Arranging your outdoor space

Summer has well and truly arrived, bringing with it the desire to go outside and enjoy the beautiful sunny days. Today, the outdoors has become a true extension of the home, where you can give free rein to your decorating desires. 

Large garden or small terrace, we give you some ideas to create a warm atmosphere and organize a beautiful space. 

Define spaces 

Lunch with friends or afternoon rest... If you have enough space, you can organize your outdoor area into different spaces: a dining area with a large table for entertaining and a relaxation corner where you can lounge at any time of day. Install a sun lounger or floor cushion with some decorative pillows to create a lovely rest area. 

For furniture, the possibilities are varied: armchair, lounge chair, coffee table, garden furniture set... Think of your outdoor space as you would arrange your interior.

Accessorize with decorative objects 

Because it's not just reserved for the home's interior, decoration takes up its summer quarters as soon as the nice weather arrives. Cushions settle into garden sets and benches to bring style to your outdoor space.    

If you opt for a coffee table or side table, why not add a few elements to accessorize it? Vases, bowls, decorative objects... Accumulate pieces according to your desires. To bring a bucolic and romantic touch to your decor, try a birdcage and place some objects or flowers inside it. 

Decoration also reaches new heights thanks to hanging lights, which give the outdoor space a whole new dimension.

On the terrace, rugs also find their place. Colorful, jute or Berber style, they bring personality and character to outdoor decoration. 

ENHANCE WITH PLANTS AND FLOWERS

Whether you have a small terrace or a large space, plants are essential for creating a pleasant outdoor area. However, they must be chosen according to various criteria, such as the area, exposure, or sunlight in your outdoor space. 

If it's in full sun, choose plants that can withstand heat, such as orange trees or laurel flowers. If you're short on space, opt for bougainvillea or jasmine, which will bring greenery to a wall.
For shadier spaces, ferns are perfectly suited and don't mind the lack of sunlight. 

And if you want to bring a country and floral touch, bouquets also have their place outdoors: on a pedestal table, windowsill, or coffee table, they'll make a statement in a beautiful vase. 

Play with light  

To enjoy long sunny evenings, outdoor lighting is essential. In addition to your classic wall lights, you can add a warm and welcoming touch with lanterns or tealight holders. 

Candles also provide soft and intimate lighting, perfect for a romantic evening.

In both small and large spaces, decoration takes its place outdoors to allow you to fully enjoy beautiful summer evenings. Whatever your style, arrange your terrace or garden according to your desires to create a true little nest.
