The first step is to keep in mind three main points namely
the stylistic continuity with the interior of the house. The outdoor space is an extension of the house, an extra room to be exploited and consequently lines, colors and style must reflect the interior environments; the use of plants to give color to the terrace and bring nature indoors. It is advisable to choose plants suitable for the climate in which you live and opt for shrubs and flowers that are adapted to outdoor environments; optimize spaces by studying the surface of the terrace and carefully choosing the furniture to insert and their positioning.
Starting right from the last point, we underline how the attention must be maximum especially if the dimensions of the terrace are not very large. Compact furniture, folding tables, stackable chairs they are the best solution to reduce the surface occupied. You will have to create visual depth by playing with transparent walls or with mirrors that reflect natural light.
Better to use light colors for the furniture and walls of the building (white, beige, pastel shades). Then you can add brightly colored accessories to brighten everything up. A brilliant idea is to use the railing with hanging planters, decorations or wall tables.
When the terrace is large, however, it will be necessary divide spaces by creating functional zones. An area with table and chairs, another with sofas, yet another with a barbecue. Everything will be more organized, elegant and practical. You can also add fountains, sculptures or fireplaces and use large plants to color the environment and create shaded areas.
Remember to choose weatherproof materials (aluminium, treated wood, synthetic rattan) so that the furniture does not get damaged quickly by the weather.
