1 Use textiles
The most affordable and budget way to decorate a small terrace is to add textiles. Translucent light curtains will look good between wooden beams and protect in the heat from burning sunlight, and in the evening - from drafts and mosquitoes. Also, they will immediately give the space without a cozy view. At the same time, it is impossible to just take cotton or silk curtains from home and hang them outdoors. The best options from acrylic and other artificial tissues are suitable - they are not exposed to burnout in the sun, durable and suitable for frequent washing in a washing machine.
Also do not forget about the upholstery for garden furniture, covers for decorative pillows, tablecloths and blankets. All together these elements make the terrace with a pleasant place to relax. It is desirable to pick them up, combining color, texture and pattern, so that the result is thoughtful and stylish space.
2 Plant plants
Even on the narrow site, there is enough space for several flower pots. Carefully think over landscaping: the roof canopy or visor throw the shadow on the terrace throughout the day, it means that the teothelubile plants and flowers will be appropriate. Fern, bush dwarf roses, thuja, cactus, sage, lavender. You can arrange at the foot of the house of the house pot with ivy and it will melt, clinging to the wall, creating a beautiful vertical gardening. If the space is still not enough and do not want to stumble about the pots, climbing the garden furniture, try placing the plants on the steps or on the sides of the door.
The terrace is also a great place to try their hand in horticulture and create a mini-garden. Try to grow meat, basil, dill, salad, cucumbers, bell peppers and even tomatoes.
Choosing plants, you need to consider: an outdoor terrace or closed. On closed, some plants will be able to even overweight with a small additional insulation, and they will have to take them into the house with open.
3 Use backlight
One of the easiest ways to add comfort to the interior, hanging the garland, good and for the open terrace. Just do not take the New Year's garland for these purposes, which is designed to work in the room. You need a street model with additional protection against dampness and mechanical damage that will ensure your safety when it is used.Choose a model from PVC - it will endure the cold to -20 ° C if you decide to turn it on in winter. The protection marking indicated on the package must be IP67 or IP68.
Decorating the terrace, consider that in the evening it will have to be highlighted more thoroughly so that there can be dinner and spend time with guests.
What lighting method to choose
- Put candles. This one is the case when you use massive heavy candles in candlesticks or in a glass stand.
- Install lamps on the wall. It is not necessary to even withdraw electricity to them, you can find an option that is secured on the wall and working from the batteries.
- Hang lamps under a canopy. The most technically complex, but very spectacular way. You need to withdraw several wires for lamps and hang them in different parts of the terrace so that they hide at 20-30 cm.
4 Make a beautiful composition of garden furniture
For a small terrace will have to select elegant and compact furniture, which will leave free space for a comfortable movement and will not overload the space visually.
A miniature metal table with a couple of chairs, resembling furniture in European street cafes, is well suited. Or you can try to make a sofa from the pallets - in this way you will choose the size, height and shape and significantly save on the creation of a sofa to order specifically under your terrace. You can also place the edge to the wall a couple of chairs and put a small piece of the sawn tree between them - instead of a stand under a vase or as a coffee table.
5 Put the floor tile
A slightly more labor cost solution for decorating - put the floor with a tile. In fact, this technique is even beginning, as you only need to clean the surface, apply a cement screed and, when it can dry, put a tile on the adhesive composition. Select the rough and frost-resistant finishing material so that in rainy weather it does not slide, and in the frosty - it was not cracked.
In addition to the decorative advantage over the ordinary wooden floor, the tile has an important feature - it is very pleasant to walk barefoot in the heat.
6 Make a decor from unnecessary things
Beautiful decor is not necessarily bought in the store. Often it can be made from the girlfriend, which already exist on your dacha and even look like trash. The photo is an example of the fact that even a rusty rain barrel can be written so that it will look like a stylish design item. From old boxes, a frame on the wall, from massive and coarse beams - a unique sofa.
