Decoration of terraces and balconies
This year we have realized the importance of having a comfortable and cozy home since we have spent many hours in it. But also, we have discovered the importance of our outdoor spaces in the house. We tell you what the 2023 outdoor decoration trends are so that you have a terrace or balcony to the last and perfect for the summer months. Discover them below!
Outdoor lounge
One of the outdoor decoration trends 2023 is to have an outdoor living room. In summer we want to spend as many hours as possible outside. So we recommend investing in good outdoor furniture, comfortable chairs and a large table to dine with the whole family.
Modern, luxurious and at the same time super comfortable: a wooden or rattan lounge on the terrace combines with a wide range of accessories in different materials and colors. You will create a space that invites you to relax in the sun.
A cozy style that will take place this summer in outdoor decoration is the boho style. Perfect for relaxing and chatting with friends. With a bohemian and casual style, our outdoor lounge will give off an Ibizan summer atmosphere.
Tip : Terracotta also works great in combination with natural boho style. Put, for example, different sizes of terracotta pots with plants in one corner. Place some pots on raised stands and others on the ground. By playing with the difference in height, you will create a fun and tropical space.
Natural living
The sustainability and ecology have never been as hot as now issues. We see it in the way of designing outdoor spaces, but above all in the choice of materials.
The untreated wood, the bamboo, the rattan and stone have never been so popular. In addition to the design and choice of materials, this trend also pays attention to the use of color. Natural tones, such as terracotta and beige, also make their way outside.
Original chairs
You may already know that in a small space it is better to opt for a few larger items than to fill the entire space with smaller ones. The same goes for the balconies.
If you don’t have that much space on your balcony, you don’t have to do without a cozy seating area. The Acapulco chair style is still very popular, it is a true classic. Not only on the inside, but also on the outside, the Mexico chair looks great. This stylish all-rounder has a timeless design and will turn heads anywhere.
But not only the Acapulco Chair is perfect for sitting on the balcony. New models in modern style will also attract attention. The seating areas with furniture made of natural materials such as wood, rattan or polyrattan, as well as bamboo, invite you to spend hours and hours relaxing on our terrace.
Colorful accessories
Create a very summery atmosphere on the terrace with cheerful decorative accessories. Choose colored cushions that remind you of the holidays and that enhance your mood. You can choose colors like turquoise, fuchsia pink, lemon yellow or coral. The more the merrier!
In addition to bright summer colors such as orange, yellow, pink and green, summer motifs and tropical and floral prints add a lighthearted touch to the outdoors. And if you like the boho style, add fringed or tasseled cushions made of cotton and linen. They are perfect for trendy boho style chairs!
The carpets exterior colors have also come to stay. Last year we saw them in jute, but this year there are more materials. You will create an elegant, modern and practical look, because with an outdoor mat you will have a soft and pleasant surface for your feet outside.
The best of this outdoor decoration trend? It’s easy to change accessories depending on the occasion and adapt them to your mood.
Terraces full of plants
In 2023 we want to have a real connection with nature. That is why terrace gardens are succeeding this year. Therefore, it is not surprising that this summer one of the outdoor decoration trends 2023 is outdoor plants.
A terrace with plants and flowers provides naturalness and privacy, perfect for the prying eyes of neighbors or passersby. Add exotic plants to transport you to other places and you can travel from your own home.
While pampas grass, holly and bamboo are well suited for a sunny terrace, trendy plants that are ideal for large terraces and even gardens are: boxwood, cherry laurel, thuja, firethorn, azalea, wintergreen and common ivy.
To avoid having to do without the colorful flowers in the warm months, we recommend a cheerful mix of evergreen plants with the classic balcony plants. If, on the other hand, gardening is not your thing, a few natural-looking artificial plants are perfect for the balcony.
Our advice : when choosing plants for your terrace, think about the number of hours of sun and shade. Some plants do very well in the shade, while others need several hours of sun a day.
