Terrace with scandinavian concepts

This terrace has been designed to toe Scandinavian design principles as the owner wanted to keep it as simple as possible. The stylish design utilizes clean natural elements within the layout wherein both plants and landscaping have been incorporated in wholesome partnership to make the best use of available pace. From drop-down lamps to furniture and the open roof that lets the largest tree hug the sky, every aspect showcases meticulous planning.

Contemporary layout

Instead of setting up metal or plastic planters the designers have added a touch of class to this

beautiful terrace with a customized planting area. Decorative lights along the terrace wall add to the relaxation zone's atmosphere as does the trendy rattan furniture which can be easily moved in and out of the house depending on outside weather.

Restful lounge space

Keeping in mind the tropical Indian weather one should place comfortable wicker furniture or plastic furniture in outdoor areas. Here the large terrace has enough space to set up two lounge areas one that is under a covered roof and one open air. The relaxed lounge areas with soft toned cushions ensure comfort whether it is warm summer or cool autumn season.

Luxury retreat

The combination of landscaped garden, a raised pergola like a stage and other in-built details in this modern terrace enhances the overall appeal of the home. Artificial grass has been laid out along with combination of real and artificial plants that enhances the terrace appearance in support with harmonious balance of furniture, decorative items, plants and structured layout.

Simple terrace design

Low on budget but still want to make your terrace attractive? Just invest in simple artificial grass that looks like a charming green carpet sd here and support it with colorful earthen pots filled with beautiful seasonal flowers. See here how the enthusiastic owner keeps passion for gardening alive with neat rows of plants.

Bar for the terrace

In today's time of small houses, having a lavish terrace may not be possible but that does not mean every available space in existing terrace cannot be used. Even if there is room just a few stools use the open air space in a smart way like the designers have by creating a bar within the artistic terrace wall that looks like a decorative element. To make the place look lively and private you can grow creepers along the metal grill and frame that will keep the place cool too.

Pebbled garden

This garden could look a little claustrophobic due to the close proximity of building close by but due to this ingenious design the region has illusion of a stepped garden. Raised seating area with low chairs provides an elevated region that makes people feel they are surveying the garden instead of being a part of it. By limited greenery to grass and a few planters there is sufficient floor space to include multiple design elements like the tiles and white pebbles that enhance overall appearance of this garden.

Gym and relaxation zone

Many balconies and terraces often have the issue of lack of privacy followed by exposure to sun, rain and frost. To maintain the privacy of your balcony have a barrier like this simple bamboo or metal railings and then add fast growing wall of flowering vines to add an evergreen look to your space. This layout will add extra volume and privacy to your valuable space so you can relax or exercise as you please.

Partly covered terrace

When you are blessed with the luxury of floor space on the terrace concentrate on making it look good and feel good. To achieve that add aroma with aromatic plants to stimulate the senses everytime you are here. Inbuilt sitting spaces along the terrace wall saves the trouble of lugging furniture in and out while the halfway covered space allows you to enjoy best of both worlds irrespective of the weather.
