How to harness your terrace

Manzana kempinski

We know it, we’re in quarantine. And for this reason, in the last few days the terraces have reached a new level of prominence. We go out to take a breath, to read, to enjoy the good weather… and people who have a terrace have become truly privileged.

You’re probably one of those few lucky ones who have a terrace, but are you harnessing it properly? Today, we are putting all our experience in lighting and hotel furniture design at your disposal, to make your terrace the envy of the neighbourhood.

The first thing we have to take into account are the trends of this spring-summer 2020. Wicker and rattan are the eternal leaders of the terraces, their rule goes back many years; but why not giving it a modern touch, by choosing these materials dyed in the Pantone colour of the year.

Plants are something that shouldn’t be missing from your terrace either. They bring freshness and perfume the atmosphere. Take into account the level of sun and shade to which they will be exposed, in order to choose the most appropriate ones for the type of climate in your area.

What would a terrace be without furniture? It is supposed that we go out to the terrace in order to relax, so the furniture should be comfortable and pleasant. However, if you want a little extra comfort, don’t forget to add some cushions; plus, if you choose them in vibrant colours, you will add a cheerful touch we are sure you will love.

Summer nights would not be the same without going out to our terrace after dinner, or enjoying some drinks with our friends outdoors. Good lighting is the key to achieving that pleasant atmosphere you’re looking for. Wall lights, lanterns and even table lamps are perfect for this part of the house. Although LED strips are perfect if you’re looking for that indirect light effect that’s so fashionable, don’t overlook optical fibre, you might be surprised.

The most daring ones also have a place in the terrace’s decoration, with backlit furniture that combines the best of outdoor furniture and the most avant-garde lighting. It is the perfect way to add colour to your terrace and turn it into a space worthy of any 5-star hotel.
