Terraces and gardens are undoubtedly the spaces in your home that gain more prominence with the arrival of good weather. Your reading corner in the shade, dinners with family and friends or your particular observatory where you can observe the stars. With a little imagination, the possibilities offered by this room are endless, which is why this year’s trends aim to achieve comfortable, elegant and sustainable spaces.
Your garden, patio or terrace are places to embrace hedonism without complexes. This relaxation in the rules will allow you to play much more with the elements at a decorative level to build a unique and personalized space. Maybe it’s a good time to rescue those jars that you don’t know where to put, or the time to put the old wooden bench to use that has passed through all the generations of your family.
The Japanese current of Wabi Sabi is inspired by the search for the authentic and natural and shies away from perfection. Irregular textures, handcrafted objects or raw materials such as metal or esparto grass have a place in this style with a single objective: to admire the beauty of reality.
The durability of the decorative elements wins whole over aesthetics or comfort. Wicker or teak are materials resistant to stains or high temperatures that will conquer all kinds of seats, from outdoor armchairs and sofas to gazebo chairs.
An effective alternative are objects made from recycled materials such as plastic or rice husks, present in the padding of poufs and other padded seats. The new sustainable designs blend well with vintage and second-hand furniture.
The furniture prefers rounded and sinuous silhouettes to guarantee the comfort of your companions and favor face-to-face communication. These forms that imitate those of nature arrive to conquer all kinds of seats, from elegant individual armchairs to benches where you can build a community.
Shades such as orange, green or terracotta continue this imitation of nature trail and colonize the coverings, upholstery and prints.
Your terrace or garden will be a continuation of nature, but within your own home. This summer the endemic plants will work in vertical pots, which will give the spaces great dynamism. Ferns, vines, aromatic plants, vegetables… There are endless combinations!
