Furnishing outdoor
spaces: the ultimate guide

The season is here and what better time to make your terrace a pleasant place to retreat to and enjoy the outdoors? Furnishing an outdoor space , no matter how large or small, may seem like a simple task, but the reality is different: just placing a table and a few chairs is not enough to create the right atmosphere, there is much more.
Size, aesthetic tastes and stylistic combinations are the crucial factors for a remarkable outdoor furniture.

Furnishing a small terrace

Who says that outdoor spaces have to be large and boundless? Even a small terrace can provide incredible atmospheres if studied in detail. First of all, it is important to prioritise space-saving and functional furniture: choose folding chairs such as the Pocket model, made of polypropylene and available in different colours, together with ottomans and side tables placed in the corners of the area can be an optimal strategy to make the most of space.

Furnishing a large terrace

Although it seems simpler to think of filling the outdoor space with many furnishings, stylistic inconsistency is always lurking, because the more options available, the greater the chance of making mistakes. When furnishing a large terrace , it is preferable to start with the ‘star’ accessory in order to build the rest around it. For example, a covered pergola can be arranged around a table such as Diesis in white, enhanced by the Ines chairs perfect for creating a convivial area for lunch or dinner.

Furnishing poolside areas

A relaxation area to fully enjoy the fine weather is one of the most popular solutions of the moment. A poolside area, whether overlooking a lawn or with paving of any kind, can be structured with a few simple decorative elements that can make all the difference.
The Mood chairs by Bontempi Casa, for example, comfortable and functional in polypropylene, are perfect when combined with furnishing accessories such as Pattern  a small table or ottoman that serves also as a lacquered steel magazine rack.
