After the period of confinement, we have realized the importance of having an outdoor space where we can breathe fresh air. In fact, in recent years the purchase of homes with terraces and balconies has skyrocketed, as well as the acquisition of outdoor furniture. In the following article, we tell you how to design an outdoor patio, whether large or small, for your home or office.

How To Design A Small Outdoor Patio

According to data from the Funcas analysis centre, 65% of the Spanish population lives in apartments with 10 or more homes. Spanish building architecture usually has 1 or 2 small balconies outside. But don’t worry; you can take advantage of that space of between 3 and 5 square meters by incorporating the following tips and decorative elements:

• Two-Seater Sofas Or Armchairs For Outdoors: An area to rest is essential on any patio or small terrace, which is why the sofa seems essential. To take up as little space as possible, we will choose furniture with only 2 or 3 seats (between 1.40 and 2.20 meters long) that is also made with weather-resistant materials such as those analyzed in the previous article. For outdoor areas, matching pallets with long, curved cushions in pastel tones are increasingly popular, combined with other smaller cushions on top. In this way, we will give a natural and modern touch to the room.
• Tall Plants: They take up little space on the ground but a lot on the surface. Whether they are natural or artificial plants, that feeling of nature will give freshness to the room. Some species that fit this description are the banana tree or strelitzia, bamboo, areca, boxwood, a cactus, or even hanging plants like ivy.
• Take Advantage Of The Walls: In small gardens, the walls become a very valuable decorative element. The most popular thing in recent years is a vertical wooden board and completing it with pots of different colors in the style of the city of Córdoba. It will transport your guests to the beautiful Andalusian patios.
• Folding And Wall-Mounted Dining Tables: Dining tables are one of the elements that take up the most space but are also most useful for the family. One solution to integrate them is by anchoring them to the wall so that they can be folded when not in use and thus leave that space free for passage.
• Ceiling Lighting: despite being very fashionable, it is preferable to avoid floor lighting that takes up unnecessary and very valuable space. Instead, we recommend using outdoor wall lights, ceiling lanterns or garlands that will illuminate and decorate the terrace in equal measure.

How To Design A Large Outdoor Patio

If, on the other hand, your home or company has a large garden, we also have decoration recommendations that may be useful. In the case of large outdoor patios, we can incorporate the decorative elements mentioned in the previous point and also add the following spaces:

• A Space For Parties And Celebrations: You can turn your patio into a meeting point with friends and family by purchasing designer clearance furniture like that offered by Vondomevents. Or, if you want to organize a specific event, we recommend that you find out about the party furniture rental offered by Vondomevents.

• A Cooking And Mass Eating Area: Install a barbecue or paellero, choose a long coffee table and become the centre of meetings.
• Make An Enclosure To Take Advantage Of Your Terrace In Summer And Winter: Terrace enclosures are an ideal alternative to expand the space in your house and take advantage of your terrace when the weather is bad.

• Tanning And Relaxation Area: If you are fortunate enough to have a pool on your terrace, we recommend dedicating a space with modern loungers to relax while you tanning.
