In Mediterranean countries where temperatures vary so much throughout the year we tend to enjoy our terraces and gardens only when the weather is good, picking up summer furniture and accessories when it starts to get cold and leaving the space empty during part of the autumn and the winter. In most European countries where the climate is cool even in summer, adapt the exterior decoration depending on the season to get the most out of any outdoor area in your home.
Perhaps it could be interesting to take an example of their customs and see what elements can help us to use the terrace during the winter and thus learn to amortize your chances. A fundamental complement will be the typical garden trunks or drawers, where we can quickly store blankets, cushions, candles, lamps, etc. if it suddenly rains.
You can use the same furniture as the summer, although it is preferable to opt for outdoor pieces in materials such as wood, rope, wicker, raffia ... that are not as cold when supported as metallic ones. If we place furs, blankets or pillows on the seats they will be more comfortable and will serve to give us heat; Especially if we place a brazier, a portable fireplace or several lamps that alleviate the cold and illuminate the terrace when it begins to get dark.
Who has a house with porch can create a corner where to relax without being out in the open; With a turned wood bench, some tall chandeliers and baskets as magazine racks or containing warm clothes, we will make the entrance a very cozy place.
