How to style a magazine-worthy terrace

Terrace décor ideas 

Designing your terrace is much more than putting some chairs and a table on a patio, it's about combining your furniture harmoniously with the setting. Depending on the proportions of your space, and how you want to use each zone (a dining area, lounge and/or chill-out area) you'll need to think about the materials you want to use for paving, your colour scheme (we recommend going for beige, brown, white or sky blue) and what furniture you want to have on your terrace.

And now for the practicalities:

• If your terrace is particularly big and you want to create distinct areas, you can zone the space by combining wood or stone effect ceramic flooring with rattan armchairs or wicker sofas.
• Placing additional furniture or folding elements to the side will make the space feel bigger, giving you more free space between the different zones.
• Adding decorative accents like plants or festoon lighting will add a natural, unique look to your terrace.

#01. Recommended flooring for terraces 

We recommend installing anti-slip, ceramic floor tiles to keep your space stylish and safe

As well as making the space safer, they'll make it easier to clean and maintain. Especially in the event of extreme temperatures or rain.

Porcelanosa's collections, such as PAR-KER® ceramic parquet and cement inspired Premium large format tiles (HIGHKER®), can be used to create uninterrupted designs and add a sense of breadth between zones. We recommend using Butech adhesives for optimum placement.

# 02. Cool terrace furniture

Again, this depends on the size of your terrace. You might want to go for a large wood or aluminium table with chairs, a smaller table with two armchairs, or bamboo or white upholstered sofas.

If you're looking for more of a boho feel, you could combine floor-level sofas or armchairs with vivid colours like red, yellow or green.

If you're thinking a more Mediterranean style, the ideal terrace furniture to go for would be wicker with ethnic print cushions or jute footstools.

• Go for light, stackable or modular tables that don't take up much space, giving you more free space to enjoy your terrace.
• Choose lighter, plain floor and wall tiles to make your space brighter.
• Incorporating a vertical planter or tall plant stand with several plants will give you the green and cosy feel your terrace needs.
