Do you have a terrace at your dacha? If there is, you can live on it in hot summer weather, going home only at night. You can even enjoy sleeping outdoors. A proper terrace is not afraid of rain, wind, or sun, and it is cozy and pleasant to be on it. There are a lot of terrace equipment options.
It is not difficult to equip a terrace, but you can and should add individuality to it. Let’s share ideas now.
1. Open Terrace
It is the simplest option, which we can create for relaxing in the sun. On the open terrace, there must be sun loungers and the opportunity for several people to relax lying down. Therefore, the more expansive the outdoor terrace, the better.
2. Terrace Under an Umbrella
When a fence limits the terrace, it is convenient because no one will see you behind it. It is also an additional shadow. An umbrella from the sun will also come in handy. It can always be quickly folded and hidden.
3. Terrace with a Living Wall
When the terrace becomes an extension of the house, it is very convenient. It is as if you are relaxing in the fresh air and under your roof simultaneously. A green wall will add a sense of closeness to nature and help you to retire.
4. Terrace with Garlands
For many, the terrace is evening gatherings in silence with pleasant conversation. And here, you just need magical lighting! Bright garlands of any color will come to the rescue, which can flicker and change the depth of light and become the main decoration on holiday evenings.
5. Terrace with Swing
The dacha and the terrace are a great opportunity to make old dreams come true. For example, why not equip a large and comfortable swing on the terrace instead of armchairs and a sofa? After all, this is the time of your rest. Why not plunge into childhood?
6. Terrace with Roof Slats
Pergolas provide both sun protection and an excellent backdrop for creative ideas. They can become a stand for climbing plants, garlands, decorations, curtains, and you can change this decor according to the seasons.
7. “Green” Terrace
Even if you have a small area that does not fit all the plants of your dreams, you can turn your terrace into a small greenhouse. Hang up the pots, put the plants in pots and boxes, fence in with wooden partitions – and now you have a whole garden.
8. Terrace with Glass Roof
The glass will protect you from rain and wind and keep you out of the sun by letting in light. It’s convenient, but consider ventilation: a hot glass canopy can make your dream of coolness.
9. Terrace with Curtains
The tulle fluttering in the wind looks beautiful and reminds us of the seaside. The idea may be impractical, but it is so convenient to isolate oneself from neighbors and at the same time not lose either fresh air or sunlight. We can remove fabric quickly if necessary.
10. Terrace with Lanterns
In a home, lighting should be functional and practical, but we can use different ideas on the terrace. Use, for example, paper lanterns or multi-level lighting. We can hide lamps in the grass or tree crowns, and the light can be of any color and saturation. So the situation will always be different.
11. Mini Terrace
Of course, it’s good when the terrace is large, and you can have parties on it. But even on 3-4 square meters, you can organize a recreation area. It requires comfortable furniture, bright decor, and good lighting.
12. Terrace with Candles
By the way, if you got a house with a terrace without street lighting and other amenities, you can still make the terrace convenient for an evening pastime. You just need a lot of candles. By the way, they may have a particular composition that repels insects.
