EN PLEN AIR

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TERRACE

Spending the summer at home might be a more common choice this year than in the past. This could be the perfect moment to refresh and renew our living spaces—starting with the terrace—to enjoy long summer evenings or early morning breakfasts outdoors.

To fully enjoy our en plein air corner, we don’t need vast spaces or breathtaking views. Instead, let’s think about how we’d like to use it and choose flexible solutions.

Here are a few versatile, budget-friendly suggestions:

• Add potted and hanging plants—greenery will make it feel like your own secret garden
• Cover old flooring with decking—easy on the eyes and pleasant to walk on barefoot
• Choose foldable furniture like chairs and tables—easy to store and only out when needed
• Include a bench with storage—a space-saving must-have to quickly tidy cushions and textiles when it rains
• Use thick, colorful curtains for shade—you’ll gain both privacy and ambiance
• Add outdoor string lights—available in all lengths and LED options, perfect for the evening
• Include an unexpected accessory, like a mirror—to give your terrace more personality

Don’t aim for perfection—aim for a relaxed and informal vibe. You can always decide to add more elements later on.

And what about color choices for textiles and accessories?

Let yourself be inspired by the current trend: color analysis, which identifies a reference palette for each of us based on our unique coloring.

So let’s discover which group we belong to and have fun selecting accessories based on those combinations.

Have fun and enjoy your summer!
