the main one will take it away from you.
