6 ways to add color and joy to your terrace
The other day we were looking at tricks to make your terrace more welcoming and today I want to show you some ideas so you can give joy, color and personality to your outdoor spaces.
We are in summer and we want to make the most of these outdoor areas. Whether you have a small balcony or a larger terrace or if you want to decorate the porch, pay attention to these proposals with which you can give life to what is surely the favorite place in your house.
1.- Design a natural space
If you want your terrace, balcony or garden to come to life, there is nothing better than creating a beautiful natural space in which the floors be the protagonists. You can put pots of different sizes and shapes, colorful flowers, plants with large green leaves…
Add some other natural element such as some decoration on stone or natural fiber textiles.
Look at this example. Even if the space is not excessively large, some plants and fabrics will always give it a lot of personality.
2.- Colorful and cozy Mediterranean style
A style that I really like to decorate the terrace is the Mediterranean. Is bright, happy and warm at the same time, ideal for designing an outdoor space with personality and style. The color white will be one of the protagonists; You can combine it with blues and a touch of red, for example.
3.- An outdoor dining room
Another idea to make your outdoor area full of life is to design a dining area to enjoy pleasant moments outdoors around a table and a delicious meal.
To do this you will need a table and chairs, some textiles and some light so that this area is comfortable and you can also dine on the terrace with pleasant lighting.
And, as I told you before, the available surface area does not have to be huge. There are solutions for smaller spaces such as, for example, folding tables that are attached directly to the wall. You won’t be able to invite many guests but they are perfect for a more intimate evening, don’t you think?
4.- Give wings to your creativity
We are looking for ideas so that your terrace is filled with color and joy and for this you can use different crafts with which you can personalize it to the maximum. We remind you of some that will help you create unique details to place on your terrace or balcony.

Now I propose that you create a relaxing corner in which to enjoy silence, a good book or some music. Place one hammock on your terrace and simply lie on it without thinking about anything else.
In addition to being comfortable, it is very decorative. In this space for disconnection you can also put some plants, some candles or a LED string lights to make it even more welcoming.
In this example they have even chosen to put several of them around a wooden table. Without a doubt, a special place that invites us to relax in a privileged natural environment.
6.- The importance of textiles
We have already seen it in small strokes during this selection of ideas to decorate your terrace this summer but I would like to dedicate their own space to them. Sometimes we don’t realize the importance that textiles also in outdoor environments, both in winter by simply placing a blanket over the chairs and also in summer.
tablecloths, light fabrics If you have a sofa or chill out area or some bright, printed cushions, they will give a new twist to the decoration of this place.
